This is no bueno if you’re a Jets fan…

Jet quarterback Mark Sanchez says he once nearly unleashed some unnecessary roughness — on coach Rex Ryan!

When Ryan came close to benching Gang Green’s matinee-idol star last year, Sanchez said he wanted to take a swing at the popular, outspoken sideline commander.

“I wanted to fight him. I was really mad,” Sanchez said in a revealing chat with GQ magazine.

Sanchez had been performing particularly poorly, racking up consecutive, embarrassing defeats to the New England Patriots and Miami Dolphins, prompting Ryan to openly speculate about benching him.

Ryan then ordered backup QB Mark Brunell to start practicing more with the team’s other starters — another sign he was considering sidelining Sanchez — and Sanchez said he flipped.

But he never actually tried to turn Gang Green’s coach black and blue, thanks to the cooler head of offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer, he said.

Sounds like there may be some trouble amongst the Gang Green.

Despite his unhappiness with Ryan for nearly benching him, Sanchez still has grudging respect for his loudmouth boss.

“Rex is super-honest,” he said. “I wish he wasn’t that honest at times.”

Jets fans, are you worried about the brouhaha between your coach and your star QB???
