Ryan on whether the Jets will win the Super Bowl:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cAbsolutely. We are going to do it this year. When I took this job, I said before our President\u2019s term is up, \u2018we are going to meet President Obama.\u2019 His first term is not up yet. Last year I said soon to be champs, I never put a date on it, this year I am putting a date on it. I truly believe we are going to win the thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Johnson on<\/strong> whether the Jets will win the Super Bowl:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI am going to go with the coach. We came two minutes away this year. We just ran out of time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ryan on Jets owner Woody Johnson:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cNo one wants to win more than Woody. He\u2019s also available to the players. Mr. Johnson comes to practice several times a week, talks to all the players, all the coaches. When the top man is around and talking to everybody and it\u2019s so natural, it\u2019s a great thing. It\u2019s going to be really hard for me not to be successful because of all the people around me. That is from the top down.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ryan on his philosophy that players should be \u201cbad asses on the field, gentlemen off the field\u201d and whether this mantra is successful:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI think so. One thing I am really proud of is the fact that our players sell out for each other. They do the little things. Celebration Mondays- after a victory we watch the tape from the games and I will pick out 10 or 15 plays that show what it means to play like a Jet. A selfless act. I don\u2019t necessarily show the spectacular catch. I show the other part of the game and they really buy into that team concept and it\u2019s about us, not about the individual.\u201d<\/p>\n

Johnson on the controversy surrounding Sal Alosi tripping a player:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWe had a lot of controversy, but we made it through. Sal was a great strength and conditioning coach. We loved him when he was with us. He made a mistake. Hopefully he will get another show somewhere. We aren\u2019t going to give him a second chance right now. He will get a second chance because of the value of his contribution.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ryan on why he wanted to coach the Jets from his initial meeting with Woody Johnson:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI was so comfortable in that meeting. I was about 30 minutes late at least. Not a great first impression to make. When I came in I was panicked but right away I was so comfortable with the whole group. I knew I wanted to be with them. I wanted to be a head coach. When I look at it; it\u2019s funny. Things work, maybe not on your time, but always on time. When this opportunity came to me, I can tell you right now, I would rather be with the New York Jets than any other organization in football.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ryan on his media preparation strategy for players:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cSome of our team building is our media preparation. We are proud to be a transparent organization. We give access to all our players and I never tell players what to say. I am proud of our players. What I do say is it doesn\u2019t matter what you say but I would like you to mention two teammates and one coach.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ryan on the famous \u201cburn the boat\u201d speech he gave to players before the first Steelers game:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI knew the kind of team we had. I knew if we played to the best of our ability we could beat anybody in this league\u2026But I wasn\u2019t satisfied that was getting done. We had struggled a week before against Miami. I challenged our offense. I knew if we could get our players to play to their ability, we could find a way to get it done. Our guys understand when I tell them those things it comes from the heart.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ryan on their rivalry with the New England Patriots and the playoffs in which they won the first game, lost the second, and how he prepared for the third game:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cOur guys were sky high in the practices. We had the best practices we ever had. The last practice, Jim Leonhard, our safety, had a devastating injury and we went from being sky high to being low as you can. Obviously that day New England played an unbelievable game and we played about as poor a game as you can. We couldn\u2019t wait to play them again. We knew we were a much better football team and we couldn\u2019t wait for that opportunity to show the country what we were all about.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

Johnson on whether there is any animosity between him and former Jets coach Bill Belichick:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cCertainly not my end. I can\u2019t speak for Bill. I have a lot of respect for Bill. I lost two coaches in a matter of minutes. I came in and Parcells said I\u2019m not coaching.\u201d<\/p>\n

Johnson on whether the fact that Belichick now coaches the New England Patriots contributes to the fierce rivalry with the Jets:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cSomewhat. But we are divisional rivals. We don\u2019t like each other.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ryan on why he thinks Peyton Manning is the best Quarterback as opposed to Tom Brady:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI respect both those guys. I think there is only one Peyton Manning. Tom Brady is a fantastic quarterback, league MVP, three-time Super Bowl winning quarterback, married to a model.\u00a0 This guy has it all going for him; there is no question.\u201d<\/p>\n
