Scott Dierking Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 The media yesterday awarded Rex Ryan the Eskanazi "good guy" award. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joewilly12 Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 In Rex's defense John Idzik the GM was hired to sign free agents and draft better players Idzik did none of this Rex coached the players he was provided. Did Rex choose Tony Sparano and MM as OCs. Lay some of the blame on Rex Ryan but not all of the blame for the demise of the team that made it to the AFC Championship game 2 times in a row with Rex as the head coach. Rex Ryan is a good guy I've met him numerous times and have had great conversation with a really decent person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Dierking Posted December 24, 2014 Author Share Posted December 24, 2014 Are you suggesting that people who are bad at their jobs can't be good people? Rex is a guy I would love to sit at in a bar, have a few drinks and shoot the breeze. We could do it every week, and I would probably never grow tired of his stories and bravado. Add to the fact that he is loyal, and he makes for a good friend that you see occasionally. As I run my business, I may even introduce Rex to a few of my management guys, and if we have a project that fit Rex's expertise, I would even allow him to freelance and be around my guys. Now, what I would never do is give Rex the keys to my business and give him a business model and ask him to fulfill that. I would worry about him providing bonuses that are out of scope, meeting production and how he may be portrayed by my clientele. Rex-Great guy, no doubt.

T0mShane Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 I hate Rex as the coach of my team, but the one thing he's done consistently well is face the media and hold his poise even in those rare instances where they pushed him. The lone exception was his weird walking-backwards presser. His comportment during these times is 98% of the reason the local hacks have spared him to this point. After he's fired, you'll start seeing the articles talking about his great and many failings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rex Ryan is a good guy I've met him numerous times and have had great conversation with a really decent person. I agree Sparano and MM are lame OCs, but the problem is Rex requires too much overcompensation for his lack of offensive prowess. It's possible that after the two AFCCs the buzz wore off and Rex's shtick lost its magic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faba Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Rex is a good guy- overloyal to players- gave acces to media and gave them many stories to write with his comments. Does that translate to a good head coach-no Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nj meadowlands Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 I will miss Rex. I've met him before and I definitely do get the sense that he's a nice and genuine guy. But, I've been ready for a new coach of my football team for a while now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jolot Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 i hate the giants with a passion but at least there head coach wasn't too gutless and or clueless to make a gesture to two cops who were executed in his city the night before a game….good guy that Coughlin….whats the name of this award again?

Matt39 Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 I think some of the Rex hate is out of bounds...he was a decent coach, just unorganized. The team rode his emotions and they too often see-sawed week to week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetlife33 Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Rex will be missed. He's a good guy and for a while there at the begining of his tenure he made me proud again to be a Jets fan. However, it's been hell these past few years. It's time to move on. All things come to an end, hopefully the door closing on rex leads to the door opening to a competent all around head coach.

Scott Dierking Posted December 25, 2014 Author Share Posted December 25, 2014 Tanny never should have given Favre his release... Favre was no savior. He was a turnover, bad decision maker in clutch time with a little more glitz. By the time that the Jets got him, he was worn goods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
