Take your Mister Rogers coach and losing ways some where else. Give me what the Jets have, a winning team and players that want to work hard for their coach.

I have to disagree. I think that people will look the other way on poor attitude and behavior in exchange for winning is a sad commentary on our society. You can be a great coach without being rude and condoning poor behavior.

A sad commentary on our society? Last time I checked football is still a sport...right? Some rivalry, celebration, smack talk and drama makes for good sports.
What happened in Arizona and the needless loss of innocent lives is a sad commentary on our society...not smack talk in a football game.
Matty is right this is sour grapes.

Right football is still a just a sport so why are we saying it is appropriate to use profanity on national tv or during interviews? I don't care if they want to trash talk and celebrate or anything like that. I coach XC and track and field and I tell my athletes that profanity is a sign of a weak man. Is there a time and place for it? sure, but on a daily basis and all the time it gets to be a little much. I don't have sour grapes, I have no rooting interest what so ever in Rex Ryan, but I do think it is possible to have some edge as a team and a coach and not be classless.
