OT: The Rex era might be ending a lot sooner than we thought

Rex is getting cut? Sign the beast...

 

[fnordcircle]

Sign my petition to get Rex another year to prove himself in Buffalo!

 

[Ring 6]

Yea as DC of BAL his Ds finished 10th, 1st, 22nd, 3rd in PA.

Very respectable but not prolonged greatness.

And the team was 5-11 and 6-10 in 2 of those years.
The talent he has should have been more than respectable

I'd like him to stay as long as it takes for Miami to be ready to hire him.

Rex has always been overrated.

 

[Ring 6]

Rex has always been overrated.

I think a lot of that comes from his burning desire to tell everyone how great he is. He is a garrulous guy who is an attention whore and cares more about what people think of him than what he accomplished. That's a pretty good formula for being overrated.

 

[neuronet]

I mean from one extreme in terms of personalities to the other.

Wow did Coughlin some work done? He looks about 10 years younger. I know coaching makes you age but quitting coaching doesn't make you lose age... :O

I give credit to him landing Bart Scott (because they paid him the most) but say what people will say about him but Mangini loaded that Jets defense with talent.

Scott was a bit piece, and a very overrated player. Mangini handed him a killer D.
Mangini was building a team there that would have been very competitive.

Agree. If Favre stays healthy they make the playoffs and he keeps his job.

 

[Ring 6]

More importantly he has the building blocks in place for long term success, that Rex came in and shot holes through after a bit of success with what he was handed.

Not only that but Mangini was a MUCH better evaluator of talent than Tannenbaum. He was awful.

 

[TheBostonStraggler]

Rex had talent on the Jets that allowed him to put together a few good years. However, the inmates started running the asylum and that was that. His and the Jets days were numbered. Finger pointing, challenging his authority along with the QB/Sanchez losing focus due the media/fan noise -- classic days were numbered scenario.

When you sign a bunch of knuckleheads those knuckleheads better remain on the one and only same page, winning. Without that, at most, you'll get a season or two of success before the house of cards collapses.

as a bills fan.... watching rex leave earlier than expected is a plus.
as a bills fan.... 17 years is a long time.

there's plenty of pats fans who have no recollection or ability to recall the 90's... that and the epic tailgating and fan base are few of the fond memories.

honestly, Doug Whaley couldn't find a quarterback in a college uniform if that was his job.... wait a second.

Russ Brandon needs an ultimatum.... you stay out of the football operations and market the operation or you're fired, period.

it sucks being a bills fan, it sucked being a pats fan for a while too.

But you were so close. So close.

He's a fine coordinator, but he's just not head coach material. Some people aren't. The job requires a certain skill set.

 

[Double TE]

I hear the Jest might have an opening after this season...

Gus Bradley is available...

Agreed! Another NFL expert in the know (NOT).

Need an "Ouch" smilie...

what a mess. It's the Jets and the Bills can't decide who wants to run their organization with the most dysfunction.
