All I know is he wants the job and he loves our Jets. He cares more than any other candidate will. He brings the motivation and heart that this team needs I believe.
The Jets don't need nostalgia they just need good coaches who know what they are doing not because they love the Jets. You think Bill Parcells loved the Jets coming first from the Giants and then the Patriots? Rex would be a disaster even if at first the team played better eventually he would wear out his welcome. Are jets fans just gluttons for punishment?
I wouldn’t rule him out, but I would want to hear his legitimate plan for revitalizing the team. His last stint he had terrible OC’s and wasn’t able to correct the problem…..sound familiar. He has the passion and never put a soft team on the field. Tough call
They're making money off all these idiots who wanted Rodgers and Devante. Now they're about to make more money just by signing Rex. The circus never stops. It's really getting ridiculous at this point. Seriously.
The big knock against him is he was all talk when things went south. True, people can grow and improve with reflection, but since he's been a coach, he hasn't shed that all talk characterization. I think the odds are 10% glory and 90% circus fire.
Heck, I’m from Minnesota (so I’ve suffered during my Vikings fandom, haha) and even I want Rex back. Just because the NFL is better with Rex Ryan on the sidelines. Good luck!
You know that ex girlfriend that you reconnect with years later and things seem great and new at first and then as time passes you remember why you broke up in the first place? THAT is what it would be like with Rex Ryan. I'm good.
Sadly, I think you're the only one who notices that. From the look at all these pro-Rex comments it's safe to say a lot of fans have their heads up their rear end.
Im all for Rex getting a second go at it,the passion and love he has for the team, everybody is bagging the team in media but not him his pounding the desk and saying get me in there,Go Rex
I'm OK with Rex Ryan being coach of the Jets in 2025 on the conditions that: A) Aaron Rodgers is not on the Jets in 2025 B) The Jets go back to the Ground & Pound Offense Rex Ryan & Aaron Rodgers together would be as toxic as Andre Rison & Left Eye Lopez......
Ground and pound in the 2025 NFL won't work, that is part of the negative on rex or was, that he lived in the Trent dilfur era where of you had a great defense and ran ground and pound you could win a Superbowl. I think the running game has been severely under rated by the anawienies, Barclay in Philly is making hurts look much better than he is. But rex for example never had offenses throwing to the rbs. Obviously he could change, ground and pound is 1960s NFL.
@@Marcello2005 No, they throw the ball too. Harbaugh isn't known for ground and pound and both teams have a vertical game. There is a difference between ground and pound and a balanced run/ pass team.the 68 Jets were exactly that, after throwing for 4k yards in 67 bc the rbs were injured, the game plan was balanced ( it didn't help Namath threw a couple of 5 pick games&ewbank threatened to bench him) and it is how they won the superbowl. Ground and pound is basically unbalanced, it is run over pass and w ferocious defense. It is how Ravens won the 2000 Superbowl.
@ alright well it’s not like Rex is gonna run on every single offensive play. Don’t forget that we invested a pretty penny in the receiver position during our two year run. I’m not saying we 100% should hire Rex but he already acknowledged he would have to change things from last time.
@Marcello2005 Yeah he would, if he has any kind of self awareness..for example, I loved that rex loved to blitz ( sort of the opposite to Saleh with his cover 3 zone crap) ,but he would do it so much opposing teams knew it was coming and would put rbs and receivers into the vacated space and burn the Jets. He would need a really good offensive coaching staff ( this was the man who hired sperano and also kept schottenheimer ) and he would need to be heavily involved with all facets . He had Callahan as his ol coach and westoff as special teams, both brilliant, but his offensive coaches were generally not great and he basically ignores the offense. He also had the same problem Saleh did, he was unreactive when players screwed up for example. I put him in the category of he wouldn't be my first choice, but may be open to it. The big thing is having a GM that shares his vision but doesn't let Rex choose the personnel, he was horrible at that,he championed some real losers and drive away vilma and demario davis who became stars.
