Rex Ryan to stay on as New York Jets head coach

New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan is told that he will still be in charge of the team next season despite missing out on the playoffs for a third year in a row.

New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan has been told that he will definitely still be in charge of the team next season.

Ryan's future had been the subject of intense speculation in recent weeks after it became apparent that the Jets would miss out on the NFL playoffs for a third year in a row.

The announcement was made following the Jets' 20-7 win over the Miami Dolphins yesterday, a result that left them 8-8 for the season and joint-second in the AFC East.

"I love being the head coach of the New York Jets, plain and simple. I never wanted to go out this way, another losing season or something like that," ESPN quotes Ryan as saying.

Ryan, who boldly predicted that he would win a Super Bowl with the Jets at the start of his tenure, reached the AFC Championship Game in his first two seasons, but has since not been able to return to the playoffs.
