Buffalo shows Rex the exit

The Buffalo Bills announced late Tuesday that coach Rex Ryan and assistant head coach Rob Ryan, his twin brother, have been fired.

Offensive coordinator Anthony Lynn, who replaced Greg Roman in Week 3, will take over as the interim coach of the Bills (7-8), the NFL team said.

Buffalo wraps up this campaign on Sunday with a road game against Rex Ryan’s former club, the New York Jets (4-11).

The Bills have dropped six of their last nine games and have been eliminated from playoff contention for the 17th straight season. A 34-31 overtime loss to the Miami Dolphins on Saturday officially extended the longest active postseason drought in North American sports.

Rex Ryan posted a 15-16 mark in his two seasons as Buffalo’s head coach and had three seasons remaining on the five-year contract he signed with the Bills.

The 54-year-old Ryan, a former defensive coordinator with the Baltimore Ravens, inherited Buffalo’s fourth-ranked defense upon joining the team, but the Bills have seen that ranking plummet to 19th this season.

The son of late NFL coach Buddy Ryan, Rex Ryan owns a 61-66 overall mark in eight years as a head coach, including four consecutive non-winning seasons before being fired by the Jets following the 2014 campaign after reaching the playoffs his first two years in New York.
