Yes, the Jets have won more than the Browns, Titans, Jaguars, Chiefs, Raiders, and a few others, but there has been no team that has needed a full-time tabloid reporter to make sure all the stories are covered. And the latest is a doozie...
Apparently Jets head coach Rex Ryan has been rather open about his future prospects with the organization. Supposedly he has been telling whoever wants to listen that Jets owner Woody Johnson needs to spend a good chunk of money on upgrades to this team. If he doesn't he might as well fire him.
It kind of sounds like Rex is expecting to be fired and that he is setting the stage for him to say that he is better off without the Jets; that it wasn't his fault that the Jets couldn't get it together. It was Woody's for not spending enough money.
Since the story broke Rex has done the only thing that he can and denied it. As true as it may or may not be it looks pretty bad for the organization and for Rex. A good coach doesn't openly bash his team like that; to his staff, to his dog, to anyone, but especially not to the media.
Owners looking to hire a new head coach may not see Rex for the guy that Rex thinks he is, but as someone who can't take a lick of responsibility. Instead he continues to insist that he is right on everything; never wavering until the end.
On one hand you can call it loyalty to a fault, but on the other it's an inability to understand the time and need for change.
Now the big question should not be whether Rex Ryan said anything about the Jets, the organization, or what Woody Johsnon needs to do, but who in the world is the source that keeps giving these guys up?
We've had stories all season long coming from unnamed sources most recently the whole debacle surrounding Tim Tebow and his supposed request not to be apart of the wildcat package. Now this mess about Ryan?
Let's not forget the whole mess about Tebow being called horrible too.
Whoever this person is, it must be someone that the media feels pretty comfortable with since they keep going back to the well. Either that or maybe they know that controversy sells, direct denials of it sells even more, and that as long as they stick to their guns no one will ever know who this source is...
...or if he's been telling the truth...
Maybe this is just what NFL teams are actually like; maybe they are all a reporter with a good source away from being a circus of gossip.
Nah. It's just the Jets.
