Well, I was ready to write a response that some of our board members are absolutely clueless, but you beat me to it with an excellent come back. Are some of these guys for real? Rex is the real deal and we need him to be our coach for many years to come. Stop this BS of rotating coaching every 2 years. Give him a chance. We have been in the hunt for every single game. We have the pieces, but we knew we had a way to go. Probably next week will be our biggest challenge. You can not blame the coach for everything the players do wrong for heaven's sake. They are put in a position to win if they can execute. Our D let us down...not our coach
Rex sounds like he?s going through menopause. Once he gets through it I suspect the team will be more consistent.
We had a coach last year that always stayed "cool and together" no matter what happened, how did that work out? One of the biggest criticisms of Mangini was his lack of passion, and his team's lack of passion. Ryan is the opposite of that. And lets not make this out to be a common thing with Ryan. Even the players said they were surprised he got so emotional (cried), it was the first time. He cares about the team, the players, and wants to win so he got a little worked up. Good. Hopefully that passion will rub off on this team and they will get their shit together for the end of games. I'd rather have a coach that is emotional and gives a shit, than the opposite.
There is absolutely no chance that either Ryan or Tenenbaum is fired at the end of the season. No chance. No matter how many more games are lost.
He got very emotional and cried after the win against the Pats. This is a pattern. Not that it's a bad thing because it does help to let your players see that you really care about how they perform and how the team does. It is important though for you to let them know you are in control also, and part of that is being in control of yourself. He made some of his players very uncomfortable based on his display yesterday. Guilt is a poor motivator and several of the players sounded almost guilty when they talked about it afterwards. Mangini is not calm, cool and collected. Mangini is more cold and reserved. It's a characteristic that he shares with Bill Belichik, although not a good one. He's not the ice-king that Belichik is, but give him some time to work on that. Belichik was more approachable and less standoffish as a head coach in Cleveland than he has been in New England.
this team started over again this year, granted they are starting over with significantly more pieces than most teams and didn't hit rock bottom, but they are still starting over with a new coach, system, rookie QB and many players. nobody rationale can believe that it may take just one pre-season to put it all together. God forbid we didn't compete for the Super Bowl in a year where we started over.
How does getting emotional after a HUGE win against a hated rival and this constitute a pattern? In any case, I don't mind guilt. You only feel guilty when you give a crap, and in my experience guilt is a powerful motivator. And after the way the defense shit the bed on the final drive, they damn well better feel guilty. Hopefully they will make sure it doesn't happen again. As for Mangini, the point was he is the opposite of Ryan. And his approach didn't work here, and it's not working in Cleveland. So how about we give Ryan more than 9 games before we call for his head?
Lol, last season we start losing and everyone is complaining about how our HC shows no emotion. This season our coach shows emotion and now he's unraveling.
The common denominator? Losing. No matter what, if we lose the guys in charge will be criticized. Fair or not, that's the reality of big market NY sports, it's a bit annoying
Agreed except for the highlighted portion, I'd say year 3 is the do or die year. Year one you learn what your team is lacking so first offseason you try to fill the needs. Year two you develop the guys you brought in to fix year 1's problems, and see what other minor tweaks you need. Year 3 is when you should be expected to legitimately start performing to high expectations as your first year guys should be pretty developed, and your second year fix-up guys should now be a cohesive part of the team. That being said, NY is a tough place to wait 3 years....
What's the big deal, I don't care if he cried at the site of a beautiful sunset like Brendan Frasier did in Bedazzled, the fact is he is a good coach and he is going to learn really fast that he has to be involved in all aspects of the team and not just blindly delegate responsibility. As I learned in my place of employment early on you can delegate responsibility but you cannot delegate accountability. He made it very clear he loves the Jets org and the players, but he also mentioned that he can no longer just drop in every once in a while on offensive and special team meetings, he is going to start asking for some answers and that to me says more about his growth as a coach than anything else. :up:
Just for the record, one of my friends and I had a prop bet about Ryan: Over/Under 12 weeks before Jets fans start seriously calling for his head. I took the over; Jets fans have let me down once again.
This is lunacy. This is an overreaction to over-expectation. You don't fire a rookie head coach led by a rookie QB on the field. If you want to see change in an organization, you don't start cutting off heads with every problem. You don't learn how to correct mistakes without making them.
no need to fire the guy obviously. But I do think hes a complete homo bag for crying. He should have been in there yellin instead of crying like a big fat homo.