Rex would give the Jets a huge shot of confidence, swagger and toughness which they have sorely missed the last many seasons. Rex has a brilliant defensive mind but his antics and footers led to his players also making dumb penalties too. I think you're right Ian. I believe Rex wouldn't be so adamant and determined for another chance as head coach of the New York Jets if he didn't truly believe he could do things differently this time. Rex bleeds green like the rest of us here. It would be awesome to see him back patrolling the line in his signature sweater vest, white turtle neck and go get 'em style.
People clowned the Jets with Rex too!!!! I am tired of hearing about this staff he would hire. Please. His staffs were bad at the end of his tenure. What coach and GM would he get? Give me a break people.
Could you also see someone coming in to be the head coach ask Rex to join the team in a positional coach or defensive quality control position with the assistant HC title. I feel that’s a great way to go especially if you bring in an offensive coach. Rex has energy and passion both are great
With all due respect:: Rex never did better than 10-6. If you are old and you remmber 10-4, 10-3-1, 11-3, 11-2-1 and 12-1-1 teams not qualifying for the playoffs it doesn't seem like much. Also: it was Rex's firing from BUFFALO that eventually led to the current Bills Renaissance.
Never did better than 10-6 but literally made it to the AFC championship game twice. As long as you make the playoffs and belong there, it doesn’t really matter whether he went 10-6 or 13-3. It’s nice, but once the playoffs hit it’s just team against team.
Ian, what you said at the end about other coaches seeing the Jets as a laughing-stock, is exactly why they should bring in Rex. He loves us, and he'll get them playing up. This team needs to be pumped up to play, and needs to show discipline and honestly, basic football technique. Find him a decent OC, and I think it's the right move. We'll still be a joke, but I don't see any serious, experienced coaches coming here next year.
No. That's the problem with the Jets now. Stop running it back, or doing these band-aid fixes. I love Rex. But it's time to move on. Tear it ALL-THE-WAY down and build it back up correctly. A lot of people want Rex back. But remember Rex had TOO MUCH say in matters of personnel decisions and much of the 2 playoff teams he almost took to the Super Bowl were Mangini's players. Once Rex got he and Tannenbaum's guys in, it went down hill. Same thing when he was in Buffalo. Just no. Get a VP of Football Operations that's a buffer between the Johnson brothers, The GM and Front office, and the coaching staff, and let that person cook with his or her own GM, and Coach. No more going back.
Why don't we just bring back Tannenbaum, pull Leonard, Pace, Ferguson, Mangold out of retirement and have them all play . Lets try that! Come on gimme a break! No! Stop trying to make sense of this. Stop!
I hate to say it, but it’s nice to see a candidate who really wants the job and gives a crap about the Jets. Rex is a Jet fan! I feel like anybody else that would come here would be doing it strictly for the money or a promotion. None of the other candidates would actually wanna be here because they love the Jets.
@@wraynephew6838 let's not forget that was with Eric Magini's roster (not saying Rex got lucky, there's a reason Ryan got further with that roster than Mangini did)
If Rex comes back we need to ensure that if we need offensive talent we take it. I remember when we had him we literally only drafted defense even if we didn’t need another defensive player. And our offenses suffered accordingly
Rex Ryan defense is way more better than Saleh’s defense. Ryan defense stayed disciplined and tough. Rex brings a lot of energy and gets the best out of the team.
What does Pete Carrol and Todd Bowles BOTH have in common???? They were new head coaches that learned how to be a head coach with the Jets; LEARNED what they did wrong, then became Super Bowl head coaches with other teams. So as far as Rex coaching the Jets, That is a 1000% YES from me! He could take the Jets to the Super Bowl!!!!!!
Everyone loves to point out how rex hasnt coached in a long time and that'll affect him... you guys are forgetting, yes he hasn't coached but hes been spectating the jets as a fan like we are. So he's seeing whats wrong with team from both perspectives.
