Former Bills HC Rex Ryan Arrested on Wednesday in Nashville

Former Buffalo Bills head coach Rex Ryan has been arrested after allegedly hitting two people with his pickup truck. 

The Tennessean reported on Wednesday morning that the 63-year-old turned himself into Nashville police after a warrant for his arrest was issued. 

According to the accusations, Ryan allegedly ran of the feet of two people while driving in Nashville. Per the police report, Ryan was driving in Nashville just before midnight on November 5. While making a right turn, he ran over the feet of two people who were walking in the street.

Ryan, according to the accusers, kept driving. They were able to catch up to him at a red light. Once they caught up, Ryan reportedly got out of his truck and an argument ensued.

Eventually, Ryan returned to his truck and drove away without giving the alleged victims any information. The two individuals reported Ryan and his vehicle to the police, and the Nashville police department eventually issued the warrant.

Ryan has been charged with two counts of leaving the scene of an accident, two counts of failing to give information or render aid, and two counts of failing to obey traffic signals. 

Bond was set at $6,000. 

Ryan, nor his employer ESPN, have commented on the arrest or the allegations as of publication.

Ryan was head coach of the Bills for nearly two seasons. He was hired in January 2015, signing a five-year contract with Buffalo. 

His first season, Buffalo finished with an 8-8 record and failed to make the playoffs for the 16th-straight year. That was followed up by a tumultuous second season. The team started 0-2 and began firing staff, including offensive coordinator Greg Roman. 

Later that year, the Bills would fall to 7-8 after losing in overtime to the Miami Dolphins on Christmas Eve. Ryan would be let go three days later, ending his time in Buffalo with a 15-16 record.

It was his last head-coaching job in the NFL. Since then, he's been an analyst for ESPN. He's been featured on multiple ESPN broadcasts, including its Get Up morning show and Sunday NFL Countdown.

Prior to Buffalo, Ryan was head coach of the New York Jets for six seasons, reaching the AFC Championship Game twice. Before getting his chance as a head coach, Ryan spent as an assistant coach both in college and the NFL, with stops with the Arizona Cardinals, Cincinnati Bearcats, Oklahoma Sooners, and Baltimore Ravens.
