    I didn't say they were going to make him an offer; my argument isnt dependent on making things up to justify it. You're argument is dependent in filling in blanks with supposition which is why it is a weak argument. You don't know if the Falcons wouldn't have offered him the job after concluding the interview process after more candidates were explored, but you jump to the conclusion that they wouldn't have simply because Rex took the Bills job before they did so.

    Rex didn't develop beyond the emotional leader of the team. He could always motivate emotionally. But I think the stat that shows how little Rex developed as a head coach is his record after bye weeks: The Jets never seemed to come out focused or intense. A really good coach relies as much on his game planning and execution as he does getting his team motivated. Offensively, they never seemed able to dictate any tempo or threaten the opponents defense much. Part of that was likely the Ground and Pound personality. But one would think that there would be some wrinkles shown that could result in big plays. Sadly, there weren't any.

    When a coach leaves town without a contract the blueprints are really setup for the fact that he won't be coaching there. There were also reports out of Atlanta that he would not be offered a contract due to conflicting opinions between the owner and general manager on him.

    All we can go on is what's actually reported. The closest indication of these reports were on the side of the fact that they were not going to offer him a contract. I'm interested as to where I'm making things up?
