Longtime Patriots nemesis Rex Ryan interviews for NFL coaching job (report)

The Cowboys are in need of a new defensive coordinator after Dan Quinn departed for the Washington Commanders, and it appears they have interest in a longtime rival of the New England Patriots.

According to multiple reports, Dallas interviewed Rex Ryan for its open position. The 61-year-old joins Ron Rivera and Mike Zimmer as others who have interviewed to be the next defensive coordinator.

It’s been eight years since Ryan coached in the NFL. His last stop was the Buffalo Bills where he served as the head coach and his twin brother, Rob Ryan, as an assistant coach and also worked with the defense.
