If Flaccid thinks hiring Brain Shot is going to sell PSLs he's insane. Maybe the guy is insecure and needs Tanny to hold his hand through every decision.
I'd take Rex over Spags for several reasons. He has been running a better D than Spags for a longer time. Before the Giants improbable SB run, was he high on anyones list?He also had 2 of the best 4-3 DE's in football and their backup was unknown but in the top 5. Too flavor of the month, and our personnel doesn't fit his scheme.. We have a ton of money and picks invested in 3-4 specific players, not even including Jenkins who can play either. Bryan Thomas(too small for a 4-3 end as we already witnessed), Harris,Pace and Ellis(not a 4-3 DT at this stage) are all 3-4 specific players. Let's not even talk about Gholston who is one of the highest paid players on the team and lost a season learning to be a 3-4 OLB. I think we can do what the Ravens do on D and be better on O. I'm a big proponent of the 3-4, especially when you spend so much time and money creating that look. Pitt, NE and Balt are dangerous nearly every year in the 3-4. Here is some further backup. http://www.nfl.com/news/story?id=09000d5d80d6974b&template=with-video-with-comments&confirm=true
Thanks for the painful Warren Sapp reference. For some reason I thought this thread was an even more painful reference to the Jets starting Rex Grossman next year.
One rookie HC is as good as another so why not Rex Ryan or Spags or Joe the Plumber for that matter..
After reading the Daily News today, i'm thinking we were going after a coordinator, all along. Tanny will never bring in anyone who could usurp his authority. He is not going to bring a coach in here that would overshadow him. I'm really starting to hate Tannenbaum.
I agree that the Jets never really were considering a "name" HC. All of that talk was simply to pacify the fanbase and perhaps lend some sense of competency to this franchise. Another rookie HC and more OJT. Such is life in Jetland..
