Honestly, I'll admit I was excited at first with the ground and pound, winning, playoffs, etc. but look where we are now. This is coming from a 30 year fan desperate for some success and a SB win in my lifetime. However, that early success was done with Mangini's players and now I realize this current debacle of an organization is the logical conclusion of Rex's philosophy. What do I mean by that? Well, the Jets are a mistake ridden, utterly punchless team that is truly an embarrassment. The ongoing neglect of the offense has produced the most inept team I think I've ever watched. Rex's post game pressers are always the same BS and his constant mismanagement of timeouts and the clock is a joke. If he doesn't get it by now he'll never get it. The fundamental concept of scoring points completely eludes him. Was there any question the Jets would blow that Pats game yesterday? Field goal after field goal, once they happen to score one TD I guess the coaches figure that's enough. The vaunted D looks good on paper but I've lost count of the times when a stop was needed and never happened (just about any 3rd and long for example). Anyway, good luck to him elsewhere and lets get someone who can run a team properly. Just wish I had some faith in Woody to actually make the right pick.......
I won't miss wasting 2 more timeouts when you need them in the 2nd half, 3rd and 7 run to setup chipshot FG, undisciplined penalties every game
Kerley dropped td pass yesterday. ...but yeah, farewell Rex. And don't forget to kiss the rings*. Came in like a lion, went out like a lamb.
Yesterday was the perfect send off for Rex. Showed his top notch defensive coaching ability, and his terrible coaching ability in EVERY OTHER AREA. Bye.
Until the time when a new coaching staff will be put in place and perhaps a new GM, there's no reason to get excited about knocking this current regime. Look at what has happened with the Knicks when Jackson brought in Derek Fisher? Derek Who? That's what I said to myself the moment he was chosen for a team in a major market area. The team is destined to get a top 6 pick at least, like the Jets. You don't bring in a wet-behind-the-ears unproven commodity from no-where-ville to a place like NY/NJ to coach a team covered by tons of media paparazzi and fans gnashing their teeth. And I don't care how well that person was successful as a coordinator for whatever team. It doesn't always transpose to being a head coach. Maybe perhaps a successful college team.....but lets not forget Lou Holtz. That being said, Jets should just hand Jim Harbaugh an open check book and allow him to call the shots, though his wife may be a big influence in swaying him to stay on the West coast.
After 6 seasons of offense that gives you 14-17 points a game, I will not miss Rex one bit. Good riddance. He got the team as far as it could go, but has the set the organization years backwards in terms of developing QB and offense. And in today's game, he couldn't get his D to the level of the Seahawks despite the myriad first round talent he was given so his supposed defensive genius was in fact way outdone by another organization during his reign. Sorry Rex, back to DC for you
Everybody bashed Mangini on his way out. He was a good talent evaluator, he drafted Revis and Joe Haden. Nick Mangold and Alex Mack. Brick Ferguson and TJ Ward. He was never as bad as advertised, I think he'd be a good GM.
Only diffrence is his players hated him he isn't a good coach.He's a good evaluator but a mediocre coach at best
His defense skills are so elite he even makes plays for the other team. edit: found one. http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/blog/sh...n-kicker-in-loss-to-cardinals?urn=nfl,wp13166
we deserve Rich Kotite or Bruce Coslet. The man will be gone, how about having a little appreciation for a guy who only had 2 losing seasons and got us closer to the SB than at any point since Jan. 12, 1969.
RR is an idiot with timeouts but he obviously called the time out because the play clock was running down......... We had to do that to stay in realistic FG range. Now why were they not ready to kick it in time? That's the problem.
Imo it turns out the Jets were not a great match for Ryan. By that I mean i think he could succeed with a team that has an established, decent Qb and enough players on D to put something together. He'll add enough of a running game to the Qb, and if he can play man coverage at the corners, presto you have a winning team. But he's a poor judge of Qb talent, and can't develop one. That was his downfall with the Jets.
We don't often talk about it here, but special teams have been mostly awful this year. Folk was great until he got injured, and Quigley looked bad earlier but has been pretty good lately. But for hte most part, special teams have been truly bad. That's another failure on Ryan's part.
