For the Jets that's actually the opposite record I would expect a head coach to have when they are let go. Must have been a hell of an argument. The true story has always been somewhat of a mystery to me. I was a kid at the time, but what i have gathered overthe years, it was one hell of an argument, + overall alchohol issues (wasn't an isolated incident), overall paranoia, + a political undercurrent from Walton making a push to take over.

Rex Ryan rode the coattails of Ozzie Newsome selecting players and Marvin Lewis and Mike Nolan to the #1/#1 D and two AFCCGs with the Jets. If those teams were so ******* good why couldn't Mangini win with them? He had a HOF QB and he still sucked Mangini’s pussified playcalling got Matt Cassell a payday 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jet Nut Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Ball sitting anywhere on the field, we need either a stop or a score I'm most confident with Parcells on the sideline. Cosely grouped behind Bill would be Walt and Mangini. Thats just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Embrace the Suck Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Rex? Rex took over a disciplined team and was allowed to spend heavily to start his reign. They did good the first two years then sucked for the next 4. They sucked for the next four because Rex was a blow hard, that initially had a lot of talent, but as the Rex culture took hold the team slid and became undisciplined. The lack of coaching became apparent when the team needed to develop players but never really did. Then he went to Buffalo and that worked out great when he didn't have an established talent pool like he did with the Jets and the Ravens as their DC. Rex did a good job getting by mostly on his family name. I would go with Parcells as the best Coach since I actually watched him coach as opposed to Weeb. BP took a dog sh*t franchise and turned it around. He certainly made his mistakes, not telling Peyton he would be the #1 pick, but he put the Jets on a path that led to some success. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He never threw a pass before in College or the NFL so using him to throw an option pass into the end zone was a horrible decision. Tuna was a big proponent of saying ya gotta dance with the girl who brung you. Should’ve listened to his own advice Sent from my iPhone using JetNation.com mobile app Leon was recruited to North Carolina as a QB and while he didn't play QB he did throw a bunch of passes, his versatility was one of the reasons Parcells drafted him and he had attempted a pass earlier in that 1997 season.

Even if we use the favre injury excuse he made his career playing through pain and he started 16 games so he gets evaluated on that. He wasn't good when supposedly healthy outside of a few games.

These are all just excuses, favre was mediocre the first half of the year and bad the second half.

Entertaining for a few amazing moments, strange moments and train wrecks. Success is the true barometer. That's why Weeb has to be the best. Don't go by me, I'm jaded. He told me I have ugly feet. Rex's tenure was just weird. Everyone loves to say he was just winning with "Mangini's" players, but outside of "red, yellow, green" he was a good coach his first couple seasons. I remember before the start of the San Diego playoff game, Rex came out shook every single player's hand and offered encouragement. Norv was just aloof. That really impressed me. But Rex just completely regressed after those first two years. He got worse and worse until he was just completely ineffective. By then he had too much influence on player moves (keeping Santonio over Braylon was idiotic) and his famous 7th round picks, pushing defense in first round and he refused to adapt at all to the NFL on defense. I dont think he was a players coach that lost his team, I just think he became a bad coach. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
