Your Thoughts On Rex Ryan (Clean Ones)

is an intelligent, well prepared, defensive minded head coach that does a great job at motivating his team, then diminishes them, himself and their results by unnecessarily channeling his inner bombast.

to shut the hell up and just let his team do the talking, he would be known as a very good coach. Instead, he tears down what he builds constantly.

He a good leader and a great defensive mind. Truthfully, if he was the Giants coach we’d all love him and the Jets fans would hate him.

Alot of hot air without much to back it up…..

At least Deon could back it up.

In all honesty, although I feel he talks too much, predicting a Super Bowl team before the season even starts he is a decent coach..However he irritates the teams he faces before their matches even get underway..and think whatever you want, even though opposing coaches with class will never admit it, you have to know it makes their skin crawl and they don’t like his rants..‘Hard Knocks’ where his team was featured gave a glimpse of his vulgar tirades..Running to the tunnel at halftime and dissing the fans with a vulgar remark that got captured on tape..There are all kinds of instances where he has had to either apologize or when beaten be humbled with respect for the opposing teams that beat his team..
Now having said that, I have no problem with…I in fact respect a coach who exudes so much confidence, but it should be channeled in a fashion that has a positive impact on his team and the organization…His team is taking on his personality..Confidence is a great thing to have when confined within the reality of what the team is capable of doing..Don’t make your team a target for other teams to shoot down..Who is Rex really think he is motivating?..His team or those teams he is facing?..He talks too much, and we all know that actions speak louder than words in any walk of life..Has he had some success?..Sure he has..but if he doesn’t change his vocal public style of coaching his words I believe from his teams perpective will be met with deaf ears..

Great Motivator, enstills confidence in his players willing to be creative on both sides of the ball. + we both like feet

Just please don’t plan on going anywhere..LOL!!

because I’ve seen so much hate spewed re Rex on BBV in the past. IMO, he’s a good coach and a bit of a clown. His act is getting old. It doesn’t piss me off, but it’s pretty boring at this point.

Vociferously passionate about his team (as all good coaches should be) but provides the media with soundbites that are rarely backed up by his team’s actual playing results.

A great, great defensive mind. Gets the most out his players on defense. Sometimes I think of him as Phil Jackson-eque in the sense that, yes he is a great defensive coach, but he also always has a great defense (Ravens have 2 definite HOFers in Lewis and Reed, plus countless great players in the Ryan era Ravens D and the Jets have Revis and other great players).

Great, passionate motivator who never turns on any of his players, especially in the media. Loyal to a fault, which Giants fans know something about (cough David Diehl cough). Definitely not a more confident (and cocky) coach that I’ve ever seen. Rex’s bravado has serious pros and cons though. It sounds great when you’re winning and your players love it but when your losing, it sounds stupid to everyone (i.e. talking trash after getting throttled by Philly).

You can’t be succesful every season in the NFL and the combination of a bad year for the Jets while Ryan is still being his cocky, trash-talking self, could be disastrous. Having a 4-12 team (for example) and having Rex being Rex would be downright humilating.

Rex’s over-sells his team and all, but it serves a purpose. He’s taking the heat that otherwise might focus on his stagnating QB or his sporadic running game or his wideout celebrating a TD amidst a big deficit or whatever. As a Giants fan, he comes off as a loudmouth, but the press only wants to bother him, and we’re all parsing Rex and not Sanchez.

in this day and age, he gets his guys up. and by the way, he is 100% correct about his statements. the jets HAVE been the better team in the recent past. no debate there

Respect his authoritiiiee.

I feel like his antics might help push some players, but that others would find it hard to take him seriously. He’s clearly a smart guy, but when you look at how much he polarizes the public, it’s hard to assume that his entire team is on board.

THANK YOU REX! The Giants are sleep walking right now. Rex"s Comments may wake up a sleeping “Giant” this Saturday. I hope so, because they need a kick in the “*” right now!!!

his team is the best and can over come anything. Rex voicing his belief in his team is part of strong conviction.

is the first NFL head coach to truly embrace America’s modern media culture. He may be over the top for many traditional fans’ tastes but the fact of the matter is that from reality TV, to bombastic personality traits, to trash talking and bravado… these are all things that the American public buys up like crazy. In a profession that is usually so buttoned down and boring, you have to at least give him credit for going so far outside the boundaries of what we have come to expect from a head coach.

If you can make enough people pay attention who otherwise wouldn’t have, it may not matter so much that the actual product isn’t exactly as exciting or fulfilling as promised. Indeed, Rex Ryan is the Nintendo Wii of football coaches.

I try not to have any. Its just better that way, and I can get along with the various Jets fans I come into contact with.

However, I can’t help but note a strange dichotomy:

When Rex gets up and does his thing, and basically says that the Jets are the greatest team ever, he gets applauded, or at worst a critical eyebrow is raised.

Any Giants player gets up and expresses a modicum of self confidence (or just confidence in general), and he is derided and told to “Shut up and play”, or some variation on the theme.

Rex’s team just got blown out by the Eagles, and yet many want him to be the Giants coach. Say what?

TC at least is genuine, not bombastic and really cares about his team. Just seems helpless in trying to get more out of his talent from his decimated Defense, which is meager. RR is an egomaniacal loudmouth who knows how to scheme and coach a defense and get the most out of his talent.on that side of the ball.

Very important to consider the injury factor when comparing the 2 coaches, esp this year. Giants D very hard hit with injuries, Jets somehow manage to avoid them for the most part. Just wondering why.

Do you feel signing Plaxico gave your offense a ‘shot’ in the arm??..I didn’t get and answer, I guess he didn’t catch the joke…

There’s no arguing he’s better. He’s gone to two straight AFC championship games without playing a home game. He gets more out of his players than Tom. Rex players respect him. I can’t say the same about Tom.

He isn’t that accomplished. The biggest thing has been his bravado. Nice solid defenses, but in their big games, has he shut down NE, has he slowed down anyone in those championship games? He’s a good coach, but not worth this much attention.

Buddy, Rex, and Rob could be the stars of a trashy reality show. I think they each have a noticeable lack of class and tact. They may each have some good football instincts and maybe motivational skills but I alsoI like a head coach that can be looked upon as a role model. Say what you will about Coughlin – I like the man’s ethics and style. And I think that can sometimes be one of those small but key ingredient to a chanmpionship. The Ryans are not role models and I dont think ever will be…

I’m not sure how much our man Ed will be able to glean from all of this..but I’m sure he’ll find some halfway reasonable input…
Now IT’s TIME !!! to the Mall I go !!!..
