SouthernJet Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 It was biggest issue for Rex and most of us knew it.. He wanted to be a buddy to his players, not a coach.. And kids take advantage of crap when allowed.. You ever see Rex lay into a player for mistake or dumb penalty that cost team? Thank God accountability is back!!!!!!!!!

Jetmech Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 2 things. I don't have to tell anyone my CBs is a problem, all I gotta do is start a SS at CB and everyone will get it. Why on earth would I enter a Geo Metro in a NASCAR race and hope to win ? Where were the CB's? I will say it again, the Jets were a 7-9 team with average QB play with their horrendous secondary. JI drafts Pryor to play FS when he was a SS. Let's blame that on Rex too... Mangini did a great job in Cleveland too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetmech Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Greg Schiano is the greatest coach of all time. This is a "true" statement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Embrace the Suck Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Ya got to love it..LOL So Mangini gets the credit for the 2 AFCCG runs?? Meanwhile the QB's Mangini had was Chad and Farve but Rex had Buttfumbler the magnificent.. And of course Mangini took his expertise to the Browns where he had 2 disciplined 5-11 seasons and was canned.. I didn't say Mangini gets credit for those runs. I forgot who but someone mentioned the two afc champ runs and brought up accountability. I merely stated that the accountability was what was left over from the previous regime. Accountability does not equal wins it is merely a component of wins, one that apparently at least one player on the team said was lacking.

Komba Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 People jumping on this "Trash Rex" bandwagon better remember that it's highly unlikely Bowles makes it as far as Rex did. And LOL at some of you trying to write those 2 championships off as no big deal. He did it in an era where you don't go far in the playoffs without the high end QB. Rex did it with Sanchez of all people. He basically deserves an award for that. This business is all about results and it's very likely that Bowles doesn't get to where Rex was. Hoping like hell Bowles does make it that far though... And Amaro should keep quiet about the comparisons because Amaro had plenty of things he wasn't doing well last season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you are winning, everything is great. Rex got a lot of credit for getting the team to back to back championship games but lets not forget that the first season was a gift from the Colts who rested their starters that last game of the year. Rex has a lot of passion and confidence but he let players cross the line too much and neglected to learn more about what the offense was doing. I don't want to jump on a trash rex band wagon because he did do some good things here but a guy like Bowles sounds more like an NFL coach.

Rex did not win any championships while HC of the NY Jets, unless you are talking about his treasured Snoopy Bowl.

Beerfish Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 People jumping on this "Trash Rex" bandwagon better remember that it's highly unlikely Bowles makes it as far as Rex did. Agreed, Rex should have been fired when Idzik was hired. And LOL at some of you trying to write those 2 championships off as no big deal. He did it in an era where you don't go far in the playoffs without the high end QB. Rex did it with Sanchez of all people. He basically deserves an award for that. Rex basically inherited those teams and had nothing to do with the offense, if you want to give credit for the QB then give it to the ocs who had to put up with sanchez. This business is all about results and it's very likely that Bowles doesn't get to where Rex was. If it was all about results Rex would have walked the plank two years earlier. And hey, guess what in the AFC titles games which side of the ball fell flat on their ass? Yeah the Defense. Hoping like hell Bowles does make it that far though... And Amaro should keep quiet about the comparisons because Amaro had plenty of things he wasn't doing well last season. Glad Amaro actually spoke the truth, Club Rex and his days of touting lousy players or new players as hall of famers seems to be over.

Dcat Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 What HC did more for the Jets IYO?? Other than Weeb? I liked Michaels until he went bat-sh!t crazy. I also liked Parcells, who I believe did way more than Rex. For all of Parcelles faults, he actually made the team better. But none other than Weeb got us to a championship. Parcells and Rex came close, but the post I responded to basically implies that Rex got us two championships. So Rex apologists have now mentally converted a pair of AFCCG losses into "championships". Most Rex apologists are blind as a bat when it comes to him, but this one takes the cake.

Beerfish Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 What HC did more for the Jets IYO?? Mangini handed Rex a stellar defense, oline and running game and a very disciplined team which he rode to the title games, even in those years that team was good enough to actually win the division but fell flat in key games. Rex picked the perfect job for himself, a virtual clone of what the jets were when he joined them. A talent laden defense, a disciplined team a new RB to ride all year. I would have loved it if he had gotten the Bears or Atlanta job and actually had to coach a defense with crap talent throughout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do know this when Vinny went down first game in 1999 the Jets started the season 1-6.. I liked Walt also I thought he got a bad deal from Hess but he did have a bit of a booze problem..

Komba Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 He's 0 for 0 as a Head Coach to-date. And? The point is people shouldn't be leaping on this idea that we are under better direction now when we have no idea if we are or not. Rex was probably the most successful coach this franchise had outside of Weeb. 2 AFC championship games is pretty impressive when he took down guys like Peyton and Brady in getting those. If Bowles can pull that off, I'll be surprised. I'm hopeful as hell, but let's not lose the big picture here. He probably won't. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's beyond stupid and childish to throw labels on people... People defend Rex's accomplishments so they are apologists? In regards to championships versus championship games, I truly hope you understood what my point was. Clearly misspoke. Keep trying to minimize what Rex did though because you'll probably live another 20 years before another Jets coach has as much success.

Komba Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 It's amazing when coaches go the same company line so many posters have... They sucked. it's like when you move on from a girlfriend. Towards the end of Herm's tenure, he sucked and the players didn't play hard. Team wasn't smart enough and lacked accountability. Mangini comes and people are thrilled with his strict ways and he instilled a ton of accountability. Towards the end, people want him gone because he's too strict and he sucked the life out of the building. Rex comes and and everyone loves him. Eventually people grow tired (familiarity breeds contempt) and think that the players did whatever they wanted to. It's like people are looking for more reasons to dislike him. Now Bowles comes in and people love him. In a couple of years, people will be trashing him too. The only thing that ultimately matters is the results. Rex got more results for this team outside of Weeb. And that includes Parcells considering REx made it to two AFC champ games in the same amount of time Parcells made it to one. Parcells was the better coach though, that much I think is fact. Rex had his faults but some of you act like he sucked which is just an absolute lie. Or you're delusional. Rooting for Bowles now. He has some qualities that are great. Unfortunately for him the QB position means everything where it wasn't always the case. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm rooting hard for Bowles, but let's not act like Rex was some piece of trash because the results say otherwise. By everyone you mean for two years and on defense right? He had almost nothing to do with the offensive side of the ball. After the 1st two years, the team steadily declined. A vast majority of draft resources was used on the defense. We all know that rex gets all the credit for the AFC title years and little blame for anything after. If anyone should be hailed as heros of those 1st few years it should be the oc who got them to the afc title with with a rookie wb and lousy big play talent, and yet shotty, then sparano and then Morninweg were always the black hats of the organization. Once the talent level of the D evened off or there was injuires the defense fell on its ass hard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no problem at all with people liking Rex, he was a likeable guy and I for one loved the guys fire and honesty in his 1st few years. Where the 'idiot' part comes in is when some Rex supporters use arguments to defend him that make little sense. As one sided as some of us 'rex haters' are a number of 'rex supporters' are equally over the top in giving him credit for all the good stuff and giving him no blame for any of the bad stuff. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
