Rex Ryan has gotten into another toe jam.
The former Jets head coach – who was outed years ago for a kinky foot fetish – allegedly ran over two people’s feet on a busy Nashville street with his pick-up and then fled the scene.
Ryan was busted Wednesday for the sole-crushing Nov. 5 incident, which began when he was making a right turn on the Music City’s famed Broadway and plowed into the victims, who had the walk sign, cops said.

In addition to rolling over the pedestrians’ feet, he also struck one in the leg, before cruising away, according to the MNPD.
Ryan was then confronted by the alleged victims when he stopped at a red light further down the road. The former NFL sideline manager stepped out of his truck, argued with them, got back in and drove away, the MNPD said the victims told them.
Warrants for Ryan’s arrest were later issued, and on Wednesday morning, he turned himself into authorities.
Ryan was thrown behind bars but ultimately released on $6,000 bond, according to the MNPD.
While at the station, he posed for a mugshot and looked stern in the photo.
Ryan is now facing six misdemeanor charges — two counts of leaving the scene of an accident, two counts of failure to give information/render aid, and two counts of failure to obey a traffic control signal.


The 63-year-old has hired criminal defense attorney David Raybin to represent him in the case. During a phone call with the California Post on Wednesday afternoon, the lawyer said his client was “cooperating” with law enforcement.
“The only thing I can tell you right now is I just began representation this morning,” Raybin said.
“I can confirm that I’m representing him, and we are cooperating with the investigation. But I do not have any facts yet from the police side, so we’re cooperating, we’re trying to get that information today but because of the holiday, I don’t have it. So I don’t have any further statement. OK? Thank you.”

The matter comes roughly 16 years after Ryan and his affinity for feet first made headlines during his time as Jets coach.
Ryan’s alleged proclivities became national news in 2010 when he was linked to several foot-fetish dating sites with personal profile information very similar to that of the coach’s wife.
Videos posted on the sports gossip site Deadspin.com also showed what appeared to be his wife, Michelle, displaying her feet for a cameraman who sounded like the ex-Jets coach.
The website said at the time that the videos were the same ones posted on YouTube by a user using the moniker “ihaveprettyfeet.”

Ryan, who was in his second season in New York, was grilled on the revelations by the press at the time.
“Obviously, I knew these questions were coming,” a Ryan told reporters at a 2010 press conference after struggling for a few seconds to get the words out. “But this is a personal matter and I’m not going to discuss it.”
He also added: “My wife’s beautiful,” Ryan said. “We’ve been married for 23 years. She’s awesome.”
His players at the time backed him.
“Foot fetish? Whatever,” said Darrelle Revis. “At the end of the day, that’s his wife and he can do whatever he wants with his wife. It’s not like he’s out committing adultery or anything negative.”

Ryan became the head coach of the Jets in 2009 after years of success as the Ravens’ defensive coordinator.
He managed New York until 2014, piling up a 61-66 record during his six seasons in the Big Apple.
He went on to coach the Bills for two seasons, before he signed on to be an analyst for ESPN in 2017.
Ryan has often brought up his foot fetish in a playful manner while on the network’s airwaves. In 2019, while he and his colleagues were discussing a player’s toenails, Ryan joked, “Let’s not talk about feet.”

In 2021, during a conversation about an Aaron Rodgers toe injury, Ryan hilariously stated, “I’m a toe expert.”
In 2023, he also cracked a toe joke while making a comment on a key Kadarius Toney offsides call.
While not foot-related, Ryan recently garnered attention for the way he ripped Raiders star Ashton Jeanty during a Nov. 1 appearance on “Sunday NFL Countdown.”
After Jeanty said the Jets’ defense had a few players who “don’t really want to tackle,” Ryan called the Las Vegas running back “soft as Charmin.”
“You’re about the worst draft pick in the last 20 years, I think, as a running back,” he added. “You stink. You’re averaging 3.1 yards per carry.”
ESPN said in a statement on Wednesday that it was “aware” of Ryan’s arrest. The network also said it had been “in touch with Rex” over the situation.
Ryan, meanwhile, has yet to publicly address the incident.
Court records show he’s due for his first hearing in the case on Dec. 18.
