ORCHARD PARK — The Buffalo Bills have fired Head Coach Rex Ryan.
Ryan, who guaranteed a playoff appearance by the Bills, served as head coach for one game shy of two seasons. The Bills haven’t made the playoffs in 17 years.

Ryan’s brother Rob has also been let go from the organization.
UPDATE: (12:43 p.m.) — Bills owner Terry Pegula said he and Ryan mutually agreed that it was time to part ways. Pegula said, “These decisions are never easy. I want to take this opportunity to thank Rex for all his efforts and wish him all the best moving forward.”
Pegula also said he and his wife Kim “and our entire Bills organization share in the same disappointment and frustration as our fans, but we remain committed to our goal of bringing a championship to Western New York.”
