If Eagles pass on signing him, I could see Rex giving him a "We have a real OC now, let's go finish what we started" speech.
I hope you are right and he busts out. I am not privy enough on the particulars of his job as a HC to comment on the likelihood however. All I know is his Jests team gave this years Pats team all they could handle .... with not nearly as much talent as this Bill's team he is inheriting. Should he be able to find even a decent QB, I suspect they'll be a very tough out for us next year.Bob, I think you and DI both are taking Rex's perceived defensive skills too far. Even if you are correct in your assessment of them, there is a lot more to being a HC than just defensive acumen. Its about leadership, accountability staff building, roster building, creating a system, and other management skills that Rex never showed in his 6 years with the Jets.
I'd never say he's a bad coach, or that he doesn't have several positive traits you;d love to have in a HC. Its just that he's missing several aspect of the job that I would deem critical. Even worse, I don't see the humility to recognize where he failed in NJ or any commitment to improve on them the 2nd time around
IMHO he belongs one of 3 places, I think he'd be excellent on TV. Of course he'd be a fine DC. Or if he was so inclined, I'd give him another shot if I felt he had recognized his flaws and was willing to confront them and learn from his past mistakes. He COULD be a fine HC, but I don't believe he recognizes he has any issues. If I'm wrong it will show in Buffalo, since they have good roster minus a QB
Look at it this way.I hope you are right and he busts out. I am not privy enough on the particulars of his job as a HC to comment on the likelihood however.

It will be interesting to see if Rex as learned anything. A smart HC would do what he has to to keep Swartz there and give some continuity to that sold D. He should be willing to entrust the D to another so he can deal with all the other issues a HC has. But I bet he can't. That's why Pettine left. Rex couldn't delegate to a competent underling.Look at it this way.
The guy who led the Jets from contender to pretender, the guy who took a good defense and turned it into a bad one (21st in points allowed and 29th in takeaways over the last FOUR years); the guy who turned his team into a laughingstock of false bravado; the guy who has lost 7 of the last 8 to NE, , the guy who runs a defensive scheme that has proven to be one you don't win football games withhas now just taken over the most up and coming contender we have in our division, so he can now wreck that one, like he wrecked the last one.
Schwartz has coached more bad defenses than good ones.It will be interesting to see if Rex as learned anything.

I'm not that impressed with Roman. The 49er offense went backward under him, although its hard to say how much is him and how much is Harbaugh, good or bad.So, I would be impressed if kept Swartz, Also if he tabbed Roman as his OC.
Manuel is terrible. Good offensive coaches with bad QBs have bad offenses.He needs Manuel to reach his maximum potential if he's going to move the Bills past mediocrity. Roman, or someone experienced in dealing with a QB with his skill set needs to be brought in,. When you have no first round pick and Mark Sanchez is the cream of the FA crop, you are in trouble.
The ironic thing is that what people like about Ryan is why he fails.Bob, like I've said several times, Rex will have to prove to me he is more than a great press conference and a good defensive mind. He has to show he can LEAD an entire football operation. He proved he couldn't in NJ. He took a good roster and turned it into muck. That's on him despite what his apologists want to say.
I expect him to do worse here than he did in NJ. First, his defense has been figured out, as evidenced by the results. He will get credit for a defense that has good players playing good under him, but will lose games because his style of defense will get them better yardage rankings, but fail in the clutch, and not win games. He will have a losing record in Buffalo, and at best make the playoffs one time for every 2 he does not.The mediots will love this decision by the Bills, It's an easy story line and he gives great press conferences. I love this decision, because, unless undergoes a radical chance in his character, the Bills will be vastly more entertaining and more likely to NEVER reach their potential,
Not a joke. There are already rumors in NYC to that effect.I think Mark Sanchez is a free agent, maybe they'll get the band back together so to speak.
Bills expected to hire former 49ers OC Greg Roman as new OC to go along with Rex Ryan, per sources. The two worked together in Baltimore.
