If Rex were to get fired, he never had a chance this year. And all Jets fans should be pissed as this shows Idzik had to keep Rex a year to save Woody money. We should call for Woody's head.
I don't think Rex was ever going to get fired. Idzik does not want to give him an extension, and I agree with him. Rex blew that smoke up the media's ass in a game of chicken with Idzik, trying to force his hand extend or fire. He doesn't want to look like the ass and walk out on the Jets. Idzik should stick to his guns and not extend Rex.
@BobGlauber: Woody Johnson announces Rex Ryan will be retained in 2014. Rich Cimini @RichCimini 34s Woody: Rex is back. boom goes the dynamite
Westoff seems to think they will just make him coach out his contact and extend him during the season if they perform.
Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter 12s Jets owner Woody Johnson announced his team will retain HC Rex Ryan.
If this is true -- This is exactly the problem with the Jets. Woody should not be announcing anything, if we have a GM that is making the decisions - apparently we do not.
No I do not -- it has just been my speculation all along of why what was leaked out last week was leaked. Idzik - "We are not going to extend you, Rex" Rex's interpretation to media -- I'm gettting fired (won't be back)
Jane McManus @janesports 31s Woody Johnson said Rex Ryan knew he would remaon as Jets head coach before today's game. #jets #nfl Kimberley A. Martin @KMart_LI 32s John Idzik says Rex is tremendous to work with. Said he "always made the assumption" he and Rex were in this together #jets
3-2 in December. 2 game winning streak at the end. Back-to-back wins for the first time all season. Lots of goodness late for the Jets which is a marked change from the last two seasons. They beat the Fins too. Rex can stay.
According to report I read on TGG pop up news ticker thing Idzik wants rex to make changes on defensive coaching staff
