Ryan has a 9-2 record as the New York Jets head coach in 2010-2011. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.204.69.227 ( talk) 01:42, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
Given Ryan's obesity in light of his job as a coach of fit athletes, it might be worthwhile to give his height and approximate weight in the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.44.147.74 ( talk) 04:35, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
the style of this article is unusual for Wikipedia, but is very similar to the style used in official NFL bios. Specifically, the accomplishments seperated by "...", the trivial nature of some of the personal stuff (honorary board of the maryland special olympics?). I'm not a regular wikipedia editor, just thought i'd point this out because it could cause trouble and seems pretty unprofessional.

I am a regular Wikipedia editor, and I agree with above. This article needs major editing. Mwinog2777 ( talk) 16:05, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
A 9-7 record translates to a winning percentage of 563, not 562. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.70.139.60 ( talk) 16:23, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
There is a picture of Rex Ryan in this article that would make more sense moved to the infobox. 216.163.255.1 ( talk) 14:17, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

template. I think it would be more appropriate for the infobox to use a photo of his head and shoulders (a bust portrait), perhaps a crop of the photo mentioned above. —

In hindsight, it's a good thing I wasn't at that game the other night. Did you get a picture of Rex? -- Muboshgu ( talk) 21:48, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

Under coaching career it shows that Rex Ryan was the defensive coordinator at Cincinnati and Oklahoma State (last words of the paragraph). This should be changed to The University of Oklahoma. He was not a coach at Oklahoma State.

Done You're right. That was a mistake I've corrected. Thanks for bringing it to our attention. -- Muboshgu ( talk) 21:46, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
There's been a lot of talk regarding his foot fixation. Shouldn't it be mentioned here?

According to ESPN:
To be honest, and I get it, I know you need to ask and all that stuff," Ryan told reporters when asked if the situation could snowball into a distraction. "But it's a personal matter and I'm really not going to discuss it, OK?"
Ryan said it was between him and his wife and he would not elaborate beyond that.

That being said, is it any less news-worthy than him being over weight or having a G-B operation? 69.122.132.127 ( talk) 00:20, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

It needs to say at the beginning that Rex Ryan's brother, Rob Ryan, is the defensive coordinator for the Dallas Cowboys, not the Cleveland Browns.
Actual sentence: He is the son of former Philadelphia Eagles and Arizona Cardinals head coach Buddy Ryan and is the twin brother of Rob Ryan, defensive coordinator for the Dallas Cowboys.
Article says Rex Ryan "developed" ground and pound. Uh, WTF? Ryan is far from the first coach to use this strategy in the NFL. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.221.64.102 ( talk) 12:29, 3 August 2011 (UTC)

I appreciate your review and would welcome any additional feedback you may have! In regards to his switching around between college and the NFL, I felt it was necessary so the reader is not left to wonder where these time gaps are in their respective sections. I'd be happy to make changes if there are any ideas/suggestions. Thanks again! -- The Writer 2.0 Talk 20:15, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
I forget, but was this the image of Ryan as a Jet that was deleted from Commons as a copyvio? I don't want to bother with it if it was. – Muboshgu ( talk) 16:58, 28 October 2011 (UTC)
I have done some research on this and I do not believe that Rex Ryan, or his brother Rob, actually ever played in a varsity college game. If they did, it was only for the 1981 season and I can't find any career stats on either twin. This is a quote from the Southwestern Oklahoma State University athletics web site:
"Both Rex and Rob quit playing football at SWOSU after the 1982 season. Together they transferred to Oklahoma State University before eventually returning to SWOSU and completing course work for their bachelor's degree in physical education in 1987." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.6.105.32 ( talk) 19:01, 28 December 2012 (UTC)
Since undergoing lap band surgery, as the article points out, Ryan has lost so much weight that the lead photo is no longer an accurate depiction of him. There are many photos around the web that show his weight loss, such as this one: [2]. Please consider replacing the "fat" pic of him. Bucinka ( talk) 20:51, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

The last sentence in the third paragraph needs to be corrected for grammar. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.35.101.100 ( talk) 15:54, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
According to this article, Rex was actually born in Buffalo while father Buddy Ryan was an assistant coach at the University at Buffalo. Further, I followed the links in this article and don't see any confirmation in thos links that he was born in Oklahoma. So which is accurate?
