He WAS trying to do what he did with his first NYJ's teams, and that was ride someone else's good talent into a couple of good years (2) before reaching his true level, which was somewhat below .500. Almost all the good talent on that team was accumulated by the former regime, PLUS several good FA signings that were none of his doing.
Thus far, by any fair accounting his team has WELL under performed, if you consider there talent level. He beat up 2 horrible teams that are lucky to have 3 wins between them, and lost 2 games at home. One to a middling team, and other to a good team.
His teams have lost for the same reasons Rex's teams have always lost. He doesn't pay attention to the details that win games and his teams are undisciplined and unfocused. I no longer believe he's some kind of defensive "genius". The Pat's not only beat him regularly, the score over 30 a great deal of the time.
The Pats have given the blue print for beating that defense, and the Giants used just a portion of it, and if they were just slightly better, they would have crushed the Bills .......on the road.