I don't mind that much, but I rather have a offensive head coach, the reason is that when you have a good OC all other teams want him,.but if you are a great OC / head Coach you will still be there .
Tbh Rex is my favorite coach. Rex is a big part of why i became a Jets fan. Hes got the energy and pride we need. I havent seen anything like that in any of our coaches after Rex. Just our head coaches hands crossed and pouting on the sideline smh. Tbh if we are going to win or lose id rather lose with Rex as our coach than any of these other soft ass coaches weve had since Rex. BRING HIM BACK! What other coaching candidates would even consider coming to this mess of a franchise?! And say someone does get the job. You think they are going to take it serious when they get here like Rex will? Cmon man. Hire Rex and get a badass offensive coordinator. Tbh we havent had a good offensive coordinator in a looong time, i feel its crippling the jets more and more every year. Things just cant get worse than this year. I say give Rex a 2nd chance. 2 AFC Championships in a row? We havent even been close enough to smell the playoffs since smh i used to love watching my team play. Now its damn near the worst part of the damn week for me. Thank god we have a bye this week but these mfs still might wake up on monday with an L!!!😅😅🤦🤦🤷
We may only see him on TV right now, but what do you think he's doing when he's not on TV? What do you think he's doing during the off season when he's not on TV? Football is in this dude's blood in a major way. I'd bet that the overwhelming majority of his time is still spent on football coach-type things.
Rex is a big personality i would take him over any first time coordinators wannabe head coaches but there are a few out there to consider Vrabel and Gruden all we know is Rex wants this we don't have a clue about those others Rex has been out of coaching since 2016 his old school coaching and culture might just be what this group of players need but he would have to bring in an innovative offensive staff to be competitive
Screw it, man, run it back with rex. What do we have to lose? We're so bad. I wish we weren't in this position talking about rex, but what else can we do? This organization will destroy any first-time head coach
I am leaning towards Flores. But, I am OK with Rex being the head coach again. As long as the new GM and Rex get the Offensive Coordinator right. I would even check and see if Bart Scott would be interested as well.
I think Rex Ryan would be a good defensive minded head coach who will adapt and work with the available talent on hand. He'll need a good OC and a good GM to support his ambitions for the team. Against form I think it is possible that Woody might embrace the thought of bringing Rex in, but he'll absolutely get a lowball GM to hamper him and a limited budget for hiring an OIC which means he'll end up with a lowball candidate there too. It seems that Woody just doesn't want a winning team, at least not at the prices victory costs in coaching salaries.
Best believe if you get Rex Ryan you're going to have players that want to run through walls for him I think he deserves a second chance not saying that we should have listened to the other candidates but he's definitely top three of my list for coaches to get
Okay, if they can't get the Bel man, then REX 2 will work. Based on the candidates mentioned so far, Rex would be the best option. He would be inheriting a very good foundation that's ready to win now. That's why he wants coach them, because he know he can win with the team. Rex coaching that defense? Forget it, they're going to be coming for you strong and hard. If he took them to the championship game twice, he'll do it again, because this team is better than the previous two Jet teams. He'll take team to the bowl.
He will be a much better head coach this time around, don't look at him as the same ole rex but even that version of rex is leaps and bounds better than what we've had since he coached the team. But I expect him to improve upon his failures and his decisions. He's going to be a more open minded and more willing to integrate newer nuances of the game into his coaching style, bring in people who would really help him in today's football. I'm willing to bet that he will have a good structure in place to develop a QB.
