It just never felt right to me...Though, like you, I decided to look on the bright side...For me at least it was mainly because he was the Jets HC, and recently we had been thumping the Jets...I just identified Rex with the Jets and I could not get over that to be honest...
But Rex made it tough not to pull for him...I loved the way he embraced the history, the city, and the fans...
In the end..If Rex Ryan can't manage a top 10 caliber Defense, then why have Rex Ryan as your HC?
Just read an article about Gus Bradley and the Seattle defensive coaching tree the other day...And that's pretty much exactly what they base their defensive philosophy on...Almost word-for word...
