How could that happen?
Based upon what? Certainly not the results.

He had worse defenses in Buffalo (15th-20th range) but it's still impressive to see that Ryan was one of the finest defensive minds during his time with the Jets.

No. Good defenses aren’t 20th in points allowed because of their offense.More so because of a problematic offense
They couldn't get their feet underneath them, but they took a step in the right direction and put their best foot forward.Against who?

They allowed points because of the way he coached. He sold out to take something away and exposed his defense to allowing big plays and his defense sucked in the clutch. That is why he never won and why he was fired twice.
The irony is the stars you posted are the ones he cared about and led to him allowing more points and failing.
Yeah we will agree to disagree then because you will never convince me that yards allowed are more important than points allowed until they start deciding games by yardage.2009 - 1st Overall D: #1 Passing D, #8 Rushing D --> 20th ranked offense

I have nothing to say about Ryan's offense - that's not what I'm talking about. I'm saying that his defenses performed admirably based on how horrible the offenses were. An offense that ranks among the worst in the league is never going to make it easy for the defense. To put a modern perspective of this, of all the current NFL teams ranked from 23 - 32 in net offense, only 1 was able to finish in the Top 10 of total defense. When defenses are required to stay on the field for extended portions of time due to pitiful offenses, things usually don't go so well. I believe that some mentioned that the Jets had surrendered 28 pts per game against the Patriots during their meetings, but that's forgetting that the Patriots had averaged:
09 - 25.9 ppg
10 - 31.7 ppg
11 - 32.3 ppg
12 - 33.9 ppg
13 - 27.9 ppg
It's not too shabby that Ryan-led defenses were able to hold the Patriots teams to ~3 pts slightly below their game averages over the season.
To clarify, I'm not a Rex Ryan fan or anything. I'm just pointing out that he's a defensive mind who wouldn't be a bad addition to the team (despite it being extremely unlikely).
Oh god I just saw the last sentence. You want belichick to hire him???2009 - 1st Overall D: #1 Passing D, #8 Rushing D --> 20th ranked offense

Good post, although I think Steve Belichick is at least a few years away from taking over as DC. It would be Flores.My take - whether it's players or coaches Belichick attracts the best and the brightest by showing he wants to help them in their careers - assuming they play by his rules
What would be a no no is leaving the Pats for an AFC team - most especially an AFC East team a la Mangini
But heading off to the great NFC is a different matter
As a guy with the balls to call out a corrupt Comissioner by wearing that T shirt, I wish Patricia nothing but the best. One hopes Steve Belichick or another in the wings is ready to take over as DC!
The city itself, its not far off from the original Robocop.
The stats of the first 3 years are inflated because the Jets went all in, mortgaging their future. Even after dumping 11.5 million in a sleezy provision in the new CBA, they only just recovered in the last couple years from the salary cap hell caused by it.Jets
