the Jets have had one of the least talented offensive teams in the league for his entire tenure. There is nothing about his ability to coach defense that has been exposed during his time with that team. Even their defense is not very talented besides their front 4. Doesn't get to pick the players, not like it was his decision to let go of Revis for a draft pick. If you don't have talent in the NFL you can't win. He came pretty close to making the superbowl 4 times with terrible QB play. 2 with the Jets and 2 as the DC of the Ravens
Trust me, he won't be on the unemployment line long.

Rexys first year, maybe two were good. Just like his brother, that's the end of the line. They start getting exposed.
While I can't blame it all on him (all personal choices), I'm also not willing to give him a free pass either. It's the NFL, he has talent on his team. He can be blamed for the lack of motivation.

No, the Jets have been very devoid of offensive talent relative to their opponents the last 5 years.
Maybe 2 huh? He beat Brady and Manning in the playoffs in a span of 7 days and held both of them under 20 pts. Then lost to a superior Steelers team on the road in the AFCCG. That consitutes a maybe?
Until the Ravens did it in 2012 that was the first team to beat Brady/Manning in the same year.

I'll repeat 4 times in 5 years he had a team competing to make the superbowl with competely awful QB/offense play. To brush that off as insignificant obviously isn't wise. There are obvious reasons why that isn't easy to do in today's game.
Also he wrote a great book on the 46 defense. 1 of the better Xs and Os football books if anyone is into that kinda stuff.....And no I'm not related to him and nor am I getting any profit on the sale of this thing, lol.

Rex has no control of the locker room, they're all a bunch of loud mouthed cannons following the example he sets
being a good head coach is a lot more than just X's and O's
he is a great DC

Yeah when your offense sucks in the NFL, it tends to be hard to win.
He is a defensive coach and has nothing to do with offense. He isn't the GM either. Belichick made the playoffs 1x with the Browns with a better QB, you think he's a bad coach too? He has a career losing record in games GOAT Brady isn't the QB.
You can't just cherry pick his successes and failures then makeup some narrative like "Oh see after 2 years he is done" There is pretty much nothing to indicate his coaching abilities regress after a few years, he just overachieved with an average team his first 2 years and expectations got too high.
How come nobody else has been able to beat Brady and Manning in the AFC in the same year? They've both been in the AFC playoffs in the same year I think 12 times now? Not exactly a small sample.
Just buy the book, 14.99, read it during a snowy day and embrace the mans defensive mind.

You're right, he's the best coach ever.
He should be immediately inducted into the hall of fame....I stand corrected.
BTW, are you getting some sort of commission on this book? Does it have a lot of pictures? Was there a ghost writer? Who read it to Rex?
Yeah of course there is a ghost writer. He is a total neanderthal. 46 is possibly the only word he could spell by himself.
The man knows defense and has the track record to prove it though. Wonder how the Ravens were able to have a good season his 4th year as DC (if the Jets didn't poach him that # extends to 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th) with his act wearing so thin.

No I never said that nor did I say he deserves "full credit" but obviously you need talent to win. That's any coach, any sport. His track record when he has talent on his D is pretty damn good. He isn't the Owner/GM, has no control over personel moves. I mean the Jets went 8-8 last year, the fact that team was able to leave the field with a victory every other week is impressive given the QB deficit they had to go into every game with.
First and foremost...
"It is about Jims and Joes, not Xs and Os"
Obviously when you got Ed Reed covering 1/3rd of the world while the Ocean covers 2/3rds or Darrelle Revis taking away the top WR every week then coaching is easier. The year Peyton got over the hump and finally won a SB, Rex D kept him out of the endzone all day. Too bad they had McNair's corpse at QB (probably a bad use of words since he is literally dead now) or they would've been favored to win the superbowl had they won that game.
I dunno, he knows the game and has shutdown great QBs and offenses in the hardest era to do so. I'm a fan of his work.
