Rex Ryan made it abundantly clear he'd instill a new culture within the New York Jets if hired as their head coach for a second time, and that process would start with quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
Appearing on ESPN New York's DiPietro and Rothenberg Show (via Rich Cimini of ESPN), the former NFL coach said his approach to Rodgers would be far different than how the Jets have handled the surefire Hall of Famer.
"Clearly, when you have a guy that doesn't show up for mandatory minicamp—and, by the way, he's your quarterback, coming off an injury—I think that's an absolutely ridiculous message you send to the team," Ryan said.
