JohnC Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 Sure he ripped Pegs off. Regardless of the contract, Rex had an obligation to earn every penny of it. The owner hired the same coach he fired. Some coaches work 100 hrs a week. Other coaches work 40 hours a week. Some coaches are fully engaged with the players while other coaches are very aloof. Some coaches delegate more and others less. Was Rex ever associated with the word discipline? No. Was Rex ever associated with the word smart? No. He was associated with words such as bombastic, blubbery fool, obnoxious, chaos, antics, stubbornly inflexible, underachieving etc.etc. The owner hired a huckster who during his stint with the Jets had a losing record and a concluding 4 win season. He bought the bullshiiit that the dumpster fire he left in NY was due to others. No matter what was attempted to prop up this talkative fool it wasn't going to work. When you hire an incompetent you get an incompetent. You don't have to do a deep analysis to determine what happened here. Whether Rex worked 100 hours a week or 20 it doesn't matter. The owner got what he bought; he got what he deserved. It was the boss's ridiculous mistake that he rectified by firing him after the second season of watching chaos on the field.
2020 Our Year For Sure Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 (edited) I think you're giving Marrone credit for Schwartz' defensive schemes. Marrone's gift was that he hired two successful D coordinators and empowered them. Yes I am, Marrone is responsible for Schwartz being here. Marrone also had his team as a whole disciplined and ready to earn their checks and compete every week. Less penalties, less injuries, more honest effort, harder practices. And then Marrone punted again... From the 36! Edited January 20, 2017 by 2018 Our Year For Sure
eball Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 How little did we know that Brandon's "don't let him leave the building" comment to Terry Pegula was actually a warning about Rex's work hours?

Augie Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 I would have beaten you to this, but I am emoji poor! . (I can't find them here, but it's obvious on my hoops board- life's little mysteries...)
LabattBlue Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 Hard hitting reporting by Sal. Where was he with this breaking story when Rex was still employed by the Bills. He's around the team a lot, he couldn't form this conclusion by himself 6 months ago?
Gordio Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 That is a good point. It is interesting and sad that someone inside the organization still seems to be paranoid and looking over his shoulder at Rex - so much so that this person is leaking yet another story to the media - I guess Jason LaCanfora was not available this time. Watch the games. It was pretty obvious that this team was not prepared for many of the contests. What is more disturbing more times than not the big national televised games for some reason the team looked more prepared which tells me Rex took these games more serious. The 2nd NE game on Monday Night his first year here & the Seatle game on Monday night this come immediately to mind. Even though the Bills lost those games, they played with a purposed & looked prepared on both those occassions. Looking back I think the obvious conclusion is Rex was in it for the paycheck & stole millions off the Pegula's for him & his fat f*ck brother.

Dirtbag Posted January 21, 2017 Posted January 21, 2017 Hard hitting reporting by Sal. Where was he with this breaking story when Rex was still employed by the Bills. out getting new batteries for his wahl goatee groomer. sal is great. he reports anything the bills tell him as fact without ever considering the reason the information is being shared with him.
iinii Posted January 21, 2017 Posted January 21, 2017 I thought of that connection too. I don't think we'll see Rex as a coach again. First, no one is going to hire him. Second, he doesn't have it in him to live that lifestyle anymore, apparently. No but he's got the money
8-8 Forever? Posted January 21, 2017 Posted January 21, 2017 (edited) I am not a big fan of this thinking. Some people who are early in and late to leave are simply inefficient. Not saying Rex was, but time in a desk chair doesn't mean squat to me. Could he not be reviewing tape on an iPad at his house? can't blame a guy for not wanting to work 80 hour weeks. who in their right mind with a personal life to manage wants to do that? recipe for disaster. He probably figured Pegs was one last bite of the apple, get a pile of assistants to do the heavy lifting he didn't want to do anymore and go from there. almost worked, the injuries, the old school defense and the Pats ruined the plan. oh well, for a guaranteed 25mil it was worth a shot, now on to TV and fun. guy did what he could tolerate. Hell, Tony Dungy's kid killed himself cuz dad was never around and Cowher's wife died before he could return to her from his 100hr football work weeks. Not exactly sure Rex is living his life incorrectly. His priorities may be pretty balanced. Edited January 21, 2017 by 8and8-->NoMore
iinii Posted January 21, 2017 Posted January 21, 2017 Sure he ripped Pegs off. Regardless of the contract, Rex had an obligation to earn every penny of it. Poor Pegs. Such a sad story, mean old Rex took his money and didn't work very hard.
Doc Posted January 21, 2017 Posted January 21, 2017 Poor Pegs. Such a sad story, mean old Rex took his money and didn't work very hard. I'm not feeling sorry for Pegs. He hired him and the salary is a drop in the bucket for him.
BarleyNY Posted January 21, 2017 Posted January 21, 2017 Rex's inattention to detail says otherwise.. That was my first thought, too.
