3. Rex Ryan

The toughest part about the situation with Rex Ryan and the Buffalo Bills is the head coach set the bar high for himself when he was hired in 2015, only to fall short of the playoffs each time. Technically, the Bills are still alive for a Wild Card spot in the AFC, but at 7-7 heading into Week 16, it would take an absolute miracle for Ryan’s team to make the playoffs when considering how much help they would need from the rest of the contenders.

At the end of the day, when looking back at the schedule, the truth is Buffalo struggled to compete against some of the top teams in the NFL throughout the 2016 season, so it’s no surprise to see them on the verge of being eliminated from the playoffs once again. In fact, six of their seven losses have come against teams that have either already clinched a playoff berth or are still in the hunt with two games to go.

All signs point to the Bills moving on from Ryan at season’s end, but that doesn’t mean they may have a change of heart at the last second. Either way, Ryan should be on the radar for the Rams regardless as he has a history of being a defensive genius.

And when looking at the potential surrounding the defense of Los Angeles for their next head coach, why wouldn’t Ryan show at least the slightest interest?