Yes! I’d love to get Rex back. Why are so many people against Rex becoming the next HC of the JETS? I dunno about you, but as a Jets fan, nobody in my entire lifetime has brought us closer to the Super Bowl(TWO years in a row!) than Rex Ryan. More than anyone else, I want Rex. First of all, because of what I just said, and secondly because he WANTS the job! I don’t see any other potential coaches speaking up. To me this is huge. I feel Rex’s passion for this team. That is so important. Especially after this Season. And lastly, because the Jets need a BIG personality as HC. A guy who is going to impose his will on the team, inspire them & demand results. That’s Rex. With his larger than life persona & forceful nature, i believe he can also handle Woody’s meddling better than others. He’s not gonna fold or bend to anyone’s will. Rex just feels right. Get a kick ass OC & perhaps keep Ulbricht as the DC if he wants to stay and we’ll be solid.
Rex has energy alright, maybe for 1 or 2 years, but, he damn near burned everybody out including himself and he was so glad to leave Woody for the more peaceful and loyal Buffalo Bills. Bought as custom bus with Woody's $$$$ and planted himself on a fairly good team, but, they didn't improve very much at all. NO playoffs, No Super Bowls and only when he left the Bills began to move forward into the consistent division leader they are today. Beware the charming smiles and the cheerleading banter you want to hear, he is VERY clever, but, who will his staff be? Hopefully they will keep their bodies from interfering on kick returns...Is that the attitude JET fans want? Why, if Rex took accountability did coach Tony Sporano and others take most of the blame for his inability to move the team forward? And,FYI, originally Mike Tannenbaum and John Izik were the ones who kept things together, picked the talent and managed the organization, NOT Rex.
I know I’ll get crushed for this take but I want Daboll as the coach. His stock is down so we may have a shot at him now. I’d like to see Daboll get a chance to draft his own QB and develop him. If there is a legit good option who would take the jets job I’d like to hear it but I don’t think it exists.
This may only make sense if they decide to bring Rogers and the offensive staff back and Rex installs his defense. If Rogers leaves and they blow it all up then there's no point.
I double down on what i said yesterday, He loves the Jets and actually wants to be here. THis guy would be exactly what we need. What he needs to do this time is stay away from the Roster though. He made some poor roster choices
One of the comnenters put it hesr, about the old lover looking better with time. I love Rex energy and love for the team, just look at the stiffs who succeeded him, talk about dead fish ( saleh had great word salad, but his all gas no brakes was a joke). Made being a fan fun. Not all the post 2010 problems were him, Idzik set out to destroy rex. Idzik holds the distinction of drafting 3 wr that their rookie season didnt catch 1 pass.. and tennenbaum was not a great gm either. That said, Rex has big questions,and how much has he learned,? -has he finally given up the bullshit defense wins games and the offense only needs to be good enough. It is why he ignored the offense and was oblivious to problems. -can he therefore be q CEO hc? Can he give up calling the defense? He is a great defemsive mind , can make players look better than they are, but that isnt enough. We need a hc, not a dc+. Rex is a better dc than saleh ( better able to adjust for sure) but that isnt enough. - players played hard for rex and never gave up, that is true. Under rex sauce would have rex's footprints on his butt. Idzik gave him a shit roster and he went 8 and 8. But ppl forget rex teams had problems with accountability too. Rex was a bit too much the players coach. There was sloppy o play, but most of it was stupid penalties, his teams were highly penalized and unless my memory fails me, for all his bluster rex on the sidelines or after seemed to hold them accountable either. For a man as outgoing as he was, he was surprisungly sedate w.players,esp in game. Wilkerson got a lot of late hit penalties and the like, and this was long before the current rules. Has he changed? - who will be the GM? If Tex gets hired was it the GM or Woody? If not tue GM, it could be idzik 2.0 ( i am not a violent or angry person, but to this day Idzik picture makes me want to light him on fire and put it out with a pair of old fashined metal baseball spike shoes. - likewise who is the qb? Rodgers would he toxic, Rex would not be beholden to him the way saleh was . There obviously could be a pull to hire rex, ticket sales are in the shitter. Hiring rex would sell more tickets then trying to promote rodgers as the savior or drafting/ hyping a young qb ( the qbs in this draft class are not exciting imo). For fans looking for a coach who seems to care, Rex would be attractive. His time out of the game doesnt bother me, he analyzes the nfl for a living and he knows it has moved on. Would he be my first choice? No, bc of the questions i have, it would look like a band aid. But then when i hear stiffs like mccarthy and nagy , or eric bienemy, rex would be attractive.
