Remember last year when he ended the game with all three timeouts in his pocket and when asked, he said he didn't call any of them because "[He] didn't think they were gonna score on us" in the two-minute drill? THAT is hubris.
Rex Ryan can sometimes be a clown and has to learn to be a better head coach. That 3 timeout debacle last year was the worst lol. BUT, you sometimes need a rah-rah coach to get your guys fired up. I just wish he would stop with the outrageous statements and predictions.

I guess over-rated applies to the team as a whole. The media is head over heels in love with the Jets and quite frankly the Jets were a .500 last year and have added a shitload of talented asshats, including their head coach, which could blow up in their face.
The reason why the media is in love with the Jets is because they made it to the AFC Championship game (doesn't matter how they got there), they signed great players, they were on Hard Knocks, and they're 6-2 and in 1st place in the AFC East. They deserve to be getting the attention. Also I don't think Tomlinson is a "talented asshat." He's an aging hall of fame running back that has found the fountain of youth, for the first half of the season at least. Holmes and Jason Taylor...yea they're asshats lol.

They were 9-7, having lost some winnable games and having gotten a gift from the Colts. Ironically, that was the same record they had in 2008 when they fired their coach.
I've been there with Mangini. After his 1st year, everyone here adored him...loved him. He was even given a cameo on The Sopranos. But after that, the team just quit on him. He couldn't handle NY. That's why he was fired. Maybe it's different in Cleveland, we'll see after a few years. Hopefully he makes you guys into contenders again. It's a good thing for the NFL if the Browns are good again.
