I'm going to vote yes on another chance... HOWEVER if the Jets get an opportunity to make someone like Sean Payton the HC I'd take it. That said, I'm not interested in another rookie coaching staff. Either put people in place who are a clear improvement or let Rex have a chance to get this ship right.
oh yes how could anyone forget our super.... err wait.. afc divisional playoff game championship bowl. yeah awesome
We need a good draft pick. This desicion is perfect. Hopefully we will get blown out, and Sanchez will throw another 4 pics. Then we will wind up 6-10. That should get us a good draft pick. Next year, they will fire him. Rex is inept at anything other than calling the Defense.
Keep Rex. The guy can put together a defense...even without Revis and other nagging injuries, our D kept us in games and was very solid. Just get him an offensive coordinator. A real one.
Personally, I enjoy it when other teams beat the Patriots. The Jets beating them in the playoffs in their own house is about as good as it gets for this Jets team.
Just watched the New England game video. Someone explain to me again why we let Braylon Edwards walk away?
Santonio Holmes is the flashier player that makes every play look oh so nice - that's why we kept Holmes. Never-mind his attitude
Bumping this now that Mike T fired. Amazed by all the media curtain jerkers claiming a full sweep needed, without giving any football reason why (just speculation and nonsense phrases like 'circus')
He's proven to be a horrible head coach, has no respect for his own franchise or the NFL and has reached a cartoonish level of trash talk. From Day 1 he wanted to make this team Raiders East and now he has suceeded. A total side show with no chance of winning. I also want to know why Rex takes no heat for the HORRENDOUS clock management over the past 2 seasons. Along with the boneheaded decisions he makes the few times he has input on the offense. He said deactiviting G-Mac against Arizona was his call because "Mcknight had a headache." He said hiring Sparano was his call. He said putting tebow in, in that 3rd series was his idea. He just keeps making idiotic decisions every week. He's just not a good NFL head coach. He's much more suited to Div II college ball. Why is he given such a pass? I don't get it.
Did he really put the defense together? We got two sick safeties and Cro made pro bowl. Not to mention, the Jets had the easiest second-half schedule in the NFL. We played cream puffs for 8 weeks. Who was going to go off on the D? Blaine Gabbert? Ryan Lindsey? Jake Locker? I can go on.
I think Rex Ryan deserves another shot next year. This year sucked, but look at what had to overcome. He lost Revis, and Holmes to injury. The roster was full of mediocrity He had to deal with the Tebow circus, and a BS offensive coordinator in Sparano. And his best QB on the roster was Mark Sanchez. All this led up to his first losing season at 6-10. Every coach has losing seasons. Even Don Shula, went 6-10 in Miami one year. Long suffering Jets fans like many of us on here have gone through much much worse. Remember the 1-15, 2-14, 3-13 seasons? Now that Tannenbaum is gone, hopefully the new GM will help provide Ryan with a better, deeper roster and the Jets will be relevant again.
I like Ryan's personality. He seems like he's a lot of fun, and has a sense of humor. But I am not sure that is what makes for a great football head coach. I don't think you need to be a complete cakehole to be an HC, or a psycho like Belichik either. Sometimes you can see a monomaniac like a George Allen succeed up to a point, or a button downed but probably too anal guy like Tom Landry succeed. But at the same time a creative and inspiring guy like Madden can get alot out of his players while still making the game fun to play. More recently you can see that sort of inspiration working for guys like Gruden. But you mostly need a steady focus, which is the common denominator among Coughlin, McCarthy, yeah Belichik (who of course also benefitted from cheating), and Payton along with Gruden. And part of that general category on steady focus is to remember the object, the main object, is not loyalty to your players when it conflicts with what should be the main object, and that is a single minded pursuit of winning. As much as I like Rex, I have to wonder whether his loyalty to his players gets in the way sometimes. I don't think his players really have any fear of him. The way the D loses concentration at certain times while otherwise having a good, even very good, game that ends up being a loss I have to wonder whether that reflects Ryan's own less than steady concentration. And I don't mean on the plays specifically. I mean the overall approach to the game. This also comes up in questionable clock management and game prep roster decisions, like not suiting up McElroy for the Cards game when Tebow was hurt and apparently was not intended to be used in that game. It comes up in the apparent disconnect between Ryan and the management of the O. It comes up in his admitted lack of knowledge of what is going on in the locker room. Add in Ryan's apparent support for the Tebow trade, his questionable strategy in a Qb driven and pass oriented league to focus on ground and pound, and the beyond question declining performance as his tenure has gone forward, and there is very much reason to doubt the wisdom of retaining him. If in fact he is retained, I along with every other Jet fan will hope he succeeds. But, I ain't counting on it. Not at this point.
Just a few things, wasn't the Cards game the one McElroy came in for Sanchez for? McElroy was clearly active because he played. Ryan supports everything and everyone in the media. The one time he ripped his own player was Kerley and that's all I can remember. He's not going against FO/owner decisions or play of his players in front of the media. People like to say Rex is lying all the time in the media, but you really want him to come out and say "Tebow trade was not my idea, it was forced on me?". When he said something similar about Hill, there was a huge out roar about it. The ground and pound strategy now makes more sense considering what Sanchez has become as QB. Rex stressed G&P in Sanchez's rookie year and remember going into Sanchez's thrid year, we planning on "airing it out" with Sanchez. When Sanchez suffered that destructful game in BAL, all of a sudden G&P came back to the media. When we got blown out against NE this year, all of a sudden, more G&P. Considering what he had at QB, G&P was probably the only strategy he had
With a new GM coming on board I vote NO. If they are promoting a GM from within the organization then it wont matter as they will ALL be shitcanned next year . Why put off the inevitable,,start fresh rite now ....as I said let him walk.
71% of this site is not emotional knee jerk reaction type people. Thank god. It seems like those people dominate here.
^^^^ So I guess the success we had the first two years was due to "loaded" roster led by Thomas Jones. Mark Sanchez and Greene? Any competent coach would've won it his first 2 years? AFC championships don't make you a decent coach? OK.
