Rex Ryan, former head coach of the New York Jets, will spend the next season in the AFC East. According to Adam Schefter, he has agreed to become the next head coach of the Buffalo Bills:
Just a couple more I's to dot and T's to cross, but Rex Ryan now expected to be the next Buffalo Bills HC. First domino falls!

In six years with the New York Jets, Ryan went 46-50. He reached the AFC Championship Game in his first two seasons, but failed to reach the playoffs altogether in his last four. This year, the Jets finished with a 4-12 record, which caused the team to relieve Ryan of his duties.
Ryan, however, will stay in the AFC East to fill Buffalo's vacant head coaching position, created after Doug Marrone resigned. The Bills went 9-7 in 2014 and had one of the top defenses in the NFL, ranking 4th in points per game (18.1)
