Keukasmallies Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 Ya' got me. I think the guy's a buffoon of the first order. He strikes me as a candidate for used car salesman in some small metropolitan area New Jersey city.
D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 (edited) The media has played a huge role. He is the exact opposite of Marrone. AKA a good interview! Don't be surprised if he doesn't get a lot of jobs offers. Edited December 31, 2014 by moreproblemsthanOrton
mikemac2001 Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 His gm set him up to fail Rex likes man to man corners and the gm got rid of both and failed to replace them with miss picks Also he drafted geno and forced mark out (that's what it seems) If Rex had an average qb he can build a d

apuszczalowski Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 As much as I dislike him, he was not the problem in NY, the team was poorly run above him. He was a decent coach but was given over the hill former superstars and bad QBS to work with

Estelle Getty Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 (edited) In the 5 or 6 years there his best player on offense was santonio holmes who is a # 2 receiver on a good day. Nough said Edited December 31, 2014 by Estelle Getty
CBD Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 There are always excuses for not winning...........we dumped 3 head coaches that had better excuses then Rex Ryan None of those coaches went to the AFC championship game, let alone twice.
DrDawkinstein Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 When the Jets had a decent GM who was on the same page with Rex, they went to the AFC Championship a couple times and were in the playoff hunt every year. Everyone in NY knows that Idzik was the real problem there over "the last few years", as even OP puts it. Give the man the personnel he needs to run his schemes and he can be successful. Purposely lose all of your CBs, and then not sign any others, and his Defense is going to fail.

Purposely lose all of your CBs, and then not sign any others, and his Defense is going to fail. I agree with this and think that ATL is a good fit for him. The youngs corners Alford and Trufant (stud) will make his life easier. Their offense has some weapons and defense needs some work. They are strong though in the one spot that he needs.
mannc Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 None of those coaches went to the AFC championship game, let alone twice. And he has beaten Belichick three or four times as often as coaches the Billls have assembled over the past 15 years.
stony Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 Rex always had good to great defenses (all him). He single handily made Revis into a mythological creature. He fosters an intense loyalty amongst his players that I haven't seen in recent times. I truly get the sense his players feel like crap not that he got canned. His GM traded picks and players to grab Sanchez. Bad idea. His other GM drafted Geno seemingly against his wishes and forced him on him. See above. The same GM did nothing for the roster (Richardson selection aside) in two full seasons at the helm. Yes, Rex can be bad at clock management from time to time. The same can be said for nearly ever coach in the league. They all mess it up. But I'd take him any day of the week.

Lofton80 Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 Went to 2 AFC championship games. Battled Patriots pretty good. His high risk defense requires big time corners. Worked nice when they had the horses.

Give this guy another head coaching job and you can expect more of this next season. http://www.nfl.com/n...h-49ers-falcons = He's really, really good at what he does well: Defense. He's also really good at getting his players ready for big games (generally speaking). His players play hard for him (generally speaking). An owner may be convinced that in the right situation, with a really good QB already in place and some offensive weapons, Rex can come in and put them over the hump. Atlanta could be one of those places. If I was an Atlanta fan, I'd probably be really interested in Rex as my coach.
truth on hold Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 (edited) Agreed. The guys a high school coach. He and his brother are a couple of blowhard buffoons. Edited December 31, 2014 by JTSP
BuffOrange Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 You don't have to like him but at least he's not collecting a check off his last name like his brother. His defense overachieved nearly every year in NJ considering they never had a great pass-rusher. The questions about offense with him are justified; but with a decent QB like ATL (a rare job opening with a good QB in place), it'd be interesting to see. I mean, I wouldn't break the bank but I'd take him over Andrew Gaze aka the guy who happens to be the OC for Peyton Manning, a job your 10yr old daughter could do.
stony Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 Agreed. The guys a high school coach. He and his brother are a couple of blowhard buffoons. Sammy's a bust. Rex is a high school coach. What's your opinion on Doug Legursky? All-Pro?
