Rex is out of his league, should be fired, but probably won't be. I don't expect much to change while he's here.
Rex has made numerous mistakes in judgment this year. Any of them could and would get him fired. Except we're talking about the NY Jets. The bar is low on this team. But forget the shitty decisions. To me, the way the team layed down last week was just terrible. That may be the biggest indictment on this coaching staff.
"Rex is the best coach we've had since Parcells"....That's like being the tallest midget in the circus, Who f'in cares?...Have you noticed how he has lost the locker room, the QB mess & what a joke the Jets have become again under his watch?...Fire all of this incompetent bunch...:drunk:
I wouldn't go so far as to say Rex is a great coach. I'm not sure I think he should be fired, though. He's a good defensive coach with no offensive clue. This will never change. If we bring in an "up and coming OC" we are screwed. We need an established guy. I would like to see Rex be given 1 more year.
Almost everyone is in agreement that Rex is a good coach, (not great, good) however, the number of people supporting him drops substantially when you talk about him being a good head coach. Newsflash:Rex is our head coach He should get judged on that, and that alone.
11-8, 13-6, 8-8, 6-9. I would say that's good considering we had one of them most turnover prone Qbs in the league, we haven't invested in our OL since 2010 draft, we don't have a single gamebreaker on offense, we haven't invested in LB since Rex got here, we haven't invested in S until this season. Pretty good job as HC. Most of the problems seem to be lack of talent.
I still belive in Rex, I just don't belive in the philosphy he wants on offense, Ground and Pound isn't gonna work with the players we have on offense. We need a new philosophy and a new OC. Rex will get one more year to turn things around and I think he deserves it fuck everyone who thinks we should fire him. The people who think we should fire Rex don't know shit about the NFL
Then the question becomes what is causing the constant decline? It seemed to me lack of talent more than lack of coaching. Lack of depth also.
Well yes, it's always going to be a combination. I think the main factor has been coming from the FO not the coaching or execution, so I would place more blame on the FO for that then Rex or the players. While the players are subpar I feel like we are forcing players into roles above their talent level because of the FO lack of depth or just picking the wrong players.
Rex spent his entire career building top defenses with coaching skills and the best players he could get on his side of the ball. All's he's ever wanted from an offense is to control the ball and don't turn it over, and he'll do the rest. As the Jets' HC, that's all he's ever asked for from his OC. Control the ball and DON'T TURN IT OVER. Mark turned the ball over 50 times in the last 2 seasons, the most in the NFL. That's 50 more times his Defense had to take the field. And even with all those extra yards, Rex's defense still ended up in the top 5 every years. What Rex has taken to long to figure out it's not enough to give his OC marching orders, "control the damn ball and DO NOT turn it over". Maybe he'll have to spend some of his precious draft pics on the O. Maybe he'll have to do more than 'sit in on a few O meetings'. Maybe he'll have to do more than make color codes for his rookie QB. Business as usual is no long an option. Rex finally can't deny that if he's to give his defense any chance, and thus the Jets, he's going to have to spend as much time developing his offense as he spends developing his defense.
My biggest problem is that Rex has forced his MO and philosophy on this team and it has indirectly hurt the offense due to that lack of urgency on that side of the ball. He is a great defensive coach, no doubt. But he is a HEAD Coach, a coach of an entire team- which includes offense, defense and STs. Things like, "A wide receiver? Not My dream pick" is not the type of attitude a HC should have... When your offense is this bad, any additional talent should be your dream pick. Your job depends on it.
Rex is not the worst coach but he definitely not good HEAD coach. The team's record isn't as good of an indicator of coach's skill as you think it might be. To make my point as Rex has gained more experience and is a better head coach then when he first got here but his record has declined. So let's take the record out of the equation (good or bad). There has been a number of situations that illustrate that he isn't a good head coach. I don't feel like itemizing these. On the whole Jets fans who create these type of threads are biased towards Rex because he took us to two playoffs in a short period of time. For a team with so little success any tiny achievement sends a Jets coach to our Hall of Fame. For years now people have been using those two playoff appearances as a shield any sort of criticism. I feel a lot of reasons for that short term success was over spending by Tanny and a little luck from other teams that allowed us in. You have to live in the present and judge players and coaches by what they do NOW not what they achieved in the past. The offense has been the laughing stock of the NFL for years. This isn't anything new and looks to never change under Rex. I don't have an axe to grind, plain and simple he needs to go. I doubt Rex will ever get HC position after he finishes up here
I might stop being a Jet fan for the next 10 years,I don't wanna watch us rebuild again and again every 4 years. I think we will see a new Rex next season, he doesn't strike me as the kinda of guy that is ok with this kinda shit. By Benching Sanchez it was a step in the right direction, The orginization as a whole drafted Sanchez Woody,Mr.T,Rex and whoever else so they all need to take some blame for where Sanchez went wrong
I had a problem with that, but looking at Sanchez now, ground and pound might have been to hide him. I mean the G&P took place his rookie year and after the horrible 3rd year. In between we did believe in running more but still had a decent enough passing attack. The G&P seemed to be a reaction to hiding Sanchez or making it easier on Sanchez than enforcing it on the offense. MAybe I'm giving him too much credit, but I don't remember it much in year 2 or 3 except when the passing game struggled and Rex wanted to go back to G&P to counter Schotty at times
We havent gone through a legit rebuild in a while simply because Woody doesnt want to face the facts. A real rebuild might do this franchise good. In fact, with the right GM and plan I think it will do a lot of good. Hovering as a 500. team does nothing.
