Rex Ryan and his staff have a lot riding on the outcome of the NFL's labor showdown in Washington, D.C. If it ends with a lockout, the New York Jets' coaches will get hit with a 25 percent pay cut, starting almost immediately -- and that doesn't sit well with the president of the NFL Coaches Association. "That's very harsh compared to other teams in the league," Larry Kennan said in a phone interview. Kennan said fewer than 10 teams are planning to institute pay cuts that severe. In contrast, the Giants have said they have no immediate plans to slash the salaries of their coaches, president and CEO John Mara indicated last week. It's interesting how two teams in the same market, and co-owners of the same stadium, are taking different approaches to the labor uncertainty. The Jets believe they're being proactive by planning for the worst-case scenario, noting that the coaches will recoup their lost wages if no games are lost due to a lockout. "It still doesn't seem right to me," Kennan said. "It's like they're going to borrow my money to pay their bills, and then pay me back later."
