Jamie Nails 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? Welcome to the internet age. It's done- these things take time.
TallskiWallski83 Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Its a great hire because he knows how to scheme against Brady. We arent ending our playoff drought until we man up and beat New England.Rex knows how to do it.
TC in St. Louis Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Love this hire. A real football coach!! Players love him, and he will guide us to the greatness the fans truly deserve. Historic moment.
PastaJoe Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Rex must have been impressed by Kim Pegula's feet.
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 I think the allure more comes from him being to two AFC championship games 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... I am a bit concerned over this too. Though I believe the NFL has an edict that teams don't make coaching hire announcements on the days of playoff games as they want all the attention on the games being played and nothing else. 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? Isn't Rex's wife name also Kim?? Rex must have been impressed by Kim Pegula's feet.
plenzmd1 Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 I think NFL has a gag order on playoff days That could be..did not think about that. I am in sales...and this just feels like "yep, CEO has it on desk, just need his rubber stamp sig"...only to hear later that day"CEO doesn't want to spend the money right now"
Punch Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 (edited) @sammywatkins: Can't wait gotta love REX RYAN 💯💯💯 http://t.co/FpEPW9H1kk @EWood70: Love the hire! Edited January 11, 2015 by Punch
Jerry Jabber Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Oh good! Can't wait to have an offense that can't get the WRs the ball, doesn't know how to use a stud TE, and needs either the QB or RB to get 150 yards on the ground to be successful. Yep, the last thing the Bills need are coaches that have been to the Superbowl, NFC Championship Games, and AFC Championship Games. We're doomed!
Adam Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Yep, the last thing the Bills need are coaches that have been to the Superbowl, NFC Championship Games, and AFC Championship Games. We're doomed! Jets have declined each year under him.
yungmack Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Ryan's tenure with the Jets began very positively then went downhill. Why? I think he was undermined by an eccentric owner and an incompetent FO that did a terrible job with the cap and an even worse one of retaining or replacing key talent. There seems to have been no coherent sense of direction for the long term or to put it another way, no stable sense of organizational identity. Although Ryan wouldn't have been my first choice, I believe we will see "early Jets" Rex because I believe in the Bills organization's clarity of direction, and the emerging sense of a new identity that is strong and coherent in the style of the Steelers, in which the FO will be in sync with the HC and fully supportive of his plans. And, yes, that means I believe in Whaley being a keystone to this happening, and that the Pegulas are as thoughtful and intelligent as they appear to be.
Since 1972 Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 We have a coach who has actually beaten Belichick in Foxboro in the playoffs with a bad QB. How anyone could be against this is beyond me. Phooney Maroone just beat the Pats with a bad QB, did he not?
plenzmd1 Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 So i am listening to GR as i cannot get enough of this while i have the game on.....but lord i hate Paul Hamilton...what to do????
Reed83HOF Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Rex must have been impressed by Kim Pegula's feet.
stevestojan Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 So to the detractors, if you were asked 3 weeks ago if you would trade Marrone for Rex, would you have said "no way" or "in a !@#$ing heartbeat." The insane no offset out-clause in St. Doug's contract could very well have just turned the Bills into a top 10 NFL team with nothing but upside. The players universally love playing for this guy. He's got HC experience, not another experiment with a college guy or a good coordinator. He'll bring some media attention, which can only be good for FA pickups. He led the jets to back to back AFC championship games!!! I swear if we could bring in Lombardi people would complain that the game has passed him. I'm so pumped for this hire.
G-Daddy Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Does this mean Russ is out because he didn't get his choices, the Shannys?
Reed83HOF Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 So i am listening to GR as i cannot get enough of this while i have the game on.....but lord i hate Paul Hamilton...what to do???? I stopped listening
Beerball Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Anything short of resurrecting Vince Lombardi and making him our coach and people are going to B word, and even then, there would be detractors. I am glad to see that the Pegulas are willing to go out and pay top dollar for coaches who are highly respected in the NFL. There is a negative to any available candidate but this is a pretty bold statement. I believe this will help the Bills attract free agents.i think the game has passed Lombardi by. I would not be behind that hire.
Lurker Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 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. Agree on both points....
Jerry Jabber Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Jets have declined each year under him. He has wins against the Pats, especially a playoff win at Gillette stadium. The Jets defense has held the Pats offense to an average of 270 yards over the past four match ups. With keeping Schwartz and bringing in Greg Roman, I feel very confident that Ryan will have success in Buffalo.
