Giving up on Rex isn't the right thing to do. He needs to improve but he gets a 5th year with a new GM to see it he can...

I disagree, it is absolutely the right thing to do.

Unless the new GM is a miracle worker, who can manufacture a good QB, and clear up the cap disaster to get a semblance of an offense, keeping Rex is delaying the inevitable by one year.

Throw in the idea of saddling a new GM with an old regime coach, limits the GM pool even further, keeping Re. Is a very, very bad idea.

i dont believe that is how it went down. I think the Jets plan at the time was essentially to have co-offensive coordinators. Sparano would coordinate the running game, since the line was his strength, while Haley would be the passing game manager. I thought they felt Haley would go for it since he and Sparano worked together in Dallas and probably they felt Parcells would tell him why it was such a good idea. Haleys interviews came after Sparano not before him. I could see there being a rift over Matt Cavanaugh and perhaps Haley wanted no part of him, but I dont think it was a money deal.

The whole situation is a mess. Rex spoke so highly of Sparano when the hire was made. At the time of the hire the beat were all saying "unnamed sources" told them that Rex pushed hard for Sparano, which makes sense of Rexs usual nonsense of if they beat me they must be awesome mentality. If Rex was just giving lip service then he really is a puppet for the organization. To me those two mesh philosophically. Rex wanted to run. Rex wanted the return of the Wildcat. Rex wanted a OC with head coaching experience to help him. He wanted a simple offense he understood. I find it hard to believe that he did not want him. Maybe now he realizes how bad Sparano is and how this archaic offense doesnt work in todays NFL so he doesnt want him anymore, but I think in January this was clearly Rexs guy.

RR: Tony, look, I don't want to know anything about what's goin' on with the offense. It's not my thing, never been my thing. It'd be your baby; your thing. You guys hold onto the ball for forty minutes and we win the Super Bowl and that's the truth.

TS: My thing? I'd be in control--control--of the whole thing?

RR: The whole f*ckin' thing.

TS: What about the kid?

RR: The kid comes with it. He can play, ya know, it's just Schott...****in' Schottenheimer got into his head and...

TS: I can fix him, ya know. I can do that. Run it 35 times, throw it 15. Boom.

RR: That's what I'm talking about.

TS: My baby! My thing! Haha!

RR: Your ****in' baby, baby. Hahaha

Giving up on Rex isn't the right thing to do.

Rex has refused for four years to accept responsibility for the first and most impactful decision he made as an NFL head coach. It starts and ends there. You can't give up on a guy who doesn't consider himself accountable for his actions in the first place. You just stop herding him in when he gets distracted and wanders off. I bet if we just pull Jets security personnel from the babysitting detail he'll choke to death on a pork chop by Wednesday and save us the hassle.

I know u want Rex back and I think thats where Woody is going.
Probably up and comer College/Pro Personell guy currently in NFL FO. Caveat of offer from Woodrow will be 'keep Rex'.
I actually think this shoe will fall 1st as the new GM deserves to can current assistants and then name new ones.
If Sporano is fired before new GM it just shows how far Tannys star has fallen in Woodruf's eyes.

I don't think either prediction is out there.

This is fun. Which is why we're here. Cracks me up thinking that we were getting emails from said pancake-eating website proprietor to "be positive" as if that has any impact at all.Perhaps it helped getting him a media credential or access on gameday. May be some players or CS or FO personnel read this; surely media types do. But the idea anything written on a website messageboard be it positive or negaitve truly impacting the Jets' success or failure is ridiculous.

Woody gave Sanchez like fifty million dollars because Rex told him to, and now Rex says that if Woody doesn't come across with another thirteen to get rid of the loser then it's all his fault. I can't even fathom how livid Woody must be. Rex is lucky he's coaching Sunday.

I wouldn't be surprised if Woody did fire Rex. The league basically told him that because the Jets basically humiliated the NFL during its showcase Thanksgiving game, thre won't be anymore primetime spots r he Jets, and that's the one thing that will really piss him off.
