Congrats to Rex on a decent career.  He'll do great in the broadcasting booth.

Calling for a blitz on every play and not understanding how the forward pass works will be impediments to a successful broadcasting career. Plus no network wants to deal with videos of said broadcaster soliciting random bums in dicey parking lots to treat his wife like fingercuffs. CBS sent Dan Marino packing for a lot less.

Disagree..... his inability to articulate an idea will make people turn off the TV.  

He is a buffoon when it comes to communication. 

Have you seen the crap on TV that gets ratings? Rex plays right into those demographics.

I don't see Rex going to broadcasting as a foregone conclusion. Not disagreeing it makes the most business sense, but since when does that trump his raging insecurities?

I can see him going to a team as D.C., firing off a typical 'chip on my shoulder' press conference and then getting fired after 1 year - because he gets called out for undermining anyone he can to make a power play to steal the HC job.

Then, maybe broadcasting.

Air point..... I simply remember Emmitt Smith and Joe Montana giving it a go.

They were both horrible for different reasons.  Both gone.

But...your point is very valid.  

Namath was awful too.  As was OJ.  I never could stand Boomer either.

Not to make it political, but Trump's public-facing communications strategy worked for the same reasons Rex's does. Don't care who voted for who... just s commentary on what works, for better or worse.

All Rex did was give most jets fans the best 2 years they ever saw

 

 

He did, but he didn't grow as a head coach, did not learn from his mistakes, did not nurture a draft pick into a difference-maker, didn't learn to clock manage, didn't learn to make halftime adjustments, did not learn how to motivate.

And as evidenced in Buffalo, we were wise to dump him, should have done it two years sooner.

Yeah that was great. Finishing in 4th place those years was amazing.

The league caught on to what Rex does. He blitzes. It is now a 3 mini step and pass league. Guess what? You can blitz 4 linebackers. It doesn't matter, most teams are all about short passes.

Rex didn't evolve. He got fired twice for it. 

Plus he is a loud mouth who thinks he puts the target on his back. But he doesn't. He only made this franchise even more despised. Bye Rex. Enjoy never being a head coach again.

No fan of Ryan, but the Bills played hard and the Jets don't.  Bills lost tons of hearbreakers, the Jets get blown out routinely. Can't even compare the coaching jobs - Rex is better. His teams play like undisciplined boneheads, but at least they compete, unlike us.

Rex has a tremendous amount of more talent than the Jets do. Bowles and Rex both suck big donkey dicks. Rex's teams compete once in a  while, lets not get carried away.

We've heard this before...

First box for the Bills to check: organizational alignment. On Dec. 11, after Le’Veon Bell tallied 298 scrimmage yards and the Steelers dropped the Bills 27-20, Buffalo coach Rex Ryan stood before the assembled group and declared the playoffs out of reach. How that went over to those in the locker room depends on whom you ask. Some players thought the message was to keep playing hard for the guy next to you. Others, and some in important positions, took it that Ryan wasn’t aware of his surroundings. Bad enough the message that sends to the team; what was worse was that it wasn’t true. The Bills had a manageable schedule the rest of the way and, at that point, there was a very real possibility 9-7 would be good enough to get the team one of the AFC’s two wild-card spots. And that, as they saw it, was indicative of the overall organizational disorganization that marked Ryan’s now completed 35-game run as Bills coach, and really the straw that broke the camel’s back.

The Steelers postgame was just one example.  A much less private one surfaced Sunday, when the Bills fielded just 10 defensive players for a game-clinching, 57-yard rumble by Miami tailback Jay Ajayi. “That wasn’t the first time,” said one Bills source. “That stuff’s been going on all year. Lack of organization. Lack of detail. And at that position, from the head coach, you can’t have it.” In some cases, it was the defense being a man short, like on the Ajayi run. In others, there were 12 out there, including one embarrassing October circumstance during which New England converted a third down on Ryan’s defense anyway. In more than a few cases, there were players being rushed on or off of the field. The dysfunction spilled into other arenas as well. Take Sammy Watkins’ foot injury. Watkins was struggling to get through walkthroughs, and the situation screamed for leadership. But Watkins was allowed to push through the injury, hurting the offense and himself in the process, before the Bills made the call to shut him down after two games.

All of this only worked to deepen the divide between coaches and the personnel staff. So the result is GM Doug Whaley surviving, and Ryan going; the fact that Whaley is leading the search is being perceived in the building as no mistake. His charge is not just to find a good coach, but one he can work with to build a more structurally sound football operation. And that’s why the feeling is that it’s Anthony Lynn’s job to lose. If the burden for Whaley is to find someone he can work with efficiently, it’s a lot safer to go with someone you know rather than someone you don’t.

Is this the Jets next season? Also it's being reported that Rex suggested Lynn be the interim coach. At least the Jets aren't the only poorly run organization. Yikes. 

Other bad organizations don't make any fans feel better about what goes on here.

I agree with this, but we hired a coach who does the EXACT same thing. Bowles is a blitzing defensive minded coach who doesn't care about the offense. Another reason why the hire was awful.
