The guy always tells the truth at press conferences. If you want to debate his coaching ability go ahead, but he does deliver what the press wishes all coaches would-the facts!
Rex Ryan on Patriots: 'Of course they want to bury me'
The New England Patriots might be 9-0 and have firm control of the AFC East, but Buffalo Bills coach Rex Ryan doesn't expect his longtime rivals to let up when the two teams meet Monday night, Mike Rodak of ESPN.com reports.
"Of course they want to bury me," Ryan said Thursday. "No question they want to beat me. But this is nothing to do with me, it's something to do with our team. Yeah, they want to put us away, there's no question. When you look at it from their perspective, right now we're second in the division, so of course they're gonna try to do whatever they can.
So is Ryan officially conceding the AFC East to the Patriots?
"No, I'm just telling you the facts," he responded. "The only thing I'm focused on is beating them right now, on Monday night. And we ain't conceding that, I promise you."
Ryan, who said before his return trip last week to face the New York Jets that he had this upcoming game against the Patriots circled on his calendar, changed his tone Thursday and downplayed any added importance to playing New England.
"It's no different than any other week," he said. "That's the honest-to-goodness truth. The reason they say I'm obsessed is I want what they have. They've won some rings or whatever. I ain't kissing them, but I respect them. I admire the fact that they've been that successful through the years. But that's what I'm chasing. I want to win, man."
