Well now, that’s nice to know. How about after all of his “championships” he just go away and spare us all.
He didn’t have any better sense than to actually say that if he had been the coach of the Chargers a few years ago, he’d have won a couple of championships.
Good grief. It doesn’t get any better than that. He’s working hard on his comedy act.
This offseason he should have lapband surgery on his mouth.

Since he’s mostly known for drawing attention to himself through stupid statements and half-truths perhaps he has a future with ESPN’s First Take.

His players never really backed up his mouth. Players normally come to the rescue of a coach that they really respect. His players retreated.

He quit on the Jets. I didn’t believe my buddy, when he told me Rex wants to get fired, but after watching the ineptitude with his QBs, I had to admit, Rex quit . Let him go. We need a man to coach the Jets, not a mouth.

Ryan should stay. They need to start over at QB and fire the GM. Ryan brings an attitude to the team. He needs better players to work with. The trade for Tebow then never play him then they resign Braylon Edwards after he calls them idiots. I say the man making those personnel decisions is an idiot and needs to get fired.

With Mr. T and Mangini, Rex had a good team, OC established and with Mark Sanchez added, destroyed this team over the last 4 years, creating and approving this circus. Rex lies and needs to be fired now, or 2013 will lose more if the fan base.

“The Jets were the first professional team my dad ever coached, eight years. This was my team growing up. The fans, I identify with that because I was one of them also. Now I’m the head coach of their football team, too.

Rexy theres plenty of room for the 46 D in Chicago so if Woody gives yah the boot the come be our DC on the NEW coaching staff (fingers crossed) and recreate the defense your father started!

I have to laugh as the press continues to go with this story. It’s been denied by everyone except the “unnamed sources” but the “psycho-analytical” reporter seems to have it all figured out. Will these idiots in the press stop at nothing to sell their papers? It would be nice to at least include a little bit of truth in their reporting instead of making the entire story fiction.

Yea a coach who got his team to back to back AFC champ games is such a joke..maybe the city he is in is a joke ever think of that? Nope, he is an easy target for you computer chair QBs. Such touch guys. Lets see you head coach a professional football team.. o thats right, you are just an innocent bi-standers watching on tv because you gave up on your dreams by the age of 25, go back to Buffalo Wild Wings and pretend you know football. No I dont think Ryan is a GREAT coach, btw.

The Jets have become such a joke in two short years. One minute Ryan wants to coach them 15 years and the next he’s ready for espn.

” Ryan reportedly would prefer getting fired to having to go through another year with the same offensive personnel and assistant coaches in place, and according to ESPN”

I love this statement. So he doesn’t like the assistant coaches that HE hired. He doesn’t like the personnel HE helped pick. Brilliant.

Provided that the representations of the “sources” are true, then I would have a couple of problems with it.

If Rex is dissatisfied as the Jets HC, then he should just resign — like all of us have to do if we held similar sentiments about our job. It’s lame that Rex is brewing up another poo-storm, but still trying to collect his millions for doing nothing — while placing blame on everyone but himself.

Also, “Wrecks” is charming — but his bravado proved to be that of a paper tiger. All bluster – no bite. Every year, he “guaranteed” a Super Bowl Title, or that his team was the most talented it had ever been or whatever. Anyone remember his glowing performance evaluations concerning his 1st round pick in the 2009 draft (drafted 5th overall)? Ryan was so giddy that he apparently dubbed this player, “The Sanchise.”

And year after year, his childish chatter proved to be “misguided at best.”

Wrecks, if you want out — don’t let the door hit your backside on the way through the door.

Maybe he should do videos… Who can come up with the best porn name? My suggestion is he can be an English Podiatrist Dr. Craven Moretoes or Dr. Todd Toenibbler

Well, that’s not much better for the fans.

I’d rather have him as the Jets HC then yapping after every play.

First, he would have to find someone willing to hire him. Second, he is a big liability, I’m not sure many Television stations would want to risk millions of dollars charged to them by the FCC for Ryan’s foul mouth slip ups, hand gestures or disrespectful slander. Third… who wants to hear what Rex Ryan has to say? Maybe his father Buddy or twin brother Rob, but not Rex. He just isn’t that appealing. Who knows though, maybe the Nation would tune in to see him bumble and stumble his way through an hour episode? I guess we’ll find out sooner rather than later.

He’s not a talker, he’s a loudmouth. Loudmouths don’t make good announcers, they’re the most annoying ones…(Michael Irvin, Shannon Sharpe, etc) Good talkers like Steve Young (although still annoying) are much better broadcasters…there’s a big difference IMO

I’m a Packer fan and our loudmouth is obviously Finley, and the last place I’d want him is in the announcing booth…he’d just break all the mics from dropping them anyway, total liability.

For people wondering, it is believed by a lot of people that Jets’ DC Mike Pettine is the source of leaks. He is apparently close with Manish Mehta, the beatwriter who reports most of the leaks, and he’s had to be regulated by the Jets (they gave him a phone to use so that it could be monitored) because of suspicions like this in the past.

Ya know, I don’t know if I could handle three hours, or an even five minutes, of Rex’s annoying catch-phrase: “Ya know, ya know, ya know, ya know, ya know…”
Ya know?

If you asked me 3 years ago how I would feel if Rex and Sanchez would be on the burner now I would be very happy. But now that its happening I’m kinda going to miss having someone to hate and 2 guaranteed wins a year. Join me in the fight to keep Rex, Sanchez, and Tannenbaum especially.

He is good tv personality for TMZ not a football. His talks are bravado than substance.

How come any old player or coach can get a job on TV. Some are really good but others are just terrible like Donvan McNabb. Nobody want’s to hear what this guy has to say, or Matt Millen, or Mike Martz. Troy Aikmen, Brian Billick, Collinsworth and a few others are actually good at it.

I think Rex would make a great broadcaster.

1. He knows a lot more about the game than any of us do.

2. He’s funny & quick witted.

3. He’s not afraid to “tell it like it is.”

4. There’s always the outside chance that he’ll flip out and strangle Skip Bayless.

The fact that his locker room leaks to the media is a sign he’s a poor leader.

He’s part of those leaks. Patriots fans hope he stays.

Just like Matt Millen. This would be a big no-go. I wouldn’t watch or listen to him for a second. Get him to a buffet line somewhere and call it a day. The guy’s a walking, talking disaster.
