Should Rex Ryan Appear on NBC's "The Biggest Loser" Weight-Loss Reality Show? Fan's View

NBC's popular weight-loss reality TV series "The Biggest Loser" is hitting the road to find new contestants for Season 14, and I believe New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan would be a great fit for the show.

Ryan, 49, already dropped 90 pounds from his hefty 350-pound frame since undergoing lap-band surgery at NYU Medical Center in March of 2010, but there's plenty more fat left for him to drop.

Working out with world-renowned trainer Bob Harper would push Ryan to new levels in his weight-loss diet and exercise routine, as he's helped hundreds of people successfully lose weight.

According to an LATimes.com report, "Season 14 is scheduled to start airing in January 2013. Casting producers say they are looking for 'charismatic individuals' who are at least 18 years old, are at least 85 pounds overweight and would like a sweet shot at a grand prize of $250,000 for the person who loses the largest percentage of his or her body weight."

Rex Ryan is a charismatic individual who is at least 18 and still 85 pounds overweight. He fits every aspect of the description of contestants they are looking for.

It would be a win-win for all parties involved.

For the coach, it would be a chance for him to get in the best shape of his life, get healthy and feel great.

New York Jets fans need Ryan at the helm for the long-term, so we want him to think about staying healthy.

His large frame is fine for now, but you don't want to be carrying around 350 pounds as you approach your mid-50s and early-60s. That's just asking for a heart attack.

As for "The Biggest Loser," bringing Ryan on board would help to spruce up a stale format. We've already seen him shine bright on reality shows, as his brash personality delighted audiences nationwide when he appeared on HBO's "Hard Knocks."
