In preparation of a probable loss this weekend, I figured I'd get a head start on a short rant that's been building up over the past couple years from the obvious things you've probably and I have definitely noticed. Things will not change unless you kill the problem from the head down so here it goes.

With Rex, every year and after every game, it's the EXACT same song and dance:

'Belichick is the best coach. It's me vs. him. The division (STILL) runs through them'

'I'm sticking with Mark, no question, he's my guy. Eventually things are going to turn around. '

'We're the team to beat. We're gonna give em' our best shot, 'come out swinging'. I feel this is my best team since I've been coach.'

'We got our azses kicked/embarrassed today but I'll tell you one thing I'll play em' again right now.'


-Like a broken record, you're going to hear the same quotes on Sunday.-

'Mark is still my guy.' ..... etc

Same old Rex = Same old Jets. Like you guys said he will never even get another coordinating job because of his stubborn and obnoxiously overpowering personality. He's also a sh*t head coach who neglects to acknowledge the offense every year through draft and free agency.
(2 First round DE's and STILL no pass rush!)

End the circus and bring in a disciplinarian coach who will be taken seriously.
Players coaches don't win Super Bowls.

I pray this team does some serious spring cleaning which includes the axing of Mike, T. Rex, Sanchez and Santonio. I'd go on about the other 3 but I've already wasted enough time. <rant over>

Who said this? I wish he was our D coordinator

Rex WILL get another coordinator job. Rex WILL get another head coaching job. Rex WILL be successful at his next stop.

I wish he was on the Flight Crew or replace Fireman Ed

Yay!!! More fire Rex Ryan threads.

3 years ago he changed the culture. This year, sitting 3-3 with a shot to take out the Patriots.....CLEAN HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Thor99]

Mangini got another job.
Herm got another job.
Rex will always be able to get a job.

That's the problem. He changed the culture. Most of these people were happy to sit through all those years of Herm because "he has a winning record". Now a guy isn't allowed to go .500 for 6 games without them calling for his head on a platter. Herm would have ridden those 2 AFC Championship games into a 30 year career as Jets coach.

But did you see the way Herm addressed the media?

.500 for 6 games? Guess you forgot last season.

Other than 1 very good season, Rex's teams are barely over .500 I think we're lucky to be that good with such a terrible cast of players.

Please name for me one aspect of the 3 main areas of the team that has improved fro year 1 of Rex, to year 4.

I know this, for every one that you name, I will be able to list at least 2 that are in decline.

That does not bode well. And the evidence continues to mount that they are further in erosion.

I want consistency, but I'm not willing to put up with anything but constant winning!

A lot of people try to correlate Eli's career with Sanchez. How about Rex with Coughlin? Took over with a new QB and his first three years the team was 6-10, 11-5 and 8-8. They were 0-2 in '07 before they went on a tear. There was plenty of discussion about Coughlin losing the team and he had to start some ridiculous "leadership" panel because the player were rebelling over his stupidity - rules that you had to be 5 minutes early to meetings, etc.

True the team Coughlin took over was 4-12, not 9-7. OTOH, they were 10-6 the year before that and only a few years removed from the super bowl loss to the Ravens. Also Coughlin had been a head coach before in college and the pros, so he should have been better prepared than Rex who is known as a good motivator and defensive mind, but a work in progress as far as running the whole show. I'd like to see how things go before we run him out of town.

Agree wholeheartedly. Fact is, the kind of bluster Rex came in with was cute and caught our jaded sportswriters by surprise, but that kind of rhetoric actually works better in the provinces. Before long the vultures of our local media were looking to punch holes in Rex, and I think they have hurt his brand. I wish he would just do football, too. But if he wants to brag and boast, it would still go over in the college-ey pro towns of the country. I am not crazy about his admitted personnel choices (John Connor), or the focus on defensive drafts, but he knows his football, and he can motivate.

The question with regard to Rex is if another coach would do better with these players. I don't see any reason to believe they would. Kind of like how replacing Schotty netted us 0. We need to change the players and the guy acquiring them.
