New York Jets coach Rex Ryan doesn't shy away from high expectations. And the swaggering Jets coach sticks to his guns in a video promoting the Jets' pending "Hard Knocks" series on HBO, according to the Wall Street Journal.

As in Super Bowl big at the Dallas Cowboys' shiny new stadium to cap the season. "I haven't seen that Taj Mahal in Dallas yet, but hopefully before this season is over we'll be there," Ryan said. After a big offseason filled with new acquisitions, it will be up to Ryan to make the team gel together. Source: National Football Post