You guys said "playoffs" with Rodgers and then later with Devante. It hasn't been apparent yet you so-called "fans" are driving this team into the gutter??????
We need a president of the team to run the entire operation. Curtis Martin is a great choice. We did Rex already. Let’s develop as an organization and keep woody away. The only way the jets will be considered a serious team
I admit his passion definitely fires me up. But i still am hesitant. If teams wabted as their HC or DC, then thry wouldve by now. He doesnt get many interviews these days, and i take that as a sign honestly. I wouldnt mind Rex, hed at least bring energy and fun to the team. But im still in the find a coach thats coaching now. Aaron Glenn, Mike Vrabel, Brian Flores, Ben Johnson, Jessse Minter, Kliff Kingsbury, give me one of these guys. But if we choose Rex, im not gonna think, its gonna be worse. Just would be a little hesitant
We want Rex !! Talent isn’t the problem with this team it’s leadership/ defense and offensive scheme Rex fixes 2 of those problems immediately we then have to hope we find our version of OC Ben Johnson , resign tae keep dodgers together one more year , go get fields reunite him with G5 for the following year we will be set
I think he’s the perfect bridge coach. The job is not desirable at the moment. Next year will be football purgatory with the state of this current roster. Best case scenario he leads this current roster to a wild card birth and if it’s a disaster you fire him and the roster is better set up for a full rebuild with more financial flexibility and a fresh start for the new guy.
I agree. During the 2010 season. He had that defense that took away the pre-snap read. It was brilliant!
He’ll bring us the energy needed
Isn’t it a massive red flag that the Jets are the only team in the entire NFL that would even give him a head coaching interview! much less hire him?!
Hahahaha I'm gonna switch teams bro this is crazy
All I know is he wants the job and he loves our Jets. He cares more than any other candidate will. He brings the motivation and heart that this team needs I believe.
The Jets don't need nostalgia they just need good coaches who know what they are doing not because they love the Jets. You think Bill Parcells loved the Jets coming first from the Giants and then the Patriots? Rex would be a disaster even if at first the team played better eventually he would wear out his welcome. Are jets fans just gluttons for punishment?
I want Rex Ryan back leading this team
If we keep Aaron Rodger’s. I would bring him at Head Coach , Mike McCarthy as Offensive Coordinator. And Jeff Ulbrich as Defense Coordinator.
I wouldn’t rule him out, but I would want to hear his legitimate plan for revitalizing the team. His last stint he had terrible OC’s and wasn’t able to correct the problem…..sound familiar. He has the passion and never put a soft team on the field. Tough call
I like Rex and another reason is that he has a passion for the Jets. I really think he would do a good job.
Just wanted to mention that while we disagree about this your segments are very much part of the routine in my home and greatly appreciated.
I'm all for it....Bring him back....I've been wanting him for awhile to be honest....
Pause

It's really getting ridiculous at this point. Seriously.
Absolutely not! He failed at the end and failed in Buffalo! What am I missing!

I don’t mind....Rex is also ground and pound. We have the RB's for that!
The Jokes brought in the clown, A-Rod so they may as well consider Rex, Krusty, Oopsy and Bozo for their head coach.
Rex had a losing record as jets head coach and the butt fumble happened on his watch. He drafted and coached mark sanchez.
What about as a DC/Assistant HC with Flores as HC? That wold be physical gold
You want no part of Flores. I.lived the Flores experience. The average fan has no idea of some of the stuff Flores pulled in Miami.
I want him man. He loves the jets and is just like one of us
He was great with the Mangini built team. Maybe he just needs a super personnel guy to fill the roster. He then just coaches them up.🤔
He took us to two Championships , he’s a great coach . I’m down for that 🙏🏽
That was over a decade ago. There is a reason why Rex Ryan has not been offered a coaching job since.

