FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- New York Jets coach Robert Saleh, responding to sharp criticism from one of his predecessors, fired back Monday at former Jets coach and current ESPN analyst Rex Ryan.
Ryan ripped Saleh in a morning interview on ESPN radio's "DiPietro & Rothenberg Show," questioning his coaching ability and saying he's insulted when comparisons are made between him and Saleh because of their defensive background.
Several hours later, Saleh went back at Ryan.
"I've never met Rex. I've never had a conversation with Rex," Saleh said in his weekly spot on "The Michael Kay Show" on ESPN radio.
