NEW YORK (AP) – Rex Ryan is the same on paper as he is in every one of his press conferences: bold, brash and confident.
The New York Jets coach’s upcoming book, “Play Like You Mean It,” comes out next week and gives an entertaining glimpse into the man who has become one of the NFL’s most colorful and controversial personalities.
Ryan, who co-wrote the book with Don Yeager, talks about growing up as the son of Buddy Ryan, his philosophies on coaching and how he helped turned the Jets from a punchline to a team that has made two straight AFC championship games.
He also praises Bill Belichick, criticizes former Jets safety Kerry Rhodes, says he thought former first-round pick Vernon Gholston was “a phony” before he coached him and tweaks the Giants.
