Lurker Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 A coach with swagger. I like the pick Gregg-o worked out well with that, IIRC...
The Dean Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 A coach with swagger. I like the pick Swagger, on the way to a four win season, is a bad look on anyone. Bills fans complain that Marrone had a big ego, but his ego is peanut size compared to Rex's.
RuntheDamnBall Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Gregg-o worked out well with that, IIRC...hadn't ever been a head coach tho. Hasn't again since. Telling.
Ontario51 Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Actually thought he would go to Atlanta but this is VERY GOOD !

Bills fans complain that Marrone had a big ego, but his ego is peanut size compared to Rex's. Perhaps, but in a very self-aware fashion. He knows football is entertainment and tries to make it fun.
Beerball Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Him being a good player was irrelevant to my point. What do you want me to say?if that's the case then you don't have a point, or it's diluted because you're removing players who don't fit it.

Yes, but there is ego that rubs people around you the wrong way (like Marrone) and there is ego where the players love you (like Rex). I'm okay with the latter.
Lurker Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 hadn't ever been a head coach tho. Hasn't again since. Telling. Swagger is as swagger does. I'm trying to think of a sucessful HC that fits that mold, as opposed to the stoic, in control types...
voodoo poonani Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Perhaps, but in a very self-aware fashion. He knows football is entertainment and tries to make it fun. When we're losing, it is never fun.
PromoTheRobot Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Love the Venture Bros. Sgt. Hatred = Rex. BTW new VB this summer.
Kelly the Dog Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Swagger is as swagger does. I'm trying to think of a sucessful HC that fits that mold, as opposed to the stoic, in control types... Pete Carroll
Beerball Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Some really bitter, dour personalities around this place.that moniker has fit all of us (yourself included) from time to time.
Deranged Rhino Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Well, I'm no Rex fan but it is hard to argue he wasn't the top "name" coach available. Dad was a HC, he and Rob top DC and Rex, as you say, was a HC in NYC. So yes, he is a top name. But that's just saying he is the biggest celebrity, not the best coach. I see this as Pegula trying to make a big, un-Bills like, move. The only thing is, it is a very Bills-like move in that they once-again hired a failed HC. This time they just paid a lot of money for one with a "big name". Hopefully this isn't a mistake. If it is, hopefully Pegula learns from it. I'm kind of on the same page as you. I've always found him entertaining and loved his defenses, but he never wowed me as a HC. But I also have never really spent much time thinking about him coming here. Now that he's here, I'm warming up to what he brings specifically to this team. The first, and most important might be what it says about the new ownership. They're not going to be afraid to spend. And I think that's going to resonate throughout the league a bit, and players will take note too. No idea what he's going to be like in Buffalo, I'm still absorbing the news. Still, the more I think about it and the more I look at the roster, I can't help but feel the team is -- at the very least -- better with Rex at the helm than it was just a few weeks ago. So, I'll take it.
TheFunPolice Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Exactly!! And we all know how much The Ryans "love" other couples..... I don't get it...
Deranged Rhino Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 I don't get it... Of course you don't, you're the "Fun" Police.
ExWNYer Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 As per multiple reports, the Bills are about to make REX RYAN our next head coach! Check out @AdamSchefter's Tweet: https://twitter.com/AdamSchefter/status/554260843752591360?s=09 Wawrow says Rex has accepted: http://www.miamiherald.com/news/business/article6006912.html
Lurker Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Pete Carroll IMO, Carroll's enthusiastic, not a prick. It's a nuance, to be sure, but I don't get the sense of ego / swing'n dick that sexy Rexy gives off...
Beerball Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 HA! Finally they pick my pick! WELCOME REX we're doomed
