Title: Will Rex Ryan become the Jets Saban? Post by: Frimp on December 30, 2011, 09:04:52 am Especially if the Phins beat them Sunday, and torpedo the Jets season. With all the crap Rex has pulled this season, will the team keep him? And if they don't, do you think Rex will become to the Jets fans what Nick Saban is for us? One of the most if not THE most hated man in the team's history?
Title: Re: Will Rex Ryan become the Jets Saban? Post by: Cathal on December 30, 2011, 09:17:31 am Why would he become Saban? Rex got them to two straight AFC Championship games. He may talk a lot, but their team usually pulls it out, except this year.
Title: Re: Will Rex Ryan become the Jets Saban? Post by: Frimp on December 30, 2011, 09:21:51 am I know that if the Jets history was the Dolphins with Rex as the coach, after this season, many here would be calling for his 'walking papers'
Truthfully, this season, he has really stepped in it. Title: Re: Will Rex Ryan become the Jets Saban? Post by: Brian Fein on December 30, 2011, 09:26:53 am I heard on NFL radio - the Jets fans are sick of him running his mouth and then not backing it up. The Giants game is tha latest example.
I have also heard that this Sunday might be Sanchez's last game with the Jets. Title: Re: Will Rex Ryan become the Jets Saban? Post by: CF DolFan on December 30, 2011, 09:34:31 am I don't see Rex going anywhere this year. IMHO he fits right into the Jets image of a coach and will get a couple of more years. At least one more I'd think.
Title: Re: Will Rex Ryan become the Jets Saban? Post by: Dave Gray on December 30, 2011, 11:36:31 am He missed the playoffs. Big deal. He's got 2 AFC Championship appearances in 3 years with an average team. He's not going anywhere.
Title: Re: Will Rex Ryan become the Jets Saban? Post by: EKnight on December 30, 2011, 12:08:48 pm When were the Jets eliminated from playoff contention? Did I miss something? They could still get in, albeit unlikely, I grant you, but they have a good a shot at finishing 9-7. 9-7 is exactly where they finished two years ago when they made it to the AFC title game. It's not like Ryan has had some stellar regular season career. He had a slightly above average year 2 out of 3 years there, and last year, they played against a .500 schedule. I would hope a previous playoff team would post an improvement against a weak schedule. This year their strength of schedule was the third hardest coming into the season, so it's not exactly like missing the playoff with the same record that got them in two years ago is a reason to fire him. Some people are never satisfied. -EK

Rex has at least 2 more years. Tanenbaum better hope the Jets win next year and make the playoffs or he is screwed! Title: Re: Will Rex Ryan become the Jets Saban? Post by: fyo on December 30, 2011, 06:28:52 pm I have also heard that this Sunday might be Sanchez's last game with the Jets. Why? Sure, he hasn't demonstrated that he can play at a very high level *consistently*, but unless there's a better player available, there's no reason to ditch Sanchez. All this speculation is almost certainly due to the roster bonus that Sanchez is set to collect in March ($2.75M), but even taking that into consideration, Sanchez is entering the "cheap" part of his contract. His total compensation next year (including the mentioned roster bonus) is just around the $11M mark. That's a nice chunk, but not unreasonable for a starting quarterback and substantially less than the $14M+ figure for this season. 2013 will be even cheaper with the total compensation dropping to about half of 2012 (so about $5.5M). Again, unless you have a BETTER quarterback available, there's just no reason to shove Sanchez. Title: Re: Will Rex Ryan become the Jets Saban? Post by: Frimp on December 31, 2011, 09:40:53 am I personally hope they keep Sanchez because I don't want Ireland bringing him here.
Title: Re: Will Rex Ryan become the Jets Saban? Post by: BigDaddyFin on December 31, 2011, 09:55:09 am He's no different from his father. Big mouth, Top 5 defense, underachieving offense, gets in the playoffs, that's about it.
Title: Re: Will Rex Ryan become the Jets Saban? Post by: MikeO on December 31, 2011, 10:32:45 am He's no different from his father. Big mouth, Top 5 defense, underachieving offense, gets in the playoffs, that's about it. They aren't even a top 5 defense this year. They are 7th or 8th in "total defense" as of last week. And in points they are terrible, the Fins defense has given up 50 less points this year than the Jets defense. Jets have given up 344 the Fins only 296. The Jets defense hasn't been great since Rex's first year in all honesty. Been mostly hype since. Title: Re: Will Rex Ryan become the Jets Saban?

Post by: MikeO on January 01, 2012, 09:35:02 am on a side note Penn St called Saban a week or two back and offered him a boatload of money to take their job and fix their program, he said no to them.
Title: Re: Will Rex Ryan become the Jets Saban? Post by: Frimp on January 02, 2012, 12:15:39 pm I cant say I blame Saban there. I wouldnt want to be in that media circus.

I wouldnt want to be in that media circus. that program is a train wreck right now Title: Re: Will Rex Ryan become the Jets Saban? Post by: MikeO on January 02, 2012, 12:25:02 pm When Rex Ryan met with the players this morning he began crying!
ha ha ha, I'm loving 2012 already! Title: Re: Will Rex Ryan become the Jets Saban? Post by: Frimp on January 02, 2012, 12:37:55 pm There was a press conference where Holmes and another player melted down. I'm hoping to see it at some point.

I'm hoping to see it at some point. That was yesterday. Holmes melted down big-time. Walked off the podium. Revis and Scott refused to talk to the media today. And Scot flipped off the a reporter/photographer. Title: Re: Will Rex Ryan become the Jets Saban? Post by: Frimp on January 02, 2012, 12:50:35 pm Got a link? lol I REALLY want to see that
Title: Re: Will Rex Ryan become the Jets Saban? Post by: MikeO on January 02, 2012, 12:51:11 pm Got a link? lol I REALLY want to see that I saw it live on TV, I' sure its somewhere. Check the SNY website or youtube, I am sure its out there Title: Re: Will Rex Ryan become the Jets Saban? Post by: MaineDolFan on January 03, 2012, 11:18:37 am Had Saban brought Miami to two AFC title games I would have loved the man. You've got to be kidding me with this talk. Right?
Title: Re: Will Rex Ryan become the Jets Saban? Post by: Frimp on January 03, 2012, 11:34:31 am I posted this after seeing Jets fans on facebook and forums calling for him to be fired...even before the Phins game, and especially after the game, so no I wasnt kidding.
