Prediction: Rex to Atlanta for HC.....which Jets follow him? [MERGED]

[CanadaSteve]

IF this were to happen, and I think it is a REAL possibility (given the need for a defensive restructure there AND an already built-in high octane offense), who would follow Rex? 

 

He already has decent CB help, but the rebuild could include FA and draft (although, they have cap issues to deal with first).  Not saying the Jets guys would be saviours, but he would want some of his players who can teach his style.  I think these would be the easiest three to get, given two are UFA's and one could be had for a pick as an RFA.

 

1. David Harris

2. Damon Harrison

3. Dawan Landry

IF they then went Dante Fowler or Shawn Oakman in the 1st round, then one of the safeties in the 2nd, they could be well on their way.

 

[dbatesman]

all the good ones, prolly

[KRL]

Damon Harrison will be a restricted free agent.  If the new GM/HC wants him he won't be

going anywhere.  If Rex gets the ATL job he's free to take:

 

- Landry

- Wilson

- Pace

[pointman]

Revis.

[Larz]

atlanta has been linked to quinn already, no rex

[deucebag]

Prediction:

 

Rex will be head coach of Atlanta,

 

He will take Damon Harrison and Marcus Williams from the Jets.

 

He will sign Darrelle Revis, Chris Harris Jr and Justin Houston as FA's.

 

The Falcons with a potent offense and significantly improved defense will be poised to make a run.

 

No sour grapes here, just common sense.

Rex would bring in a former DL, LB, and DB to Atlanta so his players can be on-field "coaches" that can help teach his defense. He did the same thing here when he brought Marquese Douglas/Howard Green, Bart Scott, and Jim Leonhard.

[32EBoozer]

If Atlanta is having cap problems, they won't be overpaying for RFA Harrison including draft pick.

 

Everyone else they are welcome to.

[Jetlife33]

He'd definitely take Harris and in imo I'd be fine with that.

you must have missed the panthers game yesterday lol

[Integrity28]

This is priceless. People that argued Rex had no role in shaping the roster, talking about the roster he will build with stolen Jets when he wins his 8 Super Bowls.

[T0mShane]

I'm super terrified by this prospect. 

[32EBoozer]

Let's trade Mo, Snacks and Geno for Matt Ryan.

 

Thanks Rex and Good Luck!

[Vinny16]

I'd be fine with that as well.  Outside of our terrific D-line, we have a lot of work to do on the defensive side of the ball in addition to the offense, he linebacker position included. 

[CotcheryifyouCan]

i have a feeling he will be considered for the atl job as well, but in all honesty who cares if he takes any of those scrubs?

[Barkus]

he can have kyle wilson, calvin pace, willie colon, cumberland, greg salas, and chris johnson to start with. 

[derp]

Oakman is returning to college, but yeah that's a possibility. Could easily see him taking those guys. Douzable too, maybe Pace if he gets let go here. Kenrick Ellis.

 

Believe Snacks is a RFA so the Falcons would probably have to give something up to get him, I'd take a decent pick for Snacks. Particularly if the Jets move to a 4-3.

[Vinny16]

I actually don't really care who he takes with him, outside of Mangold, Ferguson, Ivory, and our defensive linemen.  Outside of those players, he could really take just about anyone from the roster and I wouldn't be too broken up over it.

[Patriot Killa]

Respect to Pace for his services throughout the years but it's about time we get rid of him. His production in 2013 was what kept him around and 2014 was the definition of drop off. We need some young blood. I'm also really liking the player Demario Davis is turning out to be. Maybe another solid player there and we are set for MLB

who cares at this point,,they might not be great fits in new def scheme anyways,,time will tell

Are/were there any good ones?

[Jet Life]

The washed up guys like Landry and Pace

Defensive Coordinators don't get to hire players. Nobody is going to pay 1/3 of a HC to be a HC

[New York Mick]

Rex is going to end up in Chicago

I can actually see that.  Their defense sucks and PR-wise right now the Bears are even in worse shape than the Jets.  Rex would be a welcome change of pace plus he's a guy who you get a sense wouldn't take Cutler's sh*t.

[Jolot]

There's going to be a mass exodus no doubt , is there any way the NFL can schedule all Falcons games on Tuesday ? That way players can play for their regular team on Sunday -monday and still be able to play for Rex for free during the week.

I heard that every player in the NFL would take less to play for Rex.

[patman]

While you would think that Atlanta would be a fit as they have an offense already in place, I don't see a man like Blank going for Rex the personality. After Petrino I think he stays with a more "reserved" guy. The big mouth won't play the same down south as it does in NYC.

 

Now Chicago fits him to a tee. 

[HessStation]

The only place I can see him having success is in Atlanta with Matt Ryan. Give him any of these other teams that don't have a franchise QB and it'll be no different than what we've seen with him here. 

[56mehl56]

Will he be taking the bag with all the extra timeouts in them. You know the large sack that sits behind the bench that Rex believes he can dip into at anytime. 

[Larz]

rex is so good, he deserves his own brand new show

[BigRy56]

Thinking that Harrison, Wilkerson, Harris, Landry are guys that would follow Rex to wherever he coaches next season.

[stugotz81]

IF Rex was to become a head coach elsewhere, who is potentially going to follow him to his new team......what upcoming free agents of ours? what coaches?   Mo? Does Sheldon follow Rex after his rookie contract is up? Dunbar? Thurman?

 

Seems like that is always the trend when coaches switch teams.