It really is the only move the Jets can do considering the owner won’t sell
Rex Ryan defense is way more better than Saleh’s defense. Ryan defense stayed disciplined and tough. Rex brings a lot of energy and gets the best out of the team.
Can't hate on Rex. At the very least he brings the energy, fire and leadership.

I don't mind that much, but I rather have a offensive head coach, the reason is that when you have a good OC all other teams want him,.but if you are a great OC / head Coach you will still be there .
I would love this move!!
Need to get the big front office hire done first before the HC!
The last time we were half decent he was our coach, I say it’s worth a shot at this point
REX WOULD DO A WHOLE LOT WITH THIS JETS TEAM . 4-2 PLAYOFF RECORD ALL ROAD VICTORIES .
Tbh Rex is my favorite coach. Rex is a big part of why i became a Jets fan. Hes got the energy and pride we need. I havent seen anything like that in any of our coaches after Rex. Just our head coaches hands crossed and pouting on the sideline smh. Tbh if we are going to win or lose id rather lose with Rex as our coach than any of these other soft ass coaches weve had since Rex. BRING HIM BACK! What other coaching candidates would even consider coming to this mess of a franchise?! And say someone does get the job. You think they are going to take it serious when they get here like Rex will? Cmon man. Hire Rex and get a badass offensive coordinator. Tbh we havent had a good offensive coordinator in a looong time, i feel its crippling the jets more and more every year. Things just cant get worse than this year. I say give Rex a 2nd chance. 2 AFC Championships in a row? We havent even been close enough to smell the playoffs since smh i used to love watching my team play. Now its damn near the worst part of the damn week for me. Thank god we have a bye this week but these mfs still might wake up on monday with an L!!!😅😅🤦🤦🤷
Ahh what the hell bring him back…at least he has jets pride
Make it happen!!!!
We may only see him on TV right now, but what do you think he's doing when he's not on TV? What do you think he's doing during the off season when he's not on TV? Football is in this dude's blood in a major way. I'd bet that the overwhelming majority of his time is still spent on football coach-type things.
He’s probably the only guy who wants the job
Bring back Rex and Win 🏆 😂😊
Rex is a big personality i would take him over any first time coordinators wannabe head coaches but there are a few out there to consider Vrabel and Gruden all we know is Rex wants this we don't have a clue about those others Rex has been out of coaching since 2016 his old school coaching and culture might just be what this group of players need but he would have to bring in an innovative offensive staff to be competitive
I'm all for it. It would absolutely cement the Jets as an eternal clown organization.
😂😂😂
Crazy thought... What if Gruden did a OC position/Assistant head coach ?
Screw it, man, run it back with rex. What do we have to lose? We're so bad. I wish we weren't in this position talking about rex, but what else can we do? This organization will destroy any first-time head coach
I am leaning towards Flores. But, I am OK with Rex being the head coach again. As long as the new GM and Rex get the Offensive Coordinator right.
I would even check and see if Bart Scott would be interested as well.
Give me Rex Ryan and Louis Reddick
Yes please
Definitely all 4 it
I'm all for it.
I'm on board
I think Rex Ryan would be a good defensive minded head coach who will adapt and work with the available talent on hand. He'll need a good OC and a good GM to support his ambitions for the team. Against form I think it is possible that Woody might embrace the thought of bringing Rex in, but he'll absolutely get a lowball GM to hamper him and a limited budget for hiring an OIC which means he'll end up with a lowball candidate there too. It seems that Woody just doesn't want a winning team, at least not at the prices victory costs in coaching salaries.
