    Nice guy who finished last - in college.

    It doesn't prove a damn thing.
    I said Johnson because he's a person who has made mistakes and is a person young guys respect.
    If a guy makes a mistake in his life, and who hasn't, and can relay that experience so that someone else may not make the same error, that's great. I'd listen to what he has to say because he's been there.

    Jimmy also didn't want his parents or kids at the first Super Bowl he coached in because they'd be a distraction. Good coach, family man I don't think so.

    But I always thought Johnson caught lightning in a bottle and made the most out of four good years of knowledge of college players in Dallas. In Miami, that didn't materialize much, plus he was hog-tied by the owner's love for Dan Marino.

    LOL. But if you put Jimmy, Rex, Herm and Cower in the four corners of a room, I'd put some money that more would listen to what Jimmy had to say.

    Cowher would be close.
    I'm not a big fan of Edwards because there's nothing as a coach to be a fan of other than his personal life. Rex? The whole Ryan clan can be flushed for all I care. Never liked any of them, thanks to Buddy. And I definitely see the nuts didn't fall too far from the tree.

    There is only one current NFL coach who holds serious juice over his current and recent peers, and even that is semi-debatable.

    Gibbs could have had it, but lost it when he came back.

    Drip, so if Rex takes the stage and says "Hey guys, don't make the mistake I made, get all pervy with your wife's feet in private and without a video camera," he is then your good role model?

    I really don't understand the hate for Rex. Players like him, he gets results and he makes the game fun.

    After the Steelers just gutted the Jets in the first half of the AFC Championship game last year, and the Jets came back, says a lot about Ryan as a coach. A lot of teams would have folded. A lot.

    I don't hate anyone. Rex, in my opinion is more of a character than a coach. Yes, he knows the game and knows defense but he's no coaching genius.
    I'm a little too old for the role model stuff however, I have learned from his experience not to do stupid shit like that on video.

    Save the rah-rah stuff. The Jets got on a roll. It was the championship game. They didn't want to go out the way they were playing. It's all part of the game.
