7. Rex Ryan

If not for an attrocious start to his color commentary career this year Rex Ryan might be atop the list to replace Gruden. If a loudmouth washed up head coach can’t replace another one, I’m at a loss.

Ryan is like Gruden in that he’s a master at one side of the ball and he’s bounced between teams in the NFL as a head coach. He’s done a quality job working on the NFL set shows but his color commentary debut with Beth Mowins was atrocious.

In case you forgot what happened with Ryan and even want a look back at Sergio Dipp, here’s what went down in week one.

Certainly, there’s some room for polishing from Ryan, but he would certainly check a majority of the boxes for what ESPN wants next to McDonough.
