Around the NFL 2013 Offseason (Episode 99)

[MTK]

Rex is clearly feeling the heat.

Not a good sign when you're melting down in a preseason presser.

Im still confused as to why they kept him. They wont even let him choose his starting QB and we have seen with Jerruh what a front office making coaching decisions does to a team. Other than holding onto him for one more year knowing that they couldnt make many improvements. Just trying to be kind to their new HC instead of shackling him this year, I dont see a reason to keep him.

Jets and the Raiders screwed up in the draft, Matt Barkley was available instead they passed and got Geno Smith and Tyler Wilson. I think Barkley is lot better than those 2.

Woody Johnson probably didn't want to pay him so that's probably why he's still around. He's as good as gone after this year.

I would hardly call that a meltdown. Those reporters are so damn annoying asking the same questions over and over again. I don't blame him for getting short with that crap. Jim Mora? Denny Green? Now those were meltdowns.

For Rex who normally stays pretty composed, I'd call it a meltdown. Especially considering it was after a preseason game.

Rex Ryan loves the media, and he loves the attention. He relishes being in New York and rounding up the reporters to gather around him and listen to his bravado. And they do, and in large part because of them, he's a larger than life figure in and out of the NFL who commands more attention than he probably deserves.

But you can't have it both ways. You can't insist that the media be at your beck and call when you want to remind people that you're the head coach of the New York Jets. But then get pissy when you're challenged
