Maybe I wasn't just the traditional-type person or whatever. I got to the top, but I got there maybe unconventionally. It wasn't just a straight line.
— Rex Ryan
I can see the whole field. I don't know why. Most coaches can see two or three guys.
I know that to coach in the National Football League is an honor.
I was a terrible student.
I'll stand by everything I've ever said.
I think Sammy Watkins is a rare talent.
Jamal Adams has got The Jet Way. Everybody needs to get on board with that kid and follow him, even if it means more than the coach.
I think if I look back too much, I can't move forward.
I'm not a phony. I'm the real deal.
I was fortunate to be under my dad. And there's a ton of things that I learned from my dad what to do. There's probably a few things I learned what not to do.
The one thing I always knew was Dad would always be there for me. No matter what the situation.
I think the '06 Ravens, if we woulda won a championship, would have been considered maybe the best of all time, because statistically, I think that defense led the NFL in more categories than any other defense in history.
The lap-band surgery has been tremendous.
Look, do I like the Mets and the Yankees? Absolutely.
I have sets, literally, of almost every single year of Strat-O-Matic baseball. That's how huge I was into it.
I've been real fortunate. I got two opportunities when a lot of great coaches don't get any.
This is the business of football and nothing is guaranteed to you as a player, coach or anybody else. They don't have to give you the money. They don't have to give you a longterm contract.
There's nothing that special about me. I'm just a hard-working guy, I'm dyslexic, I had to overcome a lot of things like that.
The neighbor's kid was bullying my kid. Crossing the line. Threatening him all the time. I went over there to tell him what was going on. I had on flip-flops. I wasn't there to fight. It was a misunderstanding between a couple of dudes where one thing led to another.
I want people to know that you can have dyslexia and still reach your goals.
So much of school, you have to write, but I just struggled. I couldn't help it.
I've said all along, 'I'm glad to be a Jet. I'm happy to be a Jet.' That's never changed.
I'm passionate about the game - just like the fans are, and I've coached in the league for a long time, so that's the perspective I will bring to ESPN.
I love that mentality: 'Hey - you know what? - you may beat us, but by God we're going to beat the hell out of you.' I'd rather go down that way, with people that will go down swinging than, 'OK, let's accept losing.'
If a guy makes a mistake or drops a ball or does whatever, yeah it makes me mad, but I don't get on that person.
Everybody in the league has someone up in the box, or guys on the sidelines trying to steal calls. It's just like baseball. If you've got guys who can do, you do it.
I learned so much football from my dad.
I was on the sideline for the '85 Super Bowl, but I was going to college.
I'm just gonna be myself and that's been good enough for me throughout my life.
My arms are like twigs.
I'm not a bunt guy, I'm a home run guy.
I think my admiration is really for Belichick more than anything. As a coach, that's the guy. He'll go down as probably the best in the history of the game. I like poking fun at him and all that stuff, but there's no coach I respect more than him.
I wanted to beat Peyton Manning as bad as I've ever wanted anything in my life.
Just because somebody cusses doesn't make him a bad person. Just because a guy doesn't cuss doesn't make him a good person.
I just loved the kind of people who play football. Definitely takes courage to play this game.
I hate wine. I like beer!
For the weaknesses I have with spelling and all those other things with being dyslexic, I have a lot of other strengths also.
There's no way I'm going to be second fiddle.
I understand being second-guessed and stuff when an injury happens - certainly I understand that - but that's football.
I've been a coach for 30 years and I've been around football my entire life.
Nobody's more loyal than me as a football coach, I can tell you that.
I always get saddled as a player's coach, and I'm happy about that.
The Colts are outstanding at stealing calls.
I don't think there's any doubt, I love my kids. But I'm certainly not perfect, not even close. But I try to be a good dad.
I think motivation is a thing that is inside of you.
For me to be at my best, I need to do something I'm decent at, which is coach.
My wife's beautiful. We've been married for 23 years. She's awesome.
I love coaching football, don't get me wrong. But I just love baseball.
I'm certainly not intimidated by New England or anybody else.
Belichick, I recognize the fact this is a Hall of Fame coach. He'll go down in history as maybe the greatest football coach in the history of this game, or going to be close to it.
