Xander Diaz of GGN [and myself] have been interested as to why so many have expressed their “disdain” towards Rex Ryan thus far. True, Ryan hasn’t won any games or proved himself of a future Hall of Fame coach but what he has done is instilled discipline and a new fire within New York that would get anyone [except the cold blooded] fired up. Despite his swagger some haven’t been impressed.

Recently I’ve noticed that there are many who have expressed some disdain towards new New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan and his “swaggerlicious” brand.

“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.”- Matty I. – The Phinsider.com

“Someone please remind me but, what has Ocho Rexo won exactly as a head coach? Waiting … waiting.  Ah, yes, nothing.” – Mike Freeman - CBSSports.com National Columnist

Now I can’t speak for all Jets fans but I can’t disagree more with this sentiment. Rex Ryan’s swagger and bravado is exactly the kind of attitude this club has been needing for way too long. The right amount of attitude and ego can do wonders for a team and the Jets have been lacking in this department since Bill Parcels left town.

Like Mike Florio obviously these guys have nothing better to do, except pick on the “same old Jets.”

Diaz goes on to note that the Jets have seemed to continuously have that same losing attitude year after year, the same methods that the players would end up following because it had become “tradition.” Finally you have a guy who is willing to run his mouth to get the team, the fans and the media fired up and the media decides to label the Jets for another year of misery. I’ll admit nothing is ever truly stable in any organization but when you finally have a guy who is willing to be the voice and kindle a fire, you let it burn and see where it takes the team before you go bashing his way of operating a team. It is actually refreshing to see someone who will break away from “tradition” to usher a whole new attitude — a winning attitude in order to take their team to the top.

Speaking of instilling new attitudes just yesterday, Jane McManus reported that for every pound a player is over they will be fined. John B. of GGN had this to say:

He is a disciplinarian and a players’ coach at the same time. He’s not going to hit you with 50,000,000 rules that have nothing to do with the game like Eric Mangini, but he’s not going to let his players have a free pass like Herman Edwards. Players respond to being given responsibility. They don’t mind rules that punish them for abusing that responsibility. They resent nitpicky rules.

Now if that isn’t a coach trying to do his job and manage the team properly maybe Mike Florio can write a book on what is … not that I would read it.
