Probably my favorite episode yet. Not even a Jets or Ravens fan, but Rex is a real one.

[@ceemart3650]

I could listen to Rex talk all day

BIG FACTS!!👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽😝

[@optimus2g]

Don't fall for it. Players love him, but he doesn't coach the entire team. Just the defense. Just like his dad.

[@reidsmith4423]

Love Rex as a coach. Hope he gets another opportunity in the league.

[@admention8819]

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers could def use him

Bring him back today if I gotta hear ulbrich say he's gonna take another hard look at everything it's gonna kill me lol but to his credit he got thrown in there with no experience

[@MickeyBlue1116]

Big facts being back Rex !

[@PapillonNoir-m1f]

Shout out to Rex Ryan for admitting a disability in front of younger men. That was solid! ❤

[@PapillonNoir-m1f]

@9Nye He admitted a weakness as an elder. Thats not common especially due to ego.

[@lamaryoung7276]

RC, PLEASE, PLEASE, my brother...be an advocate for this man getting another coaching job! As a JETS fan, I had the most fun during the seasons he was our coach. I know several fans that feel the same way and would love for him to come back home. I like Brich as the interim right now but Rex needs to be strongly considered. We would welcome him back with open arms! Rex is the Man! Love him!

[@df6148]

Hated facing the jets under Rex. They played SUCH GOOD DEFENSE. My worst memory for years as a chargers fan was a wide right field goal by Nate Kaeding smh…. That was before Marlon McCree fumbled a game ending interception by trying to be a hero running it back before getting stripped and giving the ball back to guess who… TOM BRADY.

[@philipthomas3503]

Man those were great years - beat Rivers, Manning, Brady in their own homes on the road in the play-offs, that team had so many characters and personalities, shame they never went all the way, hearing Bart Scott's CAN'T WAIT was such a great moment

[@lamaryoung7276]

@@philipthomas3503 Yessir!

[@fullbackdive41]

I think he’s said he’s done with coaching unless it’s a situation he couldn’t pass.

[@Icien1]

​@fullbackdive41 didn't he just say he'd coach in "a New York minute?"

[@bondson0094]

Rex is a Jet....never stoped being a Jet....he was not not perfect but who is, his teams would run through a wall for him...I would love for him to come back to the Jets with an above average QB... and OC, D line and O line and watch him cook. This interview exemplifies why players love to play for this man you cant teach being relatable...you can't teach how to inspire men...its a gift. Great Job on this interview!

[@yagot2luvit]

Rex may have never won a ring but he definitely had by far the best Hard Knocks season ever.

[@kaprirush189]

The Jets almost died during that summer 🐐🤣🤣

[@raymondjones5909]

Rex made football fun to watch when he coached. His Monday night football games with the jets were always entertaining

[@timmcneill667]

His personality is awesome and he is funny

[@skitzospielberg]

I thought I was the only one he made me love jets football Istg

[@Louis-w3v]

And his players said Rex makes it fun to play. I forget what Jet said it. It was the veteran LB or DE who said it and he came from Miami Dolphins and retired as a Jet. Sorry I can't think of his name. Someone help me in the comments!!🏈

[@Louis-w3v]

I remember it was Jason Taylor who said Rex Ryan makes it fun

[@ronhouse8121]

When Rex was talking about his son looking at him the way Rex looked at his dad, that hit me right in the feels

[@averyharper802]

I never write comments but I had to say this. This is one of the best interviews I've ever seen. Just the energy, the entertainment, and FOOTBALL. If the schedules work out, you have to bring him back

[@eldercottonc8112]

It's a shame this man isn't coaching. NFL ought to be ashamed of themselves. Great interview!!!

[@Oldscule62]

Rex is hilarious AF. 😂😭🤣. This has been on of the best Pivots!

[@dannc644]

Rex's Dad was also a massive hero of mine. He gave me lots of tickets & the golden moment of sitting across the table from the 85 Bears at dinner with Rex's elder brother, James, may he continue resting in peace. Great job, cousin. Your Dad's legacy shines thru Seth.

[@namesfain]

I meet him in Louisville Kentucky at a Costco when he was living on a house farm in Kentucky he came in and went through my line and he was very kind soul and then it hit me when I looked his hand and he had a jets Super Bowl III ring on the left hand and ‘86 Bears SBXX on his right hand. I was like omg this is the legend Buddy Ryan. What an honor

[@dannc644]

@@namesfain Great memory, @namesfain. Thank you for sharing it. He was as real and kind as they come, and a brilliant football mind that has passed through to his twin sons and grandson, Seth. Hopefully there will be another opportunity for that 3rd-generation honor to become theirs.

[@joeirelan3745]

Big fan of Coach Ryan, hopefully an organization will give him an opportunity to lead again!

[@timcarter817]

After the success and culture change Dan Campbell brought to my Lions, idk how a struggling franchise doesn’t coordinate a hire with him if he can bring a good OC/DC. The guy knows D don’t get me wrong, but his biggest strengths are obviously his motivational ability, his understanding of the league and its players and his football IQ.

[@albertruas7619]

Come home to the jets !

Y’all made Coach so comfortable, he would’ve told y’all ANYTHING. Your guests recognize the difference from an interview & a conversation. Ryan, you will ALWAYS hit a REAL FATHER’s heart when you asks about their children. Real parents want better for our children. Great job 3 Headed Monsters (minus Fred today) 💯🙏🏾😜👊🏾

Buddy will have a special place in my heart as a Bears fan, the Ryan’s are a special football family. Great interview as always Pivot.

Rex makes you want to run a damn wall just for him. Just look at the fire that RC & Chan had in their eyes during the interview.

Yeah man..

Rex had the Jets looking like the Steelers on defense, him and Revis compliment each other perfectly.

This man is one of the big reasons i became a defensive coordinator myself. I love how he treats his players and how they reciprocate him. "I want what you got uncle Frank" - T.I. (American Gangster)

If you were a football player in your youth or life. You would have LOVED at a chance to play for a guy like Rex. He was the epitome “IDGAF who you are!” man. Special coach. And I BLEED BLACK and GOLD (Steelers Fan). Love his attitude.

[@kenwolf6334]

Love Rex and his dad Buddy one of the greatest defensive minds in Football.

[@TheForbidden_1ne]

This is why I love sports pods ran by former players. You are able to extract the realness out of coaches and players alike, speaking their language and getting them so comfortable to really just unwind and be vulnerable. This is what sports media cannot do; humanize the people and personalities behind the business, fanfare, and high production of the league. Much respect 🫡

[@derrickevans1758]

Saw the font.... Read the name... Immediately clicked play and let it ride. Walking talking piece of history. His dad is a defensive architect and his brother was our DC at a bad time. If ever I could see a jets game when he was a coach I watched, they always played tough and gave his division hell. I was in college when ESPN ran a loop of him driving off in that big ass truck with flags. I'll never forget that and praise him when he gets on Zimmer ass WEEKLY 😂 thank you for all you do coach. Always stands up for his players 💯

[@guitardanno79]

First time I've checked this pod out because I like Rex, and I have to say, you have at least twice as many built in commercials as I'm used to seeing on a pod. I only see the built in ads so I'm not counting YT's ads. It's a good pod otherwise but it feels like there are a lot of "here's our sponsor(s)" breaks in the conversation, which was a real good one to be honest.
