BlakeSpenceBlockedPunt Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Someone posted a question today on Twitter asking if it's possible that Harbaugh leaves the 49ers and joins the Jets next year. I'd never considered that but my first thought was that if Harbaugh was the coach of the Jets I think we would perform better, win more games and be a legitimate playoff threat. I don't believe we are talented enough top to bottom to be considered a real threat yet. However, I think we're taking legitimate strides in that direction. With another year of development, another round of FA and another draft we should have plenty to be on the cusp. We know what Rex can do and the type of coach he is. We've seen plenty. I believe we can be a team that if we brought the right head guy in here can exorcise the demons and finally get over the hump. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T0mShane Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 1. Rex sucks 2. Woody will be a major deterrent toward getting a name coach in here. 3. Harbaugh should go coach Michigan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetmech Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 So the Jets want a coach that is supposedly not "all in" at SFO? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustInFudge Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Anything is better than Rex Ryan. Anything. Even if the Jets won on Sunday. Doesnt matter. He sucks and the Jets are doomed until 2015. Really hope its someone super cool like Harbaugh who choked away a 20-7 lead going into the 4th quarter in their home opener in a new stadium.

Green DNA Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 1) Harbaugh's team gave up a big lead at home on Sunday Night Football - Clearly a bad coach 2) His star defensive lineman beat up his girlfriend - circus atmosphere and obvious lack of discipline Why would we want this?

Integrity28 Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 The people that can't talk constructively about Rex Ryan's shortcomings, like JIF, seem to be under the delusion that if we get rid of Rex we will never have a good defense again... and that having the good Rex defense is worth the price of scoring points on offense and winning games. Good luck getting them to sign on for Harbaugh who would probably want to do something like... I dunno... make the whole team dominant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first comment Rex made sure to make after the timeout: "It wasn't me." Look at Rex's legacy, if you can call it that, in the time he's been here. Everyone around him thrown under the bus... "It wasn't me." Rex's greatest strength is self-preservation. I feel bad for you that you actually buy into the empty jargon he slops out, presenting himself as though he's so committed that he'd fall on the sword for his ideals. The hardest thing for Rex to mutter is "That's on me." and the easiest "It wasn't me." Suck on that for a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoFlaJets Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Rex isn't terrible, he's a good, no, a better than good defensive coordinator but having said that, the big problem Rex has is he is only 1/3 of a head coach-the other 2/3's are being run by the OC and STs coach. In a way Rex is a lot like his very first draft pick, a guy who was pretty good, in fact pretty damn good enough to get the team to consecutive championship games and to win more playoff games than almost any other guys who ran the Jets but then both Rex and his first draftee just never got any better and continued to use the same excuses and say the same things after every loss and every win, praising the opponents and saying how he has to get better. It's almost as sickening as listening to Mangini talk about the Jets core values again and again. I suspect that Rex Ryan will be able to secure a job as a DC somewhere, but his head coaching days are coming to an end-at least he won't be like Herm and Mangini, he will be able get work coaching the pro level and won't be relegated to working behind the desk at the NFLN.

This is a very shameful moment for me...but I feel like I'm finally taking some steps in the right direction to correct my stupid blind support for the moron. **** Rex Ryan. Cant wait for 2015.

CrazyCarl40 Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 The same Harbaugh who is sticking to his guns on McDonald? No thanks. I so wonder when Jets fans will start asking for more than mediocre, like Rex Ryan, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlakeSpenceBlockedPunt Posted September 16, 2014 Author Share Posted September 16, 2014 I actually believe Rex is acting more like a HC then he ever has. I think he's more demanding of his players. He coddles them less publicly. And I like the fact that he's hands on in the area of the team that he has a strong competency. My issue is I just don't believe that Rex as a HC is good enough to get our franchise over the hump. He's plenty good to get us here and deal with the growing pains associated with the building process. He's an easy target which takes the pressure off the players to a certain degree (always good when the players aren't good enough). However, as this core group of players matures (Geno, Pryor, Milliner, Q, Wilk, Sheldon, Davis, Amaro, Winters, Allen, Snacks) and as the established veterans hit their prime years (Decker, Kerley, Ivory, Giacomini) the real leadership needs to come from the players themselves and the coach takes on a different role. The coach becomes someone who drives performance, drives consistency, and instills a mature, championship mentality. I just don't see Rex doing that. I think Rex is the right guy as we ascend. I just don't think he's capable of getting us over the hump. I think a Harbaugh will wear out his welcome eventually but can get us over the top with our talent. Same way Gruden did in Tampa. Same way Coughlin did. Same way Sean Peyton did. Came into more established teams with established core talent groups and got them to the top. Who can do that for us? Not sure. But I don't think Rex can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadwayJets Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 9ers offense is better than ours, and has performed worse. 9ers defense has much more talent than we do all around, and performs around the same. I don't htink we want him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlakeSpenceBlockedPunt Posted September 16, 2014 Author Share Posted September 16, 2014 Harbaugh since joining 49ers: 42-15. Rex since joining Jets: 47-41. Any reasonable person would make that trade head up immediately. The point I'm making is that I don't trust Rex to get the talent we have over the hump and to a championship. I would prefer a coach that's less concerned with being liked and who can capitalize on the talent we have to get us a ring. I don't care if they're a mercinary like Gruden or a hard nosed coach like Coughlin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
