Twitter Had Some Jokes About the Firing of Buffalo Bills Coach Rex Ryan

The Buffalo Bills fired coach Rex Ryan on Tuesday — after going 15-16 over two seasons steering the ship in Orchard Park.

It was something of a blow to the Twitter-verse, as Ryan has been a favorite of many in social media ever since his memorable turn in Hard Knocks, back when he was coach of the Jets.

Nevertheless, Twitter came through with a few quality jokes after the news came down. Here’s just a small sampling:

Classy move by the Bills to let Rex Ryan go while he can still get a cabinet position.

Rex Ryan has been fired after going 15-16 over two seasons in Buffalo. If someone had that record in Cleveland, they’d build him a statue.
