Rex Ryan certain he won't be fired mid-season

New York Jets coach Rex Ryan has insisted that he is confident that he will not be fired before the end of the season after a disappointing year so far.

Despite Monday night's loss to the Buffalo Bills leaving New York at 2-9 for the season and bottom of the AFC East, Ryan is certain that he will remain in charge for the next five games.

"Unless it changes drastically, I will be the head coach here for the next five weeks," Ryan said, according to The New York Post.

"That's what I know and I'm going to go about my job like I always do."

While Ryan is prepared for a change at the end of the campaign, he insists that he had not had any conversations with owner Woody Johnson about his job.
