Rex Ryan was hired as the Bills coach 10 years ago today....

January 12, 2015

 

In reality Rex was only here 2 years ago and his time at this point is largely forgivable and forgettable to me.  I saw that and it's just kind of a moment me realizes how far this team came since then.  Now 5 AFC East conference titles in a row and a consistent threat in the playoffs.  I mean even down 7-0 today I wasn't stressed in the slightest.

 

Rex- I'll admit I did like that hire at the time but wasn't sold on him.  I wasn't lurking these boards at the time but I found it hilarious now 95% of the former BBMB like loved that hire in real time.  

 

And in reality when Josh was drafted I think it was mainly 50/50 around here?  It's amusing to see fans that edited their opinion of Josh on that draft thread from 2018.

Was never a fan of Rex but given the defense we had that he walked in on and his history of success with Sanchez & Co. we probably all expected better. 
 

What a dysfunctional disaster that hiring was lol

I remember getting a call from a Jets fan friend. When a Jets fan feels bad for you, times are bad. Dude is such a fraud....

Played Russ Brandon (and the Pegulas) like a fiddle to the tune of $27.5M.

I thought Rex would be a good hire. He had beat the Pats in the playoffs. His resume was decent and most importantly, I thought Rex would bring some gravitas to the franchise that had at that stage become a place that nobody wanted to play for. He ended up being an absolute joke. From his disorganized playcalling and clueless in game decisions to hiring his useless brother and having that team preacher giving him advice on the sideline. He titillated us with ending the playoff drought but in the end failed miserably.

Lousy coach. Sweet truck with Bills wrap.

I bought my season tickets a month or so after he was announced as head coach.  Between the Pegulas buying the team and Rex being named head coach I had a lot of faith in our future.

 

I was partially right…

The best thing I can say about Wrecks is that his suckitude is indirectly responsible for the Bills drafting Allen.

Is this thing on?

I remember forcing myself to like the hire, but deep down I knew it was a mistake. All it took was week 2 against the Patriots to confirm it was a mistake.

remember when we employed BOTH of these fools?
