Leave it to Rex Ryan to stick his foot in his mouth. Speaking to San Diego reporters on a conference call ahead of the Jets' Sunday home game against the Chargers, Ryan pontificated on how things would have been different had Bolts general manager A.J. Smith offered him the head-coaching job that went to Norv Turner in 2007. "Well, I think I would have had a couple rings," Ryan said Wednesday, according to the New York Daily News. "I'm telling you, those teams were loaded." Talk about killing two birds with one stone, with a single answer, Ryan managed to indirectly insult both Turner and his own GM, Mike Tannenbaum, very impressive. Ryan was worried enough about how his comments would be perceived that he called Turner to clarify himself, a Jets spokesman said Ryan's comments were intended as a compliment to the Chargers' operation. Turner initially took the high road, telling San Diego reporters "we've had enough coaching drama in the league the last few days," but he then doled out a surprising zinger at Ryan. "I hadn't seen his quote and I was a little bit surprised by the call," Turner said. "And then after I saw the quote, I didn't have a chance to ask him this, but I was wondering if he had those rings with the ones he's guaranteed the last couple of years." Source: NFL.com
yay, you'd win with the chargers. how bout you focus on the team you're acutally coaching that hasnt won a super bowl ?
Really. He hasn't won rod with the team he has after all the "guarantees.". He indirectly takes a shot at Tannenbaum...making it sound like he doesn't have enough talent on the Jets to win one. I think Marty Shottenheimer takes a shot in that comment...lol...probably makes Brian feel good about it. Not to mention you're giving the Chargers more incentive to win a game that they were most likely to win anyway...lol. Thumbs up Rex!!
I really need the Chargers to lose as far as the division goes, but I wouldn't particularly mind it if the Chargers kill the Jets.
Jets could be hecked if they don't win here against the Chargers...i think they have a bye and then the Bills and the Pats...
exactly, does this dolt forget that with all his dad's big mouth talk the eagles never even won a playoff game under buddy ? maybe you should just zip it rex and win something before you act like you invented the game.
