How would you feel about Rex Ryan as HC?

[jcmccall]

@incarceratedbob reports that Rex Ryan is trying hard to get out of NY. There's going to be a lot of open coaching positions and its clear he'll get one of them. Buffalo will likely have an opening and it makes me wonder whether this would be a good place for him.

He'd bring a swagger and confidence that the team and city needs. He's also a fantastic defensive coach and decent at talent evaluation. I think that if Rex can get himself fired, he'd make a great head coach with Buffalo

Coaches with like the 31st and 3nd defense have won the Superbowl. No, to Rex Ryan. Yes, to a coach who can get his offense to score points and put the ball into the best players hands as much as possible.

A lot better than I would that if Chan Gailey was our HC.

[starrymessenger]

Well he makes me laugh, so sure.
He's a great DC and would love him in that capacity.
He's not ruthless enuf to be a great HC.

What are my other choices?

If we get a great offensive coordinator at the same time, and we have no other guys that want to the job, he would be at least better than Chan. So it would be an upgrade.

[TheNittanyLion]

would that be unprecedented tho? Can you demote a head coach to coordinator. Seems like there would be ego problems...

I'm not sure Chan has an ego. He usually just stands on the sidelines with a blank stare on his face. It is the same in his interviews as well. No attitude at all.

rex ryan he is a joke.

[lovethosebills]

he wouldn't be right for this job

[treid022]

emotion - check

well that's kinda different...

[kmspooner]

Rex would be an upgrade and bring press attention back to the Bills for a while. However, Rex would not come to Buffalo unless he was given total control and an open checkbook. and he's still a buffoon.

[sechristbmw]

Definitely would like Rex.

He is definitive, doesn't beat around the bush with cliches and I trust him.

I think he is a mans man.

One hesitation is he one sided and has had problems picking a viable OC (Schotenheimer, Sparano)

[TigerJ]

I wouldn't mind him as a DC, working with a better head coach than he is.

[AndrewBills]

it shouldn't be too hard to make our offense succesful, give the ball to spiller. but i don't think we should go back to the 3-4 even though we have the personel

[AWorldOfPain]

A head coach who is loyal to a below average regressing quarterback. Why does that sound familiar?

[Patrick Bateman]

Ryan Fitzpatrick vs. Mark Sanchez. Johnny Unitas and Bart Starr are rolling over in their graves lol

if you didn't turn that sucker in after the past few years, you will never turn it in.. LOL GO BILLS!!!

Seriously. What part of Rex runs a 3-4 defense do you not understand? Would I love him here? Yes x 1000, but Mario left Houstan because of the 3-4 defense and wants to be a down lineman in the 4-3. Our next coach will be running the 4-3 defense

Mario did not leave Houston because they ran a 3-4. He left because they didn't have enough cap space to keep him and didn't offer him a contract (or at least a realistic offer).
