Totally agree . I just hope he doesn't chew gum cause that seems to piss a lot of people off around here!!!! :lol:
Do you know what 3 day old splooge smells like? Cup your hand in front of your mouth and nose and exhale.
Come on bro. Mike T and Woody put out the phrase "leave no stone turned" while looking for talent. You may or may not like Gruden but the guy has coached and won in the NFL. That to me signifies "talent". Same for Shanahan, same for Cowher. Cowher said no. Shanahan wants full control of an organization. Woody won't have that. NO match there. Gruden - Recently available. Definitely not like Mangini. Thought he was worth an interview. I'm good with Ryan and am interested in his staff and more so, player personnel choices.
his father was a coach on our super bowl team. buddy also said that coaching the jets was always his dream job. he got passed over by hess for the likes of charley winner, coslet, walton, kotite, etc. no wonder belichek bolted and made that comment about nobody ever talked more and won less than steve gutman. rex learned from his dad, just like belichek did.
I'm with you. I agree that Mangini had to go. Francessa puts it relatively simply. Three teams collapsed and missed the playoffs. Two of them fired Superbowl winning coaches in Tampa and Denver, so the third collapsing team, the Jets, had to fire their non-SB winning coach. I like Ryan, but why not at least investigate Gruden? We just went through two first time HCs. I know Ryan may turn out great, and again I'm pretty happy that's the direction they took. But I would have been even happier with a veteran head coach who's won before. Like Gruden.
Great to see that maybe, finally, Tannenbaum and Johnson get it. "When they fired Eric Mangini three weeks ago, owner Woody Johnson and GM Mike Tannenbaum didn't say much about the type of coach they wanted for the Jets. Now it's clear. Their unspoken quest was to find the anti-Mangini, a charismatic and fiery leader to change the stuffy, paranoid culture that permeated the organization. In other words, they wanted a player's coach, someone who could make football fun again. It led them to Rex Ryan, whose hiring became official Monday after a brief but torrid courtship. Explaining the decision, Tannenbaum said in a statement he was looking for "a passionate leader." Johnson echoed that sentiment, saying that Ryan "will bring an aggressive, physical brand of football that will captivate our fans and ignite their passion." "Make no mistake, this was a passion play. Mangini was many things - a lot of them positive - but his stoic, disciplinarian approach wore thin among many in the organization. "It was very rigid, very dark around there," one player, requesting anonymity, said after hearing the Ryan news. "Everybody was always afraid of messing up. It was very tense and uptight. No one could relax and have fun. Hopefully, (Ryan) will bring a player's-coach mentality. It'll be a welcome change." http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/f...vens_d_coordinator_rex_ryan_agrees_to_-5.html
Haha..sounds like Buddy is still Buddy. "Even before he's introduced as the next New York Jets head coach and begins to assemble his staff, Rex Ryan has an influential assistant. "We talk football all the time," Ryan's famous father, Buddy Ryan, said Monday. Buddy Ryan was entertaining at his farmhouse in Shelbyville, Ky., and couldn't stay on the line. But the conversation lasted long enough for a proud father to dote on his son, who left the Baltimore Ravens to sign a four-year contract earlier in the day. "He should've been a head coach in the league before this," Buddy Ryan said. "He'll be ready. "I'm excited about it, especially with the Jets. That's my first team."" http://myespn.go.com/blogs/afceast/0-4-774/Buddy-Ryan-says-it-s-about-time-Rex-got-his-shot.html And Rex is definitely his father's son. How refreshing ""The numbers say I've done a decent job," Ryan said recently. "If a team wants to stop somebody, all you have to do is look at my track record. If we don't get them stopped in the first year, it will probably be the first time we don't get them stopped in my career, going back through college, whatever. "I'll get my time, and whoever gets me will get a guy who is a real football coach and not a pretender." http://www.newyorkjets.com/news/articles/show/2824-buddy-s-sons-spurned-food-biz-for-football
