I did not really follow the jets as deeply then as I do now so Im wondering if the reaction to him being appointed head coach was as glowing as super bowles has been. it seems everyone in the media is gushing over him right now and applauding the jets on the signing. even respected members of football media who are not normally extra complementary seem to be in approval. I am myself happy with the signing since I'am of the mindset that most ex-head coaches are ex-head coaches for a reason and a successful coordinator/ college coach was the way to go, and im also happy the jets will keep their toughness on D that we were accustomed to seeing with rex.
i was very excited.. go back and listen to rex ryans introduction presser….he got you really pumped
And he basically played a recording of that press conference in with a Bills hat on at his latest introduction.
The media was positive when Rex was hired (the common wisdom being that he would have got a job a year earlier but his weight scared owners away because they want a guy who looks like Mitt Romney as the face of their franchise) and that he was either the best (or second best, after Belichick) defensive mind in the game.
The NY media was giddy about his appointment because the guy had very solid results/pedigree, but more so because it was obvious right from that first press conference that he was going to make their lives multiple times easier during his tenure.
Yea there was nothing like it,it was so diffrent then anything we were used to seeing especially after Mangini....it was a great moment
If he wins a Superbowl over there one day its gonna be brutal to watch and it will haunt the franchise for a very long time.Revis is now a Patriot,Rex is coach of the Bills,Mr.T is VP of Football Ops for the Dolphins,Nothing like stability
Negative?There isn't another division in Football where the former Head Coach,Best Player in Franchise History,and former GM all now work for three diffrent divison rival teams.What does that tell you about this franchise?I was listening to Jon Mara on Francesa today and couldn't help but wonder what it would be like if the Jets had a owner that belived in continuity and not reacting to the fan base at the end of every season
It was like Christmas morning They could not believe such a loud mouth moron fell into their laps and made their miserable jobs so fun and easy
Yeah, I'm not gonna miss that act...or Mr. T either. Fuck 'em both. Welcome MacCagnan & Bowles they can't do any worse. Maybe they'll "get to meet the President" Frick & Frack never did Godspeed Mac & Super Bowles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i remember it.. he got me so pumped...almost like we signed a huge free agent or drafted a top player.... but it didnt work, it was fun tho
the media was receptive of rex for sure...but it was more hype and quotes than anything. The Bowles hire is being applauded from a football perspective.
The Rex hiring was liked by the media because of all the sound bites, but there was also a lot of skepticism and criticism of his ability to be a HC. I have not heard a single negative thing about Bowles
Don't your worry your little head about Mr. Fullofsh*t winning a Super Bowl in his lifetime. Amazing how someone can go from a lousy HC for years and then go to a new team with the same line of bullsh*t.
