“I also say this gentleman over here who was the coach of the New York Jets. It’s good to be with you,” Kraft said. “We always loved to see that smile, and then we did our best to take it away.”
Ryan replied: “You weren’t kicking anybody’s butt more than you did mine as a coach.”
“Yours was my favorite,” Kraft said.
Ryan went 3-9 against the Patriots during his time with the Jets. While with the Bills, he went 1-3.
The 63-year-old interviewed to return to his former Jets team ahead of the 2025 season, but they went with Aaron Glenn instead.
