Fadingpain Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 If you didn't hear it live, go to WGR550.com and listen to the segment from Rich Cimini (ESPN NEW YORK) commenting on the Rex Ryan hire. He was strong in his comments. I am paraphrasing here, but among his comments: Can't believe the Bills just paid $5.5 million per year for a career below .500 coach Rex Ryan is who he is: a below .500 career coach Rex Ryan has blind spot for offense The Bills offense will remain mediocre with Ryan as head coach Ryan went through three OCs at the Jets of all types, styles and schools...none worked The Bills defense will be very good, but it already was very good; that doesn't explain the Ryan hiring Remove Ryan's charm and ability to control the media and his "big name and personality" created from all the media attention he has received over the years, and you are left with a below .500 coach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 stupid is as stupid does. what was Bill Belicheat's record in Cleveland? Below .500 call me a homer but Shankchez, Gino and 2014 Vic are not better IMO than EJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Sounds bitter. He may be right, but this a whole different team and organization. Lots of variables at play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fadingpain Posted January 12, 2015 Author Share Posted January 12, 2015 To be honest, this guy Cimini comes across like a Jets fan who has some type of personal vendetta with Ryan. He was just incredibly biased and negative in his comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fadingpain Posted January 12, 2015 Author Share Posted January 12, 2015 (edited) "I'm surprised he took the job, just based on the QB situation. The Bills will not have a good offense...their offense will be nothing better than mediocre." "[Ryan] manages the game like a defensive coordinator." "He doesn't look at the big picture; they [Jets] never established an identity on offense." "The head coach establishes the identity and the Jets never had one."

Kelly the Dog Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 He said that he was saddled with terrible quarterbacks, that his team was great when they had Revis and he was vehemently against the trading of Revis, and then they let go of Cromartie which is when the team went down, and that they didn't have a great roster, but put the blame on him anyway.

WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 (edited) It's hard to take Crimini seriously. The man is a major Jets homer. At least Rodak is an unabashed Pats fan.

Doug Flutie Band Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Guys in the NY media are SUPPOSED to blast the former coach. Just like guys in the Buffalo media are SUPPOSED to say Marrone is a bum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
