Buffalo Bills head coach Rex Ryan was brought up on football. He spent 22 years as an assistant coach, seven years as a head coach, and is the son of former head coach and defensive guru Buddy Ryan.

Based on that last accolade alone, football should run through Ryan’s veins.

Unfortunately, his career win percentage would state otherwise. As head coach, Ryan’s record currently stands at 58-60 including playoff games. That’s a career win percentage of .492

With numbers like those, he’s not exactly the poster child of winning, but nonetheless he is a head coach.

Rex Ryan officially bridged the gap from coaches understudy to man-in-charge during the 2009 NFL season, but after his back-to-back AFC Championship appearances with the New York Jets, it’s been a bit of a downhill spiral.

A new career in Buffalo was supposed to be his fresh start, but after a series of bad moves and missteps that have affected more than just his coaching staff, he could be on his way out.

Here are five reasons why Rex Ryan should be fired immediately.
