Watch Jets Coach Rex Ryan run with the bulls in Spain [Video]

New York Jets Coach Rex Ryan ran with the bulls -- or at least he ran with them part of the way before having to climb out of the way of one particularly speedy beast in Pamplona, Spain, this week.

That’s not to knock Ryan at all. It takes a lot of guts to be one of the thousands of thrill seekers to take part in the series of 900-yard dashes over two days as part of the annual San Fermin Festival.

And Ryan was smart enough to know he wasn’t going to match the hoofspeed of a charging bull headed in his direction. So he and several others made the wise choice of climbing a barricade and letting the animal pass by.

Ryan can be seen in a video (above, first posted by Deadspin), first shouting, “Hold on,” as he climbs and then appearing to take what could be a nasty spill off the structure, luckily to the side away from the rampaging beasts.

There were no gorings, and just six people treated for injuries.

Philadelphia Eagles Coach Chip Kelly, then coach at Oregon, ran with the bulls last year.
