LionelRichie Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 why would Rex coach this year? He's getting $4M for not coaching. If he takes a TV job he gets $4M + the TV money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazyCarl40 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Of course there is interest. Rex doesn't suck. He just has no grasp of the offense, is terrible at in game management, clock control, timeouts, challenges, having guys lay in the end zone on kickoffs, developing young offensive players, making halftime adjustments, and adjusting his strategy to the game today. But he sure can coach up the defense. I imagine he'll catch on somewhere eventually and win something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait...the entire WRECKS fan club said a thousand times that their hero would have a new HC job in 15 minutes, maybe only 5 if the Jets fired him T minus 12 hours 15 minutes and counting and he's not even a foot closer to a phone call than he was yesterday Maybe teams want a coach who coaches a good game, not just a blowhard who just talks a good game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thshadow Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Personally, I think he's a good short-term coach. There are lots of good short-term coaches. Normally, a short-term coach is like Harbaugh or Parcells, and the players can take the berating for some period of time, but eventually get tired of it. With Rex, it's the opposite. He builds up the players' confidence, which is good in the short term, but eventually they get lazy. Plus he doesn't have most of the other technical skills that good coaches have, so players don't really improve. And obviously his strategic decisions are often questionable. I absolutely think that in the right situation, Rex can do fine for a short period of time, like he did here. (Which is definitely a skill that a lot of HC's don't have.) But it was still time for him to go from the Jets. I wish him well in his future endeavors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HessStation Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 He's one of the best defensive minds in football. That hasn't changed people. Give him a franchise QB, a respectable OC and his teams will probably look pretty good. But he'll need that supporting cast around him. Jets didn't have that. It was time to move on. Adios.

Bc Sanchez is a solid back up QB, horrible starter and Rex is an excellent DC, horrible HC? Thing is though, if you give Rex the already established QB/offense you might be on to something. They gave Sanchez the already established offense and he still ended up blowing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to get too deep into it, but Sanchez needed a strong supporting cast and wasn't going to get you to the promised land on his own. Neither is Rex.

I'm reeally interested to see where Rex ends up and what happens. i'll admit i'll be surprised if he gets another HC job off the bat. If he does, if it's with a franchise QB like Ryan in ATL, I could see a lot of initial success. If it's with a team like the Raiders or Bears without Cutler, forget about it, I'll put down good hard cash it's a colossal failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelticwizard Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Herm got another job too. Means nothing. In that case, enjoy your moment of gloating. I think Rex will not only get another job after the playoffs are over, I think he'll do well at least in a few years. How soon depends on the state of the team he goes to. And the state of the GM he works under. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sperm Edwards Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 why would Rex coach this year? He's getting $4M for not coaching. If he takes a TV job he gets $4M + the TV money. I can think of three reasons off the top fo my head: 1. A new coaching gig may pay more than $4M this year alone. 2. Next year he may not be as much of a hot commodity as Rapoport is alleging he now is, particularly if a bunch of unflattering things get leaked over the next month-plus. In that case, he's passing up a one-time $4M payment, for not coaching, instead of maybe a 4 year $16-20M for coaching again right away (which he probably wants). 3. Not everyone wants to get paid to sit around and do nothing. Some people enjoy working. It's not like an NFL HC spends 50 boring weeks a year filling out TPS reports from his windowless cubicle.

BigRy56 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Of course there's plenty of teams interested in him. He was a great DC and a good head coach. Unfortunately, he couldn't get the quarterback position figured out and ultimately that's what separates a coach that keeps his job vs one that get's fired.

Sperm Edwards Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Kansas city traded a draft pick for Herm Edwards. So yeah, there's that too. Interesting follow-up to that. Carl Peterson tampered with the Jets to get Herm. He got off easy, only having to give us a 4th rounder, but still he was willing to give up a higher pick than that if push came to shove, or he wouldn't have so blatantly tampered. In the end it cost Peterson his job, as Herm killed a giftwrapped top-3 offense. The interesting part is Peterson is now in that same group of ex-GM "expert" consultants, with Casserly and Wolf. Forget who else is in there offhand, but I remembered seeing Peterson's name. Shockingly, Peterson didn't get retained by Woody with Casserly and/or Wolf. ...ok, it's not that interesting.

k-met57 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 I like Rex but listening to woody he basically said that Rex didn't keep people accountable across the different areas of the team. Which confirmed to me personally why he had to go. Good luck to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
