Rex Ryan, the New York Jet’s coach is never lacking confidence. The rookie coach with a rookie quarterback went 9-7. It’s surprising, considering the data shows that there has not been a rookie quarterback and rookie coach to make the playoffs in over sixty years. Somehow, Rex has gotten the team to coalesce and become one team. This is the crux at why Eric Mangini, the former coach, was fired. Often disheveled and sloppy, Rex Ryan is in your face, loud, bellowing, and possibly even offensive. And Jets fans love him. He’s always promising crazy things, and they somehow happen to work out for him. He may be garrulous, but he never hectors anyone. Whenever he takes a friendly jab, he always takes one at himself as well.
The real question here is, is he really crazy for always being so confident? I mean, it is smart to always say how you’re going to pull the upset when no one is expecting it. If you don’t, it’s not a big deal because no one expected it. But if you do, you look like a genius. For example, right before the playoffs started, Rex Ryan said how the Jets are “The favorite to win the Super-bowl.” Talk about a bold statement. The Jets weren’t even projected to win the wildcard game, let alone the divisional playoff, championship or Super-bowl. But thus far, they knocked off the Cincinnati Bengals and now have to take on the Chargers who have won eleven straight games. We’ll have to see what Rex Ryan has up his sleeve now to back up his talk.
