– Harbaugh opened the door to Rex Ryan, saying he wouldn’t rule anything out and that Ryan “calls a better game than Rex Ryan.” The idea has fans and analysts buzzing about a fresh, chaotic edge for the defense. 📊
– Ryan hasn’t coached in an NFL game since 2016 with the Bills, and that season wasn’t great: Buffalo ranked 22nd in yards per play allowed (5.6), allowed 38.8% on scoring, gave up 40% on third downs, and had the 11th-most points per drive. ⚠️
– The matchup would pair Harbaugh with a familiar collaborator—Ryan has worked with him before on the Ravens’ staff and could bring a high-energetic, pressure-heavy approach if up-to-date with modern schemes. 🔥
– However, there’s real risk: Ryan’s decade away from coaching means he’d need to adapt to today’s game, and there’s concern about whether the old-school blitz-and-chaos philosophy can translate in 2026. 🧭
Bottom line: a Rex Ryan hire would be a high-risk, high-reward move that could redefine the Giants’ defensive identity—if the fit and updates land. Giants fans are buzzing to see which direction Harbaugh takes next. 🏈📊
