I don't hate him, but he's been out of coaching for a decade for a reason. He did some good things for the team, I get it, but they were short lived and Rex struggled to adapt to the modern game. Sure, he's one of the better coaches in the history of the Jets, but that bar is so low.
I said the same thing about getting Rodgers albeit without the analogy. Hiring Rex is going to be like doing cocaine. It’s going to be a fun ride at first but is definitely a bad long term decision.
He can also trick you because he has a way with words. I remember not liking the hire in Buffalo, and then I heard his press conferences and I got fooled. The proof was ultimately in the pudding, and he proved that he’s all talk and no action. He thinks that by saying “we’re tough” and saying “we’re gonna do this” that it’s all you have to do and seems to put no effort into seeing those things happen metrically. It was reported in Buffalo he was a last one in, first one out guy. But he can sure fire everyone up for a short period of time.
we as jets fans are embarrassing ourselves and the rest of fans by even contemplating bringing this guy back. the last 4 years he was here were a joke, the end was embarrassing and the love for sancheezalini was absurd. he then went to buffalo and sucked there too. then he couldnt manage to get a job the past what 8 years. stop you sound like idiots championing for this buffoon. please stop doing it. the fact he is on tv all the time talking about it is absurd.
This team has been a bad heroin nod out for 15 years. I’ll take the figurative cocaine at this point.
So is every decision that has been made since Rex Ryan. What's the difference? At least I would have SOME fun out of the deal. Some entertainment as a fan. As sad as it is, that's all I'm looking for right now. Is a bump. We've been rock bottom for closer to two decades now. That's literally insane. I don't see how he makes things worse than they are at this point.
This bluster coming from the man who named Santonio Holmes team captain. Discipline mattered little that day.
The profile of the players Tanny picked from Mangini to Rex was just night and day. There’s no doubt Rex had a major hand in who was drafted. That’s because Tannenbaum was a numbers guy who had no clue on identifying talent, so he leaned heavily on the coaches.
I’m not defending Rex cause I agree he has his issues no doubt but I don’t think Santonio Holmes would ever blow off minicamp to party in Egypt
Rex is gonna sit down with Rodgers and tell him it’s gonna be his way or go retire and let the history of your legacy forever be tainted with what was the last 2 years. He’s the only one that could actually be the alpha personality needed to keep Rodgers in line and players respectful. If we’re keeping Rodgers, Rex is the right guy. Also won’t feel bad firing him in 2 years when it all blows up.
Why? I mean, let's face it. He couldn't close the deal and left the team worse off than when he found it AND he's sat around a whole decade becoming even LESS clued in to the league. He couldn't "fix" the Jets problems when he was here the first time so what makes you think he's going to fix it now? Final thought. I don't know if everyone is as angry AT Ryan as much as they are tired of all the bullshit that W. Johnson has been peddling these last 20 or so years and all Ryan promises to bring is a clown show. And, we've ALL had ENOUGH of the clown show.
