SoulMan Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Schwartz would have my first choice. RR more noise than results. At the end of the day, Bills fans just freakin want and deserve a winner and if Rex does it, bring me more ! This does kind of sell out the division games next year, doesn't it ? And I'm think in' they'll be pretty good games ! LET'S GO BUFFALO !!!
BillsBytheBay Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 I love it. Regarding his shortcomings on the offensive side of the ball....for all the haters, ask yourself a question ... have you ever made a mistake in your professional career? Don't think he's not smart enough to self-evaluate and hire an OC with a strong skill-set. Double-plus- he stands toe to toe with Belichick. Anyone know our last coach that did? Me neither. Gotta love the Bills....always some drama. he was also blown out, and destroyed by the Bills the last three games..
ndirish1978 Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 So not a fan of this move. We will be looking for a new coach within three years for sure. Wanna bet? Make it interesting? My God! The Pegulas are in over their heads. Can't believe they couldn't have done better than this. Prove me wrong, Rex, please! You should just say "congrats to my fellow Sexton client Rex, I'm happy you got my old job" and then go back to trying to trick people into hiring you Doug
KOKBILLS Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Right! It's just a guess...Putting two and two together with the Roman thing...But I'm guessing the Bills are going to at least ask San Fran about Kaepernick...We'll see...
Kelly the Dog Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Question? If Rex had coached Tampa Bay or Cincinnati or St. Louis [or Buffalo], would we think of him as "top name" coach? A lot of his alure comes from being in the media capital of the world, IMO... Don't know about that. His dad was a lightning rod for publicity on a national level. He was a bigger story on the Ravens than the Head Coach was. It wasn't only NY.
gomper Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 he was also blown out, and destroyed by the Bills the last three games.. True, but leveling the playing field with the Pats coaching-wise is a start. The rest? We shall see.

Lurker Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Don't know about that. His dad was a lightning rod for publicity on a national level. He was a bigger story on the Ravens than the Head Coach was. It wasn't only NY. He's always been a lightning rod. That was OK in secondary markets on the way up, but to be the head man in the lightning capital of the world has surely made its mark on him. We'll have to see how his act plays in a one-paper, hyper-passonate town like Buffalo. This could get ugly fast if the D regresses next year, as unlike one of the coordinator-types, Rex's honeymoon is going to be very short, IMO...
The Frankish Reich Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Not sure what happened in San Fran last year...But Kaepernick did not look like the same kid to me...He regressed no question...But he was really close to Harbaugh and I'm assuming he knew of the internal rift there because everyone knew...Maybe it effected him? Maybe not...But I always liked Roman...And I'm AOK with bringing him in as the OC... He did take a step back, but I'm not sure that's surprising or that it says anything about Roman or Harbaugh. Keep is probably the best pure athlete ever to play the QB position and his early success may have been more about that than about the system. When defenses adapted Kaep didn't take the next step (yet) to find what they were now leaving open for him.
Formerly Allan in MD Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 My God! The Pegulas are in over their heads. Can't believe they couldn't have done better than this. Prove me wrong, Rex, please! Are you sure you're not in over your head?
QB Bills Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 http://www.torontosun.com/2011/11/05/rex-ryan-bleeds-blue-and-white I like him even more now.

This could get ugly fast if the D regresses next year, as unlike one of the coordinator-types, Rex's honeymoon is going to be very short, IMO... Who knows. That's true of every coach, win and youre good, lose and you suck. I think Rex has toned it down the last couple years, mostly because he was pissed and a lame duck. Ultimately, this is all a personal bias thing. If you like Rex and did before, you love this. If you thought he was a blowhard, you probably hate it but will try to like him because he's our blowhard. Unless you're WEO or BillsVet or their unreasonable facsimiles who hate everything Bills no matter what.
Best Player Available Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Why do people automatically think Sanchez will become a Bill? Did Rex say he wants to get him signed? Did Whaley?
Wayne Cubed Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Oh, I don't mean all. He was a good DC and a bad HC was the prevailing opinion around here. Now, because Atlanta wanted him, he's a great hire. Kinda weird. Yea, that's still my prevailing opinion and he wasn't who I wanted the Bills to hire but I'll get behind it, eventually. He's a great DC but wasn't a great HC in NY. He was alright and still kicked the crap out of the Bills most years. Yea, yea he beat the Pats* in the playoffs. I guess what it boils down to is with Marrone, who probably isn't as good of a coach as Rex, went 9-7 with this team. Is Rex a better enough coach to get a few more wins out of the Bills? Maybe. This year's crop of HC's wasn't all that amazing, personally I would have liked Bevell but I guess I see why the Pegula's did what they did. Time will tell if it was the right choice.
plenzmd1 Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 No one else worried this was tweeted by Sheffy almost 5 hours ago...and not a peep from the Bills or Rex...or Sexton. No one else finds Sexton being Rex agent funny?
Don't stop billievein Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Everyone needs to R-E-L-A-X!! Seriously, he's the best coach we've had in here in ten years maybe even since Marv. He has the personality that so many people have been saying we need our coach to have. He's emotional and players love playing for the guy. It could be a lot worse than Rex and it has been for so long! He's even open to Schwartz staying on as DC which is telling that he knows a good thing and doesn't want to change what's already working unlike Marrone who would change something that was working because it wasn't his idea and someone else would get credit for it. He's gonna be a fan favorite and will give us the opportunity at players to come to Buffalo that otherwise wouldn't.

No one else finds Sexton being Rex agent funny? The details of the contract are still being worked out. It's not official yet but it's a done deal. Funny that Sexton represents Rex, Marrone and Schwartz.
BillsZubaz Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 he was also blown out, and destroyed by the Bills the last three games.. Yes, but the circumstances need to be taken into consideration... He was coaching a lame duck team with subpar talent. Talent on the field can make marginal coaches look better and likewise can make a good coach look bad/marginal. Rex Ryan is a good coach.