Well it can’t get any worse , do it , I’ve essentially given up on this team , but Rex would intrigue me to give it a go next year
Give it to him, at least he wants to be here
Best believe if you get Rex Ryan you're going to have players that want to run through walls for him I think he deserves a second chance not saying that we should have listened to the other candidates but he's definitely top three of my list for coaches to get
Okay, if they can't get the Bel man, then REX 2 will work. Based on the candidates mentioned so far, Rex would be the best option. He would be inheriting a very good foundation that's ready to win now. That's why he wants coach them, because he know he can win with the team. Rex coaching that defense? Forget it, they're going to be coming for you strong and hard. If he took them to the championship game twice, he'll do it again, because this team is better than the previous two Jet teams. He'll take team to the bowl.
J - E = T = S.... REX REX REX. Let's do it, whatevs
We need rex
He will be a much better head coach this time around, don't look at him as the same ole rex but even that version of rex is leaps and bounds better than what we've had since he coached the team. But I expect him to improve upon his failures and his decisions. He's going to be a more open minded and more willing to integrate newer nuances of the game into his coaching style, bring in people who would really help him in today's football. I'm willing to bet that he will have a good structure in place to develop a QB.
Yes! I’d love to get Rex back. Why are so many people against Rex becoming the next HC of the JETS? I dunno about you, but as a Jets fan, nobody in my entire lifetime has brought us closer to the Super Bowl(TWO years in a row!) than Rex Ryan. More than anyone else, I want Rex. First of all, because of what I just said, and secondly because he WANTS the job! I don’t see any other potential coaches speaking up. To me this is huge. I feel Rex’s passion for this team. That is so important. Especially after this Season. And lastly, because the Jets need a BIG personality as HC. A guy who is going to impose his will on the team, inspire them & demand results. That’s Rex. With his larger than life persona & forceful nature, i believe he can also handle Woody’s meddling better than others. He’s not gonna fold or bend to anyone’s will. Rex just feels right. Get a kick ass OC & perhaps keep Ulbricht as the DC if he wants to stay and we’ll be solid.
I want a coach that’s a fan of the team. I’m fine with Rex
Ian, who do you think he would hire as OC and DC? He would be great in a ceo type role, no play calling in my opinion
Rex has energy alright, maybe for 1 or 2 years, but, he damn near burned everybody out including himself and he was so glad to leave Woody for the more peaceful and loyal Buffalo Bills. Bought as custom bus with Woody's $$$$ and planted himself on a fairly good team, but, they didn't improve very much at all. NO playoffs, No Super Bowls and only when he left the Bills began to move forward into the consistent division leader they are today. Beware the charming smiles and the cheerleading banter you want to hear, he is VERY clever, but, who will his staff be? Hopefully they will keep their bodies from interfering on kick returns...Is that the attitude JET fans want? Why, if Rex took accountability did coach Tony Sporano and others take most of the blame for his inability to move the team forward? And,FYI, originally Mike Tannenbaum and John Izik were the ones who kept things together, picked the talent and managed the organization, NOT Rex.
I know I’ll get crushed for this take but I want Daboll as the coach. His stock is down so we may have a shot at him now. I’d like to see Daboll get a chance to draft his own QB and develop him. If there is a legit good option who would take the jets job I’d like to hear it but I don’t think it exists.
This may only make sense if they decide to bring Rogers and the offensive staff back and Rex installs his defense. If Rogers leaves and they blow it all up then there's no point.
We need a coach that wants it this bad.
So like…is Daniel Jones gonna be our new Mark Sanchez next season? In all seriousness tho I love Rex. Would love him back
Bring Rex back
I double down on what i said yesterday, He loves the Jets and actually wants to be here. THis guy would be exactly what we need. What he needs to do this time is stay away from the Roster though. He made some poor roster choices
One of the comnenters put it hesr, about the old lover looking better with time.
I love Rex energy and love for the team, just look at the stiffs who succeeded him, talk about dead fish ( saleh had great word salad, but his all gas no brakes was a joke). Made being a fan fun.
Not all the post 2010 problems were him, Idzik set out to destroy rex. Idzik holds the distinction of drafting 3 wr that their rookie season didnt catch 1 pass.. and tennenbaum was not a great gm either.
