Rex Ryan and his twin brother Rob were involved in a physical altercation at a Margaritaville restaurant several months ago, and the man on the other end of the scuffle wanted the former NFL coaches to be charged with assault. That is reportedly not going to happen.
A Nashville police spokesperson told TMZ that the district attorney has decided to close the case rather than moving forward with assault charges.
It was unclear exactly why the June altercation began, but a video appeared to show that Rob got physical with a fellow Margaritaville patron and Rex spilled a drink on the man. Rex stood up to confront the man, and it looked like he spilled the drink after someone bumped his arm. An eyewitness had told Larry Brown Sports that someone threw a drink on Rex, but there was nothing in the footage that was made public that showed that happening.
Neither Ryan brother is coaching in the NFL this season. Rex has been working as an analyst at ESPN.
