No, the Yorks wanted the new stadium and a competitive team. They can't stand Harbaugh. Harbaugh was banking on the Cowboys firing their coach and then Jerry Jones would pay him $12 MM/year.
Right, because Sanchez was so horrible: 2 AFC CGs, 1 Good year with RZ Offense, and 1 bad year. He was here for 4 years and in 1/2 of them he was playing in late-January. Whatta bust..................
U know.. Thats a great post. My friends were giving me shit about the d-line letting up runs and i kept saying "I'll take 100 yrds rushing over 400 yrds passing any day"
Man.. THAT NAME!!!!! How irrelevant is mark sanchez to this franchise its been 2 yrs since he played here let it goo
That's not the case always.... the Chicken in Boston, he was a DC before becoming a head coach and what are the Cheatriots known for other than Spygate and tainted Super Bowls? Their offense..... Marvin Lewis, another DC, while the Bengals have a pretty good defense they also have some studs on offense like Green and Bernard. Dalton puts up decent numbers for an average QB
Exceptions do not make the rule. Also, Marvin lewis would've been ran out of town years ago. He's not as good as Rex. its impossible for Rex not to know offense. He's too good at game planning to lack knowledge. What he doesn't do is micromanage or teach QBs mechanics, etc. We have specialists for those things and its always good policy to trust your specialists or hire better ones.
No one says he doesn't know a thing about offense, the problem is he isn't nearly involved enough in the game planning. Great coaches are usually control freaks and Rex is hardly a control freak, it's the same issue his father had. His father had one of the greatest QB weapons when he was in Philly but wasn't nearly as hands on with those Eagles offenses hence they always underachieved. Rex is the head coach.... not defensive head coach and let other people handle things. I have no idea if you have any management experience but my experience with managing people is if you rely on other people to handle things you don't last very long, I also coached high school basketball and while I would break the team into groups with my assistants I was always involved throughout practice and while my assistants would handle the game plan I always was the one who made the decisions on what type of defense we would play or if we were going facilitate the ball through a certain player or attempt to exploit a certain weakness. In order to be successful as a head coach in any sport you need to be way more hands on than Rex appears to be.
All the complainers do. There are different coaching styles and being a control freak is far from managerial best practice according to current research.
Actually the Pats are (were) known for a great defense and a round 6 draft pic. It was there D that won the SBs and they haven't won poop since their D went south. Remember all the rule changes that came about b/c the Pats Defense was so dominant smashing everything in sight?
Barcs, Rex is the head coach, not the defensive coordinator, so we have to look at the game plan on both sides of the ball. Defensively, It wasn't really a great game plan so much as it was the game plan he should've been running all year. Three and Four man rushes with zone coverage on the back end to protect the corners. Offensively the game plan was conservative and poor. A lot of short passes and a non-existent, non-creative running game that they abandoned early.
Preaching to the choir. Provided the scheme we run next year is a good fit, I wouldn't mind having him back but I know I'm in the very small minority.
Do you think the head coach of a football team should only be responsible for one side of the ball? I'll help you out, they're responsible for every player, unit, and coach on that team. A head coach who is only able to support one unit on the team is by definition not a head coach. That would describe a coordinator or assistant coach and that's exactly what Rex is.
A "great" game plan ends with your team winning the football game. Fuck, moral victories. This week is it for me. If the Jets lay and egg, as I expect, I'm calling for heads. Rex, figure out a way or "kiss Belichick's rings*".
Belichek is blessed with Brady. Just because a team has a good offense doesn't mean the head coach is responsible for it.
Basically what I've seen over the years with Rex's defense is lack of discipline. How many times have you seen and heard it. A guy is out of position or misses an assignment. Esp on third down when it counts. To me that's on the players first but the coaches too. And why do Jets D players love Rex so much. Because he isn't rigid and let's them take chances. And to my way of thinking it's again lack of discipline which you need along with talent to play D. We see it with the penalties. Don't get me started with that one!
If you want to get Rex praise for a losing game plan, then why not give him credit for putting Milliner in on a FG, on which he suffered the Achilles injury. These are the types of descisions which prove he has no idea. Ranks right up with the Sanchez call last year. Since when does Milliner try to block kicks.
