		<description>Jim Harbaugh is an interesting second choice to REX RYAN.  I am not a Spags fan because 1. he is a Giant and 2. plays the 4-3.</description>

		<description>Spags will FAIL as a HC!!!!! 

Spags is a MEDIA CREATION a NY MEDIA CREATION and is NOT Ready to be a HC!!!!!!!!!

I also don&#039;t want a Giant Coach as a new HC of the Jets!

HIRE Rex Ryan as the NEW HC of the NY Jets NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

JET FANS read this story:

Ryan is finishing his fourth season as defensive coordinator for the Ravens and 10th year with Baltimore.


Ryan&#039;s defense has already grabbed a great deal of attention after forcing five turnovers in a wild-card victory over the Miami Dolphins, who had NFL record-low 13 turnovers during the regular season. Chad Pennington, who had thrown only seven interceptions in 16 games, was picked off four times.


Aggressive, innovative thinker

&quot;You can look at any game that my guys are out there on the field, and I think they represent me -- who I am, what I stand for,&quot; Ryan said.
This is who Ryan is: a highly aggressive and innovative thinker who always believes in turning up the heat on the opposing quarterback in every way imaginable. This is what he stands for: whatever it takes to win.

A classic example of his creativity came during the wild-card game at Miami, when 6-foot-4, 345-pound Haloti Ngata suddenly vacated his usual spot at nose tackle and wound up at middle linebacker.

&quot;What happens when you do that is you&#039;re putting pressure on the opposition,&quot; Ryan said. &quot;Because now, if they are just looking at that front as a 3-4 front, then he might be identified as a linebacker. And when that happens, now we can get Haloti on a running back, so if we blitz a 350-pound linebacker, a running back has to try to block him.

&quot;We do that stuff all over the place. We can take corners and have them rush. We can drop out on the nose tackle and blitz a corner (through the middle). And we&#039;re not scared to overload a whole side (to rush the passer). We always say, &#039;Don&#039;t let the only limitations your players have be you as a coach.&#039;&quot;
Ryan has long preached the &quot;KILL&quot; philosophy of teaching: Keep it likeable and learnable. He makes certain that every member of the defense knows everyone else&#039;s responsibilities. That way, players become interchangeable and opponents have a harder time figuring out who and what is coming their way from one game, or snap, to the next.

This applies to backups as well as superstars such as linebacker Ray Lewis and free safety Ed Reed.
&quot;If you dress, you&#039;re going to have some role for us, in some capacity,&quot; Ryan said. &quot;The players really buy into it, they take ownership in it. It&#039;s great when you can say to a Ray Lewis, &#039;Ray, you&#039;re going to have to eat up these two (blockers) so (outside linebacker) Jarret Johnson has a chance to be free or be one-on-one.&#039; Ray Lewis, a first-ballot Hall of Fame guy, is willing to sacrifice for a lesser-known player, although Jarret&#039;s an excellent player in his own right. But it could be any player, and those guys will make that sacrifice on anything that we call.&quot;
The rap on Ryan is that he doesn&#039;t come off as being particularly polished in interviews. He has the bold and brash personality of his father, former NFL coach Buddy Ryan. The same goes for his twin brother, Rob, who has also been the defensive coordinator for the Oakland Raiders and is in line to fill the same job with the Cleveland Browns.

But Rex Ryan makes it clear that his style of coaching is going to be as subtle as a punch in the mouth.
&quot;I&#039;m not blessed with a silver tongue,&quot; said Ryan, who has coached in the NFL for 12 years. &quot;I don&#039;t think I&#039;m going to wow anybody in an interview. I&#039;m just going to be myself and hopefully that&#039;s good enough to get a job. I understand a great responsibility that a head coach has to (represent) an organization, and to be considered in that light is really special to me.

&quot;But I want to become a head coach because I think I can do a great job.&quot;

WOW…. Jets HIRE this MAN NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

		<description>Wow, I like Harbaugh and all (naturally since I live in Indianapolis) and i think hes doing a great job at Stanford, and will end up being a very good coach. But dont you think he is a little &quot;green&quot; to coach in the NFL just yet?</description>
