He would surround himself with very good coaches. We have a very good defense for him to work with. If you fire Saleh you better have a deal with an experienced Head Coach lined up. Our offenses did better than they are now under Rex. Plenty of negatives though also. Loved Rex. We caught lightning in a bottle those few years, but that ship has sailed. Great motivator, great defensive coach, but not quite HC material IMO. Buffalo learned that as well with him. We underestimate just how good of a roster he had on offense that allowed him to completely ignore that side of the ball. Best OL the Jets have likely ever had. Strong skills position players and a QB who was still green enough not to worry and just throw it where it was supposed to go. It's unfortunate because the Jets have had guys like Rex and Saleh who would be AMAZING to have as coordinators if the Jets were lucky enough to have a true CEO HC like a John Harbaugh, Tomlin, etc. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bitonti Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 Rex and Saleh are basically the same defensive coaches who coach good defense but don't help on offense neither one will do anything without a decent QB Saleh tore down 20 years of 3-4 defense might as well stick with his 4-3 zone, there's nothing wrong with the defense both of these guys are at the mercy of their OC and the QB to bail them out like most NFL coaches, actually.

Scot McCloughan? Pair a drunk with a racist homophobe. What could go wrong? McGloughan is a scout and he is a good one, but a guy that Daniel Snyder can't keep on board is not who you want steering the ship for your organization. How about John Dorsey? He didn't do too bad with building the Browns? With the Jets approach, Woody would can JD and bring Ryan Grigson in as GM. It'd be an oh so Jets moment.

jetsruinedmylifeandhealth Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 Yes I would. Rex isn't perfect but we know for a fact that he's a better football coach than Bowles, Gase and Saleh. His teams had SOJ issues as well, but there wasn't this outright quitting, lack of preparation that you've seen since Rex should've never been fired (especially if you're going to replace him with stinkin Todd Bowles) in fact that 2015 Jets team would've definitely been in the playoffs if it was Rex at the helm and not Todd It would've been the first time in Rex's tenure as Jets coach that he did not have garbage at the QB position with the year Fitzpatrick had. He deserved that. We saw Rex take a team with one of the worst QB's to Championship Games. Go on the road and win playoff games. We saw him take a piss poor 3-13 roster in 2013 and go 8-8 with it. Robert Saleh isnt ever walking into Foxboro and winning a game, especially not a playoff game with Brady at the helm. Rex did that People who are saying no...who are we to reject a guy that we know is better than what we have now?! Who are we getting that we are certain he will be better than Saleh. We've had three head coaches since Rex and all three are worse than him. Players love playing for him and give a better effort than the 3 clowns who followed him Rex is older now. It's possible he has learned from his past and will be a better coach and perhaps less bombastic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetsruinedmylifeandhealth Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 On 12/18/2023 at 12:35 PM, Jack Straw said: Yeah, Rex Ryan had his teams so motivated that he went 46-50 as HC and led a team that no-showed in the first half against the Steelers in the AFC Championship game. No. That team just went into Indianapolis to beat Peyton Manning and New England to beat Brady. That is a herculean task and they seemed a bit out of gas. Getting to a Super Bowl on the road with Sanchez going through Indy, NE, and Pitt that year is damn near impossible. Rex never once had a competent QB. He went from trash Sanchez to garbage Geno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then a bunch of stuff came out that completely shamed him. Even if you think he is being blackballed for "outing the commissioner," how does it help us to take on the commissioner? You think the league/Refs have it out for us now...wait until you see the Jets with Gruden as coach. The league will turn the f*ck the Jets dial to 11.

Obviously they're "damaged goods" but that's exactly why we'd be able to bring them in. I was going to criticize your point about Gruden winning with Dungy's team (because, how come Dungy couldn't win with it?!) but Barry Switzer won with Jimmy Johnson's team so I think you might have a point there. Dungy was an overrated coach. Walked into Tampa just as they were turning the corner. Could not get the job done (Gruden did) then rode Peyton's coattails in Indianapolis. Did win a SB but any coach would get at least one there as long as he's not a blithering idiot. A good coach would've won more with the prime Peyton Colts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetsfan80 Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 You Rex weirdos are pathetic. Dude hasn’t coached a game in nearly 8 years. He was a complete failure from 2012-2016. 5 straight seasons of suck. It’s like you lunatics have amnesia about that or something. Oh, and that 2011 collapse when we started 8-5 and finished 8-8 to miss the playoffs? 100 % can chalk that up to Rex Ryan and the band of malcontents he hired. Don’t believe me? FFS read Collision Low Crossers already. You nostalgic f**ks want to talk about 2009-10 like the good old days without acknowledging that Rex was the start of our past 13 years of futility by heavily contributing to pile-driving the roster into the turf which led to Idzik and then Maccagnan. He oversaw a completely toxic culture that set the franchise back for years after he was gone. There’s good reason why he hadn’t sniffed a HC job since Buffalo and couldn’t even get an interview at the U of Miami in 2018. He f**kin sucks and has for a long time. Let it go.
