A little more than a week removed from being fired from his head coaching position with the Jets, Rex Ryan has drawn considerable interest around the NFL and beyond.

The 26-year-old is charged with criminal mischief, invasion of privacy and unlawful weapons transport.
Doug Marrone interviewed for the Jets' head coaching vacancy on Saturday, but it's looking less and less likely that he'll be replacing Rex Ryan.

Owner Woody Johnson and consultants Ron Wolf and Charley Casserly are meeting with Marrone on Saturday.
Bills first-time general manager Doug Whaley is heading the team's coaching search. And Rex Ryan is on his radar, according to Tim Graham of the Buffalo News.
