Jets coach Rex Ryan's reputation has taken a hit during the past two seasons but his confidence is still intact. "I'm a hell of a lot better football coach than I'm given credit for," Ryan said to Kimberley Martin Newsday, minutes after the team concluded its final mandatory minicamp practice Thursday afternoon. "I don't care," he added with a smile. "I don't need the credit. But I can tell you one thing, when it's said and done, they'll look back and say, 'Oh man, this dude can coach his butt off.' And you know what? It's true. And I'll let the people that know best talk on my behalf about the kind of coach I am. "I don't have to brag, even though statistically, I can brag about anything I've ever done defensively." Ryan has no doubt Jets fans will look back fondly on the Rex Ryan Era when all is said and done. "They'll say, 'He's a hell of a football coach, and you know what? He had more passion than anybody who's ever coached here before.' Eventually that's what's going to be said about me," Ryan said. "And hopefully it's not for another 15 years." Source: The Redzone
He needs to go coach the Jaguars. They never get any media attention, and that's exactly what he needs. I liked Rex, until it became evident that he couldn't shut his yap. If you are going to babble as much as him, you have to win
I don't get why people look so negatively at professional figures (coaches, athletes, commentators, etc) having personalities. They're people too.
hes really a great coach, hes a rod head but i would be too, especially to the media. That being said, its a shame he put all his eggs in the sanchez basket, that will likely do him in with the jets
