Comments on: Rex says if Chargers had hired him in 2007, he’d have a couple rings

A couple things:

1. Norv Turner does in fact suck. Not 0-16 suck, but 8-8 suck, consistently. A good coach WOULD have won something with the talent he’s had.
2. Rex Ryan isn’t that much better than Turner. I highly doubt he would have won any rings had SD picked him instead.
3. This comment was obviously intended to be a dig at the San Diego organization that passed him up, not at Norv. Unfortunately for Rex, the way he phrased it implicated Norv as much as the rest of the staff.

Rex just needs to stop talking so much and focus on playing football.

Rex is a tool, all bark, no bite. But I am very happy AJ smith is still running the chargers, now I Know they will NEVER win a super bowl!

To Jetsblogger,

I don’t know if you realize, but people are tired of his act. I don’t know if you also notice, but Rex doesn’t have the same team. If you don’t have the same cards, you can’t play the game the same. He was not only dissing Turner, he was dissing his own team. What kind of coach does that?

At this point, Rex is background noise.

Man Up Rex…We all know the ONLY rings in your future are those on the Mrs. big toe and the grungy one around the tub! Subsequently, the Ravens will be your ONLY connection to the SB and terribly slight at that. Dream On!!!

Maybe if Rex Ryan was as worried about why his top 5 rushing attack last year turning into a joke, and why his defense, that is as “loaded” as any in the league, is underperforming, and why his offensive line can’t seem to block for his quarterback that is in desperate need of coaching just to be average imo, as he is about other coaches on other teams that he still feels slighted by years later and screaming, “GET IN MY BELLY!”, perhaps he would have a ring instead of 2 failed conference championships.

Rex Ryan shut up already, just shut up. You don’t have close to enough wins to back up your big mouth. Classless to throw Turner under the bus for another 2 seconds of fame.

Rex plays the media like a fiddle and you all bite line, hook, and sinker. Guess what everyone will be talking about this week? This stupid comment that he made. Guess what it takes the focus away from? A sputtering offense and a horrendous run-defense.
If you ask me, this is a planned effort on his end to avoid his players getting hassled all week about the problems going on. He did it last year, making the Colts game a “Peyton vs Rex” thing AND IT WORKED.
Rex could give 2 sh*ts about what people think about him, and he is doing this to let his players focus on the game plan and get the media away from them.
Then most of you start the “he should shut his fat mouth” and create a buzz around the issue. And guess what? It becomes news! To the next moron that comments “why is this news?”, it is because of people like you that get so angry about Rex running his mouth that you go online and post about it thus giving it more attention.

If Rex Ryan isn’t careful he’ll wind up in the same category as Jerry Glanville: flashy, loud, and winless in late January/early February.

Would mrs Rex Ryan get rings for her little piggies too?

Rex Ryan needs to shut his pie hole. I don’t see any rings on his fingers with the Jets, maybe he should be concentrating on that.

This guy never stops. I am pretty sure that even some of the most diehard Jet fans are getting tired of this guy & his mouth. Two years ago the guy was worshiped by the NY media. Now he has become the butt-end of media jokes every other day. Even Newsday, a Long Island newspaper that worships the Jets, has begun to publish stories on this guy’s stupidity. It’s sad.

as a jets fan when rex took over i thought that Rex would leave the Jets 1 of 2 ways.
1. Winning multiple championships and going out on his own terms many years from now.
2. A flaming ball spiraling out of control after a few seasons..
His style doesn’t really allow for other options.
Now, I’ve supported him in almost every step but at some time “being yourself” has to include being a grownup. Saying what he says insults norv turner. I’m ok with that. The guy is a joke. But it also says his team isn’t as good because he hasn’t won a championship when he would have with the chargers. What does that do to an already fractured locker room? Nice move.

cytofed, ya gotta remember at the time Freeman was a”raw athlete” and “inaccurate”. The draft analysts crack me up, it’s like they never watched Freeman play ball. He has been the best QB from that draft class.

Memo to Rex:

Try worrying about the Super Bowls you’re not winning with the Jets, before you start trashing another coach by pointing out that you would have won Super Bowls there when he didn’t.

Rex Ryan, king of “Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda Super Bowls”.

I don’t get why everyone hates on Rex so much. Sure he talks crap and says a lot of BS but so do most of us football fans. I mean who would you rather hang out with and drink a beer with in real life? Rex or Norv (or the majority of other coaches in the league for that matter)? The guy speaks his mind and makes things interesting compared to the boring drivel coming out of most coaches mouths. And as a Charger fan I would take Rex over Norv in a heart beat.

Norv doesn’t get players fired up and they seem content to barely beat below average teams. IMO to be a great head coach you either have to be incredibly good/smart at what you do, like Belichick, or be able to motivate players through your own confidence and attitude, like Rex can usually do, and a lot of head coaches don’t have much of either like Norv and should have stayed coordinators where they don their best work.

Gotta love Rex, that’s a very smart way of saying my QB sucks! Had they not traded up for MS6 they would have end up with Josh Freeman? Maybe he should have said this instead.

Rex has one ring as an assistant with the Ravens. Norv has two as an assistant with the Cowboys. Both good on their sides of the ball, neither complete head coaches. Sooner or later the Jets players are gonna get sick of this guys lip.

As a Pats fan, I thought this guy was a nice balance to Belichick. I appreciate Belichick’s style more and more the more I hear this buffoon.

He should’ve been a Steeler…then he’d have 6 SB rings.

Isn’t he also kind of implying that the Chargers have been better than the Jets the last few years?

By: simalex

simalex — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 00:01:11 +0000

He’s half-right: norv turner has underachieved with that team. The part he’s wrong about is the whole idea that _he_ would have been the one to lead them to the promised land… nope.
