What we’re scoring
Earlier literal open-ended career-return assertion. Pending while future coaching remains possible; review checkpoint is not an invented expiration date. Root must confirm scope against original discussion.
The ruling
The Jets interviewed Ryan for their head-coaching vacancy in January 2025. An interview does not establish a coaching return or prove that a future return is impossible.

2030 is a review reminder, not a stated prediction deadline. Preserve never-again wording without manufacturing a won result from present employment.

No finite evaluation horizon is supplied for never coaching again. Current absence from a coaching job does not prove the lifelong claim; no final verdict assigned.
