Rex Ryan has hit the ground in Buffalo running, bringing attitude and (deep breath) SWAG to a team in desperate need of both.
At the owners' meetings this week, Ryan has been in typical form, which is to say outspoken and not particularly caring whether you agree with him. He announced his intention to "come after" New England, which is what you'd expect him to say. (What, he's supposed to concede the division in March?)
Ryan also had some brotherly advice for his twin Rob, the defensive mastermind for the New Orleans Saints. Rob is head coaching material, Rex believes, except for one tiny issue: his appearance.
"[H]e believes in himself so much he won’t get a haircut and keeps that belly the way it is,” Rex said, according to The Advocate. “He’s darned determined to show the league that ‘I’m going to be a head coach and do it my way.’ No you’re not. It’s unfortunate. I’m still trying to get that message across to him.”
Rex isn't wrong. NFL executives, apparently still thinking that the world was so much better when every man had a Johnny Unitas buzz cut, have said that Rob needs to cut his hair in order to look more professional. Because, as we all know, a coach's looks on the sideline are worth an extra 10 points on the field.
