I don't give a shit what the coach does in his own free time. Rex lost the locker room and this type of shit happens to every coach, all that matters is how he winds up handling and fixing it..there was drama in week 3 and Rex sent Mason packing very promptly. He probably misjudged where the real issue was, but mistakes happen. If you're really that butthurt over the fact that Rex may like feet, from his own wife none the less, you may need to choose another team or sport to follow because you're obviously a little bit too sensitive and care a bit too much about what people think of you. People hate the Jets, they did before Rex came here, and do now. The difference is Rex takes that in, says fuck you to all of them and them keeps on pissing them off. That's the type of guy I want as a coach.
Wow conceding defeat already? Last time I looked the winning of the SB is the goal of playing the regular season :sad:
Yeah it's worked out well... culminating in this complete joke of a season. As for the feet, you're a professional coach, conduct yourself more privately. placing adds on swinger sites and taping your wife getting her feet licked by other dudes is idiotic by someone who should know a lot better. Not all coaches lose the locker room. I have never seen a team after just an 8-8 season behave like this. this is a team completely out of control and that is a direct reflection of the coach. throwing their QB under the bus, killing the team to the media. Rex has turned the Jets into a complete circus, a joke. The sooner 2013 comes the better because we'll at least be done with this buffoon and sanchez.
You have to start with stability, solid drafting, discipline, and getting the team ready to play before you start talking super bowl. the rex ryan jets are a testament to that.
Why the hell are you so fixated on the foot video? There are certainly valid reasons to criticize RR but that is just stupid to keep harping on. It has absolutely no bearing on anything. We all knew that after his first 2 very successful seasons that if the team was any less successful in year 3 that the idiots would come out of the woodwork calling for his head. Case in point.
How about we set our sights on a commanding division title to set us up for success in the post season?
Less successful? i am fine with a 8-8 season, what I'm not fine with is the team completely imploding and acting like a bunch of idiots to the media. a team completely out of control and has been all season under Rex. I wanted rex gone right after the swinger ads and foot videos with other dudes. it's an embarrassment on the organization and the fans. it also shows the type of person rex is, a dimwitted submissive queer boy, no wonder he completely lost the team, who could respect this guy? he has no self control and his team just acts like him. all talk, nothing to back it up.
Rex is the first coach to give this franchise a set of balls and people just can't handle it. If you lived through Coslett, Kotite, Carrol, Herm, etc. I don't know how you could be so torn up over one .500 season. Would you rather have a coach who projects a stern, conservative image to the public but never takes the team anywhere? Because that's what we've had in the past. If you can't appreciate the amount of success he's had so far then you should probably go root for some other team.
I hope yuou understand I was not talking about what I think the Jets should do. I was talking about what I think they are likely to do. Even though I think they should bring Edwards back, I think it more likely than not that they do not.
I've lived through all those eras and as bad as they were I never saw the team act like this ever. the behavior of the players and coaching staff top to bottom is a complete embarrassment. I also dealt with people like you who apologized for herm because "he got the jets to the playoffs", one 1/4 away from the ccg. eventually you guys come around. You should probably go root for another team since losing two AFCCG's seems to be the high point for you. I call those seasons failures, just as big of a failure as any other season where you promise a super bowl and don't deliver. only jets fans can think two fails in the ccg as a good outcome, what a loser mentality. Rex got to the afccg on mangini's talent and drafts anyway. who has rex brought in? who has rex drafted?
I agree. I couldn't care less about what Rex does in his free time, especially when it comes to his wife. Rex has the perfect attitude to be a head coach. He just has to stop being the players best friend, and start coaching them. And if he cant do it, get guys that can. He started to do that when he got rid of Schotty and brought in Sparano. Now, the next step is to realize the qb sucks ass and to replace him. The guy's job is to win, not to be a saint. And he has shown an ability to do that. And if he works on his flaws, and shuts his mouth, he can still be a great coach.
Sure, there was obviously dissention in the locker room this season and it got a bit out of hand. That said, the media does everything it can to blow this shit out of proportion and you eat it up, hook, line and sinker. You would really rather start over after 2 AFCCGs in 3 years because Rex has a foot fetish? Gimme a freakin break man. If we see the same kind of messy situation with the players next year then maybe it's time to start questioning Rex's ability as a HC but I highly doubt that he won't learn a major lesson from what happened this year and make the necessary changes to avoid a similar situation next season.
That would be after year 4 on Rex, as this was his third year. And why would you not want Gruden? There are many coaches who have won nothing and had minimal success that get 2 and 3rd opportunities. I would take Gruden in a heartbeat over Rex.
So unless our coach wins the Super Bowl every season he should be replaced? I never said that the AFCGG is a "high point" so I'm not sure where you came up with that. However, if you can't admit that coming within a game of the SB in your first two seasons as HC is a pretty successful record than I'm not sure what to tell you. Please tell me who the last Jets coach to do that was... right. If we had gone 3-13 this year but there were no locker room issues and Rex's foot fetish hadn't been made public, would you be OK with that?
I tend to share the POV you are putting out here, and if it were last year this time I would think what you are saying is clearly correct. But... are we to assume there's no connection at all between the very public way in which the foot videos came out in December of 2010, and the events of this past year? Let me put it this way. I don't care what Ryan and his wife do for chuckles. But I also recognize that perception can take on a role, a presence, that is real. And I certainly can't say that the fact not so much of what Ryan and wife do in private but that he as a public person took these videos and somehow they got out, and that they apparently were using swinger sites or something like it, shows a certain lack of judgment. And discipline. In other words its the risk taking with the possibility of public exposure that concerns me more than what they do in private. And it is entirely plausible that the sort of lack of discipline and foolish risk taking that was going on with the whole video thing may have something to do with the players' views of Ryan, and the way they at many times looked and played undiscplined themselves. I am not saying I believe there is a direct connection. I just think we can't say with certainty there is none.
"Sanchez did not regress this year. His stats improved while the team around him regressed." Can you please pass what you're smoking, I could use a hit.
That sounds like a HUGE stretch to me and I don't agree at all. The guy is a football coach, not a presidential candidate.
The only stat that is arguably relevant showing improvement, and that stat itself is problematic, is the Qb rating. Yes, it showed modest improvement. But fumbles lost were up (fumbles are not counted in Qb rating), interceptions increased, and the ratio of Qb hits to sacks was adverse (meaning he was hit less than average but got sacked more than average). Pick sixes and boneheaded throws were obviously not an area where improvement was evident.
Because the guy won ONE SB. and then his next 6 years afterwards were a failure. and the four years behind this. Rex has gotten us one game away from being in the SB, twice in a row. The guy obviously shows potential. Everyone is going to have a down year, every coach and team has them, and I think it's absolutely retarded just to fire the guy when it happens. let's, for ONCE, just stick with a coach.
It's a huge stretch to wonder whether there might be some connection? how so? I didn't say there was a definite connection. I was just taking issue with the notion that there is "obviously" no connection.