That said, Rex has big questions,and how much has he learned,?
-has he finally given up the bullshit defense wins games and the offense only needs to be good enough. It is why he ignored the offense and was oblivious to problems.
-can he therefore be q CEO hc? Can he give up calling the defense? He is a great defemsive mind , can make players look better than they are, but that isnt enough. We need a hc, not a dc+. Rex is a better dc than saleh ( better able to adjust for sure) but that isnt enough.
- players played hard for rex and never gave up, that is true. Under rex sauce would have rex's footprints on his butt. Idzik gave him a shit roster and he went 8 and 8.
But ppl forget rex teams had problems with accountability too. Rex was a bit too much the players coach. There was sloppy o play, but most of it was stupid penalties, his teams were highly penalized and unless my memory fails me, for all his bluster rex on the sidelines or after seemed to hold them accountable either. For a man as outgoing as he was, he was surprisungly sedate w.players,esp in game. Wilkerson got a lot of late hit penalties and the like, and this was long before the current rules. Has he changed?
- who will be the GM? If Tex gets hired was it the GM or Woody? If not tue GM, it could be idzik 2.0 ( i am not a violent or angry person, but to this day Idzik picture makes me want to light him on fire and put it out with a pair of old fashined metal baseball spike shoes.
- likewise who is the qb? Rodgers would he toxic, Rex would not be beholden to him the way saleh was .
There obviously could be a pull to hire rex, ticket sales are in the shitter. Hiring rex would sell more tickets then trying to promote rodgers as the savior or drafting/ hyping a young qb ( the qbs in this draft class are not exciting imo). For fans looking for a coach who seems to care, Rex would be attractive.
His time out of the game doesnt bother me, he analyzes the nfl for a living and he knows it has moved on.
Would he be my first choice? No, bc of the questions i have, it would look like a band aid. But then when i hear stiffs like mccarthy and nagy , or eric bienemy, rex would be attractive.
I love Rex Ryan.....players play for him. And HE WILL BRING A SPARK. Dare I say playoff? BRING IT!!!!
You guys said "playoffs" with Rodgers and then later with Devante. It hasn't been apparent yet you so-called "fans" are driving this team into the gutter??????
My take? No. Some Jets fan here are absolutely delusional to bring Rex back.
You are a shining ray of green light in the midst of football darkness my friend.
We need a president of the team to run the entire operation. Curtis Martin is a great choice. We did Rex already. Let’s develop as an organization and keep woody away. The only way the jets will be considered a serious team
bring him back at least he wants the fricking job
Pleeeeeeeease, Brian Flores. I beg .
I admit his passion definitely fires me up. But i still am hesitant. If teams wabted as their HC or DC, then thry wouldve by now. He doesnt get many interviews these days, and i take that as a sign honestly.
I wouldnt mind Rex, hed at least bring energy and fun to the team.
But im still in the find a coach thats coaching now. Aaron Glenn, Mike Vrabel, Brian Flores, Ben Johnson, Jessse Minter, Kliff Kingsbury, give me one of these guys. But if we choose Rex, im not gonna think, its gonna be worse. Just would be a little hesitant
We want Rex !! Talent isn’t the problem with this team it’s leadership/ defense and offensive scheme Rex fixes 2 of those problems immediately we then have to hope we find our version of OC Ben Johnson , resign tae keep dodgers together one more year , go get fields reunite him with G5 for the following year we will be set
I think he’s the perfect bridge coach. The job is not desirable at the moment. Next year will be football purgatory with the state of this current roster. Best case scenario he leads this current roster to a wild card birth and if it’s a disaster you fire him and the roster is better set up for a full rebuild with more financial flexibility and a fresh start for the new guy.
Gruden head coach with Rex as defensive coordinator? Or Rex's head coach with Gruden as offensive coordinator?... Sign me up for either
