OK maybe it's Just me... Maybe my Love of the Jets and Saints is skewing what I am thinking but I will list my reasoning and you can see what you think for yourself.
I may be one of the few that didn't want the Jets to fire Rex Ryan, and am happy that he seems to be a fixture in the Jets organization. I also loved the OLD REX. The guy that talked about winning a Superbowl every year. They guy that didn't want to be the "little brother" in New York, and the guy that talked his players up like they were the greatest things since slice bread.
Most of you either clicked away or are like "your an idiot". I could be, but my personal opinion and taste is for a guy that goes for the gold every year and tells you he is doing it and not someone that has no personality, doesn't talk or gives you the organizational answer. You can call my way "classless" or "loud mouth" or whatever but to me that's what i want to see.
THE OLD REX was all of that. Did i get tired of him saying he was going to the Superbowl every year for the first 3 years? NO... he made it to the championship game 2 years in a row and if Victor Cruz didn't make the Jets look silly with a 96 yard catch and run for a TD, who knows what would have happened 2 years ago. This year was bad but he was also given nothing really on offense to work with to be honest. If he would have been 8-8 i would have been impressed 6-10 was about right.
Everyone here in NY says Rex should be a defensive coordinator and not a head coach. Well his brother is not a bad Def coord. in his own right. "the apples didn't fall far from the tree"
Rob has done a good job everywhere he has been. In 2 years he did help the cowboys get back to being a respectable defense and if he didn't get hit with a ton of injured (I know thats part of the game), his def was an upper tier def. The lack of turnovers is troubling, I will say that. You need to win the turn over battle to win games and it is hard to do that if you aren't creating any. But when a def player that seems to be consistently hurt and is getting older (Ware), says you are one of the best coaches he has ever had and that Rob made him think and see the game from his position like he has never seen before, that means a lot (31 sacks in 2 years btw)
Rob is a good 3-4 guy... and that's what the Saints are switching to. It was reported that he was offered and then fired from the job but I read that he turned it down (making more sense... you don't offer someone a job you know is outspoken like Ryan and then fire him for being outspoken). Read that Ryan thought if he failed in St Louis with the 4-3 (which he is not as comfortable with) he wouldn't get another job as easy. He also wasn't allowed to hire his own coaches as well.
The saints played will under Greg Williams (bounty or not), until the end. They sank (to my surprise) with Spags. 2 different personalities totally. I think the saints need that fiery passionate guy. Someone that will stand up, scream, make promises, and be confident that his def will be the best. Not a guy that tells you "it's a process". BTW I like how the Saints were ok with putting Joe Vitt in charge of the entire team this year but has never been mentioned as a coord candidate this time around.
