He isn't a great coach though, he knows nothing about offense and he mishandled the locker room big time.
He is a great coach. You just don't like him period. For whatever reason, it's personal with you. He revived the Jets franchise, he has routinely won games in which he had the team with less talent, he has been to two AFC title games, he has been at the helm for huge playoff upsets, he has outcoached other great coaches, and he'll be successful wherever else he goes.
Show me the coach who has done more with less than Rex Ryan. And show me the coach who has been a game away from the Super Bowl twice in the past 4 years. It's not a long list. So either Rex is a great coach, or there are only 2 or 3 coaches worth anything in the league, which I think is nonsense.
The Jets are terrible. Ryan should shoulder some of that blame, but I don't know how to pretend it's his fault Sanchez regressed and plays like a fakkit, he has no running back to rely on, the receivers are either too inexperience or plain terrible, and the pass rush is nonexistent. Despite all of this, he had the Jets winning all the games they had a good chance to win (until Monday). I think this is a 3-win team, and I think he has gotten a lot out of this pathetic roster.
He'll go somewhere else and excel. Book it.
