Just wanted to be a part of the comment trend. Seems like Jets stories are all the rave. Without the jets, the NFL may be irrelevant .

To all the Rex apologists out there – you are what your record says you are. The Jets are sliding down a slippery slope with no end in sight. THAT belongs to Rex.

Time to fire the blowhard.

Manish never names a credible source. All his reports are garbage. Please stop posting his articles. It is just making this site into the TMZ for football.

So let me get this straight, he wants the money and the power to fix the mess he created?

We suffered through 3 years of Sparano in Miami as HC before he joined the Jets. Decent guy, players like playing for him and worked as hard as anyone to succeed.

Unfortunately, his idea of a good offense is similar to Rex Ryan’s…..ground and pound and if you get behind, you are out of luck. The offensive passing game in the NFL is too much for him and his offensive philospy doesn’t work with the amount of points being scored today. Prior to coming to Miami as head coach, he was the offensive line coach in Dallas and apparently did a very good job.

Sparano will make someone a very good position coach…but he isn’t a head coach or offensive coordinator.

Is it just me, or has Sparano ruined every team he’s coached? I could see him winning a few high school games.

“Some people like to say the Giants are the big brother team and the Jets are the little brother team. I have news for you: We are the better team. We are the big brother,” Ryan, who guaranteed his team would win the Super Bowl title before the 2011 season started, wrote.

“When people ask me what it’s like to share New York with the Giants, my response is always I am not sharing it with them — they are sharing it with me. … It seems clear that right now we are the better team and we are going to remain the better team for the next 10 years. Whether you like it or not, those are the facts and that’s what is going to happen.” – Rex Ryan

I told Jest fans 5 years ago, that this would happen. I told them that if Rex kept sprouting off about Super Bowls, and they did not reach one, that he would soon be tuned out, and it looks like it is happening. It looks like he has been humbled though, and that’s a good thing. He might be a decent HC, but he needs to learn to let his teams play do the talking. Someone might be getting a hell of a DC, because I’m not sure any owner wants to deal with the guy at this point. Somewhere down the line he might be hired as a HC again, but he’s going to have to show that he’s not the same guy that he was in NY.

People need to STOP PANICKING! All is not lost. The season is SALVAGEABLE, no matter who is playing QB! All Rex needs to do is go into the game against the Buffalonian’s with the right game plan, i.e. keep it simple, play good defense, run the ball, and try to get deep into the 4th quarter with the score say, oh, I dunno….zero to zero……and then bust out that Azz Munch of Liberty Play they called against the Patriots, but this time it will work because NOBODY WILL BE EXPECTING IT! That’s the ticket, cuz I gotta see that play ONE MORE TIME.

If this guys wasn’t on the hot seat before….after these comments, I hope he is now.

Who else could he possibly blame for the Jets issues while trying to make himself look good.

Didn’t he hire Tony Sporano? I don’t know if he made the decision to bring Tebow in….but he certainly didn’t coach him up or change the game plan to use him. McElroy wins a game for them and then he doesn’t activate him for the next game or two?

He appears to spend zero time on the offensive side of the ball.

I think someone said it earlier….that he appears to be in over his head.

One more reason to fire Rex-big mouth-Ryan is , after starting to win games against division bully Patriots, he is 0-4 in the last two seasons. BB and TB has figured him out. Jets have no chance under RR and Sanchez. The earlier the better.

“Let’s face the facts. Rex Ryan is a terrible coach”
——————————————
Idk about that – Dude frustrated Peyton/Brady in the playoffs – you look at the jets defensive roster and …. there’s maybe Revis and not much else (especially up front) …

You gotta give the guy credit as a defensive coach – if he had a better QB/Offensive Coordinator – his team would’ve probably had won a superbowl or two.

1-Rex took a team he inherited to 2 conf finals. The current team is his own and it stinks.
2-Players went out to bash back up QB and now Rex’s ppl are talking behind to put the franchise in bad position to further his personal agenda. He has created this unhealthy culture of ‘going behind and blab to media’ that is detrimental for healthy org.
3-He is putting all the mess upon the Front office and owners and taking ZERO responsibility.
Non of the above are quality of a good HC. Fire him, kick Sanchez and rebuild as soon as possible.

@jetstizzi85 look I’m not going to argue wit u because you are clear not thinkin in your right frame of mind to believe a washed up Berry Farve would lead yall to anywhere…I get he is a HOF but check dudes stats most passing TD, and most INT so yu never knew who or what you were going to get. But like I stated earlier Mangini built the championship teams because as contracts expired and trades were made people were released you Have a team created by Rex. LT retired, Bart only came cause the Ravens wouldn’t give him that max deal and plus Rex was his DC, yall let Braylon Edwards go, besides he dropped passes left and right anyway, Holmes ain’t been the same since his SB catch Hell all Rex can hang his hat on is Cromartie and Revis but guess who drafted Revis Mangini…so we see how good of job Rex can do with someone else team just can’t cut it on his on

Gee, how come they aren’t saying “Rex is quitting on his team” and “Rex is showing his real self – a prima-donna” or “Rex threatens to take his ball and go home”? Guess there’s a different standard for a guy who says “Play me or trade me” and a guy who says “Play it my way or fire me”.

A few years back When Mcnabb and Reid were in Philly, I told my father-in-law from Philly and a die hard Eagles fan that as long as the two of them are with the eagles, they will never win a superbowl. The canned Mcnabb and everyone jumped on the Vick ban-wagon saaying they are the dream team. I again told my father-in-law that Reid is still the coach so there is no way they can win.
Sometimes no matter how much you stack a team, you have to have the right coach, I know coaches don’t win games, but without a good coach your luck runs dry.
Rex is a loud mouth coach and at best the 4th worse coach currently in the position of head coach.
Now I am a Patriots fan, and we all know the Jets are always a threat to the Pats, the Jets certainly have the team to make a playoff spot each year, but they need that one key ingrediant, a good coach to take them there.
If I was the owner of the Jets I would demote Ryan to DC and hire a new head coach.

A couple of comments

1. All you need to know about Rex’s player evaluation skills is that he called the 2012 Jets his most talented team.

2. All you need to know about Rex’s management skills is that how the Jets are viewed by the rest of the league…..a circus.

3. There is no personal responsibility taken on the Jets. Its NEVER their fault. The biggest offender is the HC, and this last story just sums it up. The number of people he’s thrown under the bus is growing longer every day.

4. He’s never coming to the Pats. It took a little while, but the Pats have figured out Rex’s defense and over the last 2 years haven’t scored less than 30 on it.

5. Over the last 2 years the Jets have beaten only ONE team with a winning record.

6. This latest story proves Rex’s that his only viable skill is his manipulation of the media. He now wants out, and he wants the rest of the league to think the current Jets disaster “wasn’t his fault”

7. As a Pats fan and Jets hater, there is no other place that I want to see Rex Ryan than as HC of the NJ Jets. Let the debacle continue. LOL

@ mrtreyseven – did Mangini take his team on a deep playoff run? Mangini had Favre and didnt even make the playoffs. Rex comes in with a rookie QB and brings in pieces that worked better (Edwards / Holmes / Cro / LT / Bart) and makes 2 AFC Championship games. Rex deserves the credit for that. It didnt work under Mangini with a HOF QB
