MagicBizkit87 Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 I honestly have no opinion of the guy. Nothing good, nothing bad. I do feel since Cowher was a no go, he was the best option available though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIGHT STALKER Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 He's got my backing 100% until proven otherwise. I don't understand how you can be against it? We haven't hit it right for the past 40 years...let's give the guy a chance unless you know more than the rest of JetNation and I'm not talking just about the number 1 Jets board on the net.

will Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Its tough to have a meaningful opinion. He had incredible success as a DC but he was blessed with a boatload of great players. I am hopeful and like the signing. I prefer to have a fresh coach rather than one who has already been a HC in the NFL and might have less fire to succeed.

CrazyCarl40 Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 I'm not too sure. If he was HC material wouldn't the Ravens have promoted him to the position last season? Have to wait and see, but I'm on the fence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barton Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Wanted Cowher. Like Rex as a D-coordinator. As a HC he's a question mark. He will improve the defense, but by how much? Cautiously optimistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonEJet Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 When all is said and done 1. Schotty 2. Mangini 3. Rex that is how they will be remembered as coaches in this league. A guy that has Ray Ray, Ed reed, Ngata, Suggs ect doesn't have to be the sharpest tool in the shed. Just has to send out the troops to do thier work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil Bit Special Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Did anyone during offseason time in the NFL thought that Mike Smith, John Harbaugh, Tony Sparano would have the seasons they would? We just dont know. I'll give him a chance to prove he is worthy of being an NFL head coach. We'll know by the end of next season whether he has potential or is Rich Kotite.

JonEJet Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 I am open minded to the guy...as I don't know enough about him Looking forward to the presser to see how psyched he is to take over the Jets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going on record and saying he has accomplished nothing yet and needs to earn any respect. I'm not sold on him being the right choice. Im not upset about the signing but I wanted an offensive coach. If he keeps Schottenheimer I'll be more upset, but not annoyed and I'll give it a shot. Todd Haley would have been my top choice or Russ Grimm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxman Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 I wanted Woody to call Cowher back and pay whatever it took to make that happen. When that didn't happen I thought both Spags and Ryan would be good candidates. Either one could hit or miss. I thought the transition to a 4-3 under Spags wouldn't have been too bad. Gholston would have a home at DE and outside of Pace and Harris all the Linebackers need an upgrade anyhow. Ryan? His defensive numbers stand for themselves. His team has been at the top and the stats are incredible. He is aggressive which is what we all have been asking for. He is keeping Baby Schott which I wanted. So I am okay with him. My only concern about Ryan is his mouth. He seems great with the players but I hope he doesn't get into trouble with the media. He seems like he is going to be a good quote which is going to be a problem here. The players will love him because he seems to treat players more like adults than Mangini did. So I am happy with the choice, I think it could be hit or miss. Personally I would have given Mangini another year to see how they rebounded from this collapse. But that is neither here nor there. It is Rex Ryan time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green DNA Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 I am totally in favor. No old tired retreads, a guy that is aggressive, creative and really wants to be here. I've heard nothing but good things about this guy. Will he succeed, who knows? We shoud all be rooting like hell for him to become a HOF coach though.

piney Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 after the dust settled he was around 6 or 7 on my list... so...I am hopeful...but skeptical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToonTime Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 He is our coach now, so I guess we have to support him. He was the best choice, I would have liked Spagnolo, but then we had to change our defense so thats a no go...Hes fiery, hes a big guy (Parcells anyone), and he has his players on his side. Hes bringing a couple horses from Bmore, watch..this will be a a tough year (schedule wise) but it will be fun. ENOUGH ABOUT MANGINI, HES GONE!! thegoods.earn4100.biz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptath2 Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Apprehensivly Optomistic? I'm in a place in my jet fandom that says the power of the Jets to dissapoint is greater then anyone coach's ability to turn it around, but when I set that aside He has a better chance than most to turn things around, So fingers crossed and let the offseason optomism build.

Jetscode1 Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Wholeheartedly endorse the hiring of Rex Ryan as our new coach...for the many obvious reasons. Great defensive mind and his players respect and play hard for him. In my eyes he clearly had the best reume and most compellling story to lead our team. The other names mentioned with the rings were successful at other places and that usually doesn't lead to the promised land...very hard to climb that mountain in another city and no coach has ever lead more than one team to a Super Bowl victory. FWIW...for those of you who couldn't answer the question without wavering...take a stand... One of my favorite media phrases is "cautiously optimistic." It means nothing while it sounds important. Can you think of a situation where it wouldn't apply? (Apocalypse to Strike Earth, Experts Cautiously Optimistic). See! You can't go wrong. A few years ago, Neil Westergaard wrote: What a great all-purpose, meaningless qualifier to keep from looking stupid. It's much better than just saying "I don't know." It implies that that the person really does know something important, but is being conservative and careful in the distribution of information, holding back the unverifiable facts for the good of the republic. Or covering their behinds. "Cautiously optimistic." If the economy goes into the dumper again, we can say our earlier caution was warranted. If things pick up, we were right to be optimistic and "knew it all along." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GodWearsAGrayHoodie Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 If this is the bumping prediction thread. I will go on record that he won't last more than 5 years and in those 5 years he won't take the Jets to the dance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aec4 Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Wanted him. Have since like Week 16 of the season. Think he will do very well.

gang_green03 Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 I worry that he gets conservative late in games and how much the unique talent on the Ravens had to do with his success, but he was one of my favorites out of the choices we had and I think he'll be a good coach. I'm happy with the move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancemehl Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Would rather have gone after Gruden, was against the 4th straight unproven HC, but of all the coordinators to promote, I liked Rex better than Schott Jr. or Spags, because I wanna finally see this 3-4 BS work, since it's so f%$king great and it'll be nice to see an attacking defense. Said another way. I'd love to have a dominating defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
