While it’s still coveted to be a head coach, it’s not like it was say ten years ago when we all used to say “well there’s only 32 jobs in the world.” It’s true but coordinator are now making into the millions and for the younger ones they understand they probably only get one crack at a head coaching job maybe two but both cracks at it are likely dogshit positions. There’s also a boatload of jobs in college that pay well for coordinators and head coaches too. A young talented QB, a pick to get a young talented QB and an owner that leaves you the fuck alone are musts. The Jets don’t offer any of those three.
If Rex learned from his mistakes I don't think this would be as bad as people are making it out to be. He needs to know he's not good at picking players and shouldn't be able to. If he understands that he will have learned. 2009, 2010, 2013 Rex did a pretty good job with the rosters he had. 2011 should have made the playoffs. 2012 and 2014 he had no chance of making the playoffs with those rosters. So really one season he underperformed with what he was working with which was 2011. Three seasons he overachieved and two were par for the course. Being out of the league for so many years is probably his biggest issue.
No “Rodgers Country Club” but there will be “Sauce Island” .. or maybe it will be called “Gardners Garden”
That's funny coming from the guy who ran his own country club the first time he was here. What a moron.
There, changed that one. I can't even stomach the thought of Ryan back. We only "think" we're the laughing stock of the NFL. It really could be Carolina right now. However, Ryan shows up as the next HC, that laughing stock moniker will have been solidified squarely on the NY Jets. What in the flying fuck is going on in that building??
Rex would be a disaster as head coach of this team. His style of coaching the game was outdated when he was head coach and it's more outdated now. I have a better idea. Put him in the stands and he can be a Jets cheerleader. Like Firemen Ed.
Maybe they just want to honor Rex to shut him up. If they hire him as head coach, then they are beyond help and beyond hope.
Rex has more playoff wins than Parcells and Herm combined. And he did it all on the road with Mark Sanchez...
Rex aint wrong, the Woody's were so giddy and mesmerized by Ar they did exactly what Ar wanted and gave him who he wanted, he had more power than Baldy and Fatso had even though they both sucked ass and I am glad they were fired although a year to late, don't fool yourself the reason why the Jets went 5-12 this year was because Rodgers is a diva and the Jets wanted to keep Hackett, Lazard and Kinlaw around to appease him, who all sucked ass here. And because Ar wanted to keep Saleh here because he could control his soft ass and another coach wouldn't let Ar do whatever the fuck he wanted like skip mandatory training camp to go see pyramids? You would of thought practicing and gelling with your teammates after you made 40 million dollars to play 4 plays and missed the entire season was more important than seeing some damn pyramids, but no it's AR he got special treatment obviously, and than he had the nerve to show players up and blame his wide receivers for running wrong routes? When he was supposed to be in training camp getting on the same page as his receivers?
This guy is so full of crap. He's a good motivator, but he's an awful head coach and not a disciplinarian, he's a player's coach. If Rex was hired, he'd kiss Rodgers' ass non stop and might even get a Rodgers tattoo.
Agreed regarding Rex saying what Woody wants to hear - but i am surprised by it because I expected the opposite. I assumed Woody would favor a coach who wants to keep Rodgers, and that Rex would feed him that diatribe as a desperation ploy. Rex has to be desperate. It's his only chance, with probably the only NFL owner he could convince to do it.
Someone should ask Rex whether or not the country club would only end for Rodgers or whether it would apply to everyone else, since he basically ran a country club here during his first tenure. I guess, on the plus side, they won't have to spend any money redecorating the building. They can probably dust off the "play like a Jet" signs from storage and start putting them up around the building.
I liked Rex at the time (I even got a signed photo from him lol) but I think his time has passed (and his struggles with the Jets and even more so with the Bills suggest that he isn't the answer)
Personally, I don't hate Rex and I enjoyed his time as head coach of the Jets. Having said that, he wasn't good at his job and his style of play is way outdated. He's not the right guy to lead this team.
