Rex Ryan calls Tua Tagovailoa's concussion evaluation an 'epic fail'
USA TODAY Sports investigates where diversity is lacking in NFL coaching staff across the league, and why it matters.The NFL and NFLPA's investigation into the handling of Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa’s concussion evaluation is ongoing, but current and former head coaches are sounding off on the situation.
Appearing on ESPN’s Sunday NFL Countdown, former New York Jets and Buffalo Bills coach Rex Ryan voiced his frustration with the controversial decision to bring Tagovailoa back into the Week 3 game against the Buffalo Bills after his head slammed into the ground and the quarterback got up wobbly before stumbling.
“You got to protect the player from himself. I had a simple philosophy as a coach, I treated everyone of my players like they were my son," Ryan said Sunday. "That’s all you have to do. I could tell you this, would you put your son back in that game when you saw it?"This is clearly from head trauma. That’s it, a concussion,” he said. “I know what it looks like. We all know what it looks like. My answer is this, no way in hell I put my son back in that game. No way in hell.
