PrintContinuing on with our first weekly installment of "Around The AFC East," let's shift our attention to the team the Dolphins defeated in week 17 last year to win the division - the NY Jets. To do so, we welcome in John B of Gang Green Nation - SBN's Jets blog.
Matty I: Let's talk about your new head coach. I'll be honest and say that I'm completely unimpressed by what I've heard from Rex Ryan thus far. He comes off to me as an arrogant SOB who likes to run his mouth - traits you do not want in a head coach, if you ask me. What kind of initial impression has Ryan made among Jet fans?
John B: I think personality is a bit overrated when it comes to coaching. It is one of those things people look to after the fact for some meaning. If Ryan is successful, people will say his brashness gave the Jets a swagger. The same people will say he was too focused on talking to the media and not enough on gameplanning if he fails. In reality, I'm not sure how much it matters.
Most Jets fans really like Ryan. I am with them. I wrote an opinion piece that the Jets should pursue Ryan before Eric Mangini was even fired. The first thing I like about him is his knowledge of X's and O's. He received a top notch education from his father Buddy, one of the most innovative defensive minds in football history. Rex gained a reputation in Baltimore for his creativity. He ran 4-3, 3-4, and 46 fronts. He grasps how to tailor a scheme to maximize his players' strengths and attack an opponent's weaknesses.He also gets the most from his players. Jim Leonhard and Bart Scott went from undrafted free agents to desired commodities on the free agent market because of Ryan's work with them. They would run through a wall for him. He was the preferred choice of the Ravens' players during their coaching search a year ago. Jim Leonhard reportedly took less money with the Jets than Denver offered just so he could stay with Ryan. Backup defensive lineman Marques Douglas came to the Jets because he wanted to reunite with Rex.To me, the two most important jobs of a head coach are to develop a coherent strategy and unite the locker room. Ryan has the capability to do both very well. Will he work out as a head coach? Nobody can say. I can tell you he has all the tools to be become an excellent one, though.

When it comes to him being an ass....
that’s the typical New Yorker. He’ll fit in well there.
But there is no doubt that the Ravens GM Ozzie Newsome has been one of the best in football over the last decade at finding guys who can contribute. I think Newsome should get more credit for discoving guys like Scott, than Ryan should get credit for developing him.

It's a Wash...
The GM and coaches need to know each other, their skills, talents, instruction, etc, to pick AND develop players.
The Jets have more problems than just the Head Coach. Not many (one?) quarterback situations like in Atlanta happen in the NFL.
If the Jets win five games, I’ll be surprised
Me Mungo. Me coach Jets.

I just wonder
why Miami, Atlanta, and even his own Baltimore Ravens, all passed on him as a HC candidate before 2008. All three went with relative unknowns as far as head coaching names go. It says alot to me that 3 teams in serious need of a kick in the pants type head coach passed on Ryan.
Leave it to the Jets to find another overhyped DC. The last one got by because Belichick ran the show, this one got by with an All-Star team of a defense. I’ll call it now. Ryan = FLOP.

Rex Ryan
Of coarse he was going to be a stud DC. With the talent that he had around him was amazing. Having Ray lewis which i think why Bart Scott was as good as he was i think he is overrated and was way overpaid. Thats the Jets for ya though there good at getting overpaid and overrated players.Having Ed Reed at safety i bet made leonhard look great also QB were afraid to throw near Ed Reed. Just like wit the raiders no one wants to throw next to namdi asamough. Having Suggs made the whole LB corp alot better. I know the jets had a decent-D but they dont have the players like they do at the Ravens. Like someone else said if Parcells past on him and so did 3 other teams that needed HC and a major overhaul and passed on him that will make anybody think twice about him.
