I love Rex, don't get me wrong he's done a great job in getting rid of the losing culture in the locker room, but WHAT THE FUCK, MAN? You're the HEAD COACH of the team, you should have been involved with BOTH sides of the ball in the first place. Shit like this pisses me off about Rex, because as good of coach as he can be, he has glaring faults like this. I mean, our ship is basically sinking and it never occurred to him to start making it a point to attend the offensive meetings. Let's hope we see a major improvement with him overseeing everything from this point on.
He didn't even drop in on Offensive meetings? What the hell? No wonder he didn't have any idea what was going on with the team. I love Rex, but that's bad coaching.
Essentially what Rex was saying that one of 3 major tasks of any HC in the league, having the pulse of the team, he had no interest in doing. Then he compounds the error by blaming it on having Captains. Which....after the fact....he tells you, he didn't like anyway, Rex brought a good defensive system to a team and which then loaded up on what makes that system work. Now that offenses are starting to catch up with his schemes, the Jets have to fall back on an offense that struggles to score 17 points, and a locker room that has fallen apart Don't count on FA to improve the situation. The ONLY reason for a quality FA to come to the Jets will be strictly for the MONEY! Whatever "cache" Rex had, he vomitted out of his mouth with his comments of the last 4 days Why go to the Jets where there is a bad locker room, bad leadership, bad QB (actually not bad, just not good) and general hostile environment Then add the cold weather and high taxes, and give me a reason anyone with a choice would want to wear Green?
Rex will learn how to coach, it takes time. Look at Belichick in Cleveland, he was clueless. Eventually he learned in New England to not touch the offense at all. Rex is only 3 years in and has progressed a lot better than most coaches. It takes time, he will learn from his mistakes.
That's the problem. How will the Holmes and Sanchez' of the world co-exist? Should Holmes even come back? What's the hit if he doesn't? What if Shotty returns? Players have made it pretty clear they don't want him. Rex is also still the Jets HC. I'm concerned about a HC who isn't aware his team passed 60 times in a game. I'm concerned about a HC who isn't aware of why a captain isn't on the field late in the game in a potential season deciding situation. I'm concerned about a HC who stays away from offensive meetings and says he didn't have the pulse of the team. These are 2012 issues, not 2011 issues. None of these things concern you going forward?
Don't knee-jerk too much. This is also the same coach that made us the #1 defense his first year on the job and got us to 2 AFCCG's. He can definitely improve, but to say he's a terrible head coach is not true at all.
Does anyone think that Rex has so little involvement in the offense due to the fact that we have Petitine as our D coordinator? Its clear hes Rex's protege, but im just not entirely sold on him creating gameplans/calling plays. I think Rex takes alot of pride in his D and I doubt he just hands it over to Petitine the way he does with Westhoff and Schotty.
Rex made a mistake, identified it and admitted it not only to himself, but to the world. Most men would be too proud to admit it to themselves, let alone the world. I'm sure most people posting in this thread have never made a mistake.
Uh, what? We've all made mistakes, but that's a pretty egregious mistake for a head coach, dude. I'm glad he's doing his best to take care of his errors, but that's an error that shouldn't have happened in the first place.
I think it's amazing how out of touch with his offense that Rex is for all the reasons mentioned above. Guess we should have known this when the press wrote about his ice-cream socials with his offensive leaders.
But of course. But from where I'm standing today, it has a lot more chance of becoming a reality than it doesn't. Just sayin'
