stony Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Love Giroud. One of my favourite players at the club. Just 8 short of his century now. I keep telling you and you keep disbelieving me... I am not a natural critic... this is very much a specific Rex Ryan thing and long pre-dates his arrival here. He is a bad Head Football Coach. Period. Walk onnn, walk onnnnnnn, with hopppeee in your heartttt. #YNWA Come to think of it, that song should replace Shout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPS Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 This isn't really news but yeah it was obvious to me pretty quickly what was going on. The first sign was the ridiculous amount of coaches he was hiring. No leader who is determined to get results wants more managers than they need. He hired so many people because he was willing to let them do the work and wasn't going to lose any sleep over winning and losing after a trying, constantly criticized term in NY. i always thought he was just taking advantage of pegula's $ and hiring his buddies and brother.

hondo in seattle Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Sal C. just now on WGR 550 said he was talking to someone inside the Bills organization who has been there forever. The contact said Rex Ryan was the latest in/earliest to leave HC he has ever seen. Makes sense. The team didn't seem prepared on some Sundays. Thought it was an interesting comment. There's been rumors about this for a while now from unnamed sources. I've heard that Rex just didn't work as hard as he once did. And that opened up the door for his brother to gain in influence/power - influence and power that didn't help the defense succeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1st Ammendment NoMas Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Rex was a waste of two years of our lives. He took the franchise backwards after finally moving toward respectability. That is hard to swallow for die-hard Bills fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 earliest to live... pretty much sums it up. eating wings and being a fat worthless schmuck is a helluva way to live life. But doing it while getting 25 mil!!! Now that is a well executed life strategy. As someone, who like many on this board I'm sure, was brought up as a hard worker in a blue collar town... I sensed early in Rex's tenure that he was just a lazy con man that rode the right coat tails and it was core to my disdain for him as the coach of this team.

CardinalScotts Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Another great story by Sal. Did Rex dump him or something? This is childish. Imo do you read TBN they are all stories like this CHILDISH yes...not Sal TBN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BADOLBILZ Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 i always thought he was just taking advantage of pegula's $ and hiring his buddies and brother. Yes the 5 year deal was a disincentive, IMO. They overcompensated for years of the team being cheap wrt coaching. That whole approximately 8 month period of time from Rex being hired thru Dareus' extension was riddled with overpayments, unnecessary adjustments and poor decisions regarding clauses and guarantees etc..

White Linen Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 There's no question about it his fire to coach left him with the Jets. You could see it and feel it. I think he tried to get it back but it didn't come. Being an NFL coach is a grind - heck my 12 year olds travel baseball coach goes through some serious crap and has dedicated ridiculous amounts of time to the team. If the thrill is gone - it's gone away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billieve420 Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 I think it was reported that Rex handed over the reigns of the defense to his brother this year. Rex didn't appear to be someone who was fighting to save his job. Rex doubled down on his brother and lost hoping for the best with McDermott.

DDD Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 No surprise here on Rex not being dedicated. He was full of crap with the "we're all in" line. He ripped Pegula off big time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't rip off Pegula----Pegula ripped himself off. It was a ridiculous hire. The contract length and terms were obscene for a coach who lost more games than he won and who was recently fired. Rex didn't hustle Pegula--- he hustled himself. Even for a billionaire this was a costly mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GG Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 I am going to let you guys have at it. You seem to be enjoying yourselves. I will stand by what I posted up thread. Just a question. What's it going to take for you to admit that hiring Rex was a monumental mistake by Pegula? All the little signs and hints over the last two years are certainly coming into focus, and it all points to Rex completely mailing it in. It's almost as bad as Marrone quitting.

Doc Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to go through life, son. But it's a great way to go through college! Man I loved that shirt. Wish I still had it. He didn't rip off Pegula----Pegula ripped himself off. It was a ridiculous hire. The contract length and terms were obscene for a coach who lost more games than he won and who was recently fired. Rex didn't hustle Pegula--- he hustled himself. Even for a billionaire this was a costly mistake. Sure he ripped Pegs off. Regardless of the contract, Rex had an obligation to earn every penny of it.
