For the second time since 2015, Rex Ryan is out of a coaching job. He was fired by the Buffalo Bills before their season finale against the New York Jets, the team that let him go just two years before.
Ryan has been quiet about the whole situation – which was undeniably messy – steering clear of the media and opting not to comment on his exit from Buffalo.
But he did open up on Monday in an interview with Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News. Ryan isn’t bitter about being fired by the Bills, and he has 15 million reasons not to be.
“I’m really not that bitter, and maybe that $15 million is one of the reasons,” Ryan said. “I’m not bitter, man. … Yeah, I’m hurt. I was hurt by it. There’s no question. But bitter ain’t how I feel. I’m like, ‘Shoot, if they never wanted me here, then fine. I ain’t here. I’m not your coach anymore. Fine and dandy.’”
While he’s not bitter, Ryan still doesn’t wish the Bills well in the future — something he does for the Jets.
“I don’t wish them bad will,” Ryan said. “I don’t. But I don’t wish them luck, either. I’ll be honest: I don’t wish them good luck. I don’t wish them bad luck. I just don’t wish them luck. I wish the Jets luck.”
After he was fired by the Bills, Ryan left the team’s facility in his custom truck, which was plastered with the team’s’ logo and color scheme. It didn’t take long for him to switch up his ride, changing Bills logos for Clemson paw prints and helmets.
” … Let me tell you, I stripped that damn truck the day I got fired,” Ryan said. “[Expletive] you guys.”
