boyst Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 I want to say I like this guy, that he really got the raw end of the deal in Detroit and all this supporting him but being carried off the field at his request in Detroit still holds me back from saying it.

PromoTheRobot Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 If Schwartz has a beef with anyone it's St. Doug, not Rex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubes Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Hell, maybe they could ask me to be a consultant to provide a fan's perspective on some of those decisions. I wouldn't charge much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heh, I don't know. I think it was purposely silly, but somewhat classless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Weird that he didn't get another DC gig. I do think he made the right decision leaving--- would have never worked with Rex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rdand12 Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 (edited) Weird that he didn't get another DC gig. I do think he made the right decision leaving--- would have never worked with Rex. he had offers. if i recall correctly. but announced he was taking a year off from coaching. He remains one of my favorites. He also made a great impression on the players Edited May 25, 2015 by 3rdand12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 It's the perfect "green room" for Jim--stay connected, get the opportunity to study every team and wait for a 2015 opening or multiple offers for 2016... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he would have been the #1 sought after DC. There are some sh!tty defenses out there that could have used him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted May 26, 2015 Author Share Posted May 26, 2015 If I'm Schwartz, I "consult" them on the trend of having refs "explain" calls on the broadcasts - it only further illustrates the inconsistency of the officials. They do it in nba too and it's maddening for fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigK14094 Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 (edited) Of course, he can keep the two yr remainder of his bills contract....what was it $2 or $3 million per year . consulting w league office is good duty, likely fee free. He is NOT giving up any of that Bills cash to do this. Likely the Bills approved this as a "non-competitive" activity imho.

Manther Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 he had offers. if i recall correctly. but announced he was taking a year off from coaching. He remains one of my favorites. He also made a great impression on the players I think he is taking a year off because his stock his high. By coaching as a DC it can't get much higher, but, can get lower. I think it is a good business and career move for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbanach Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Hopefully he tells the Officials to.not give Hughes unsportsmanlike conduct penalties for being hyped and slapping his teammate on the helmet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach Tuesday Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 (edited) I wonder if that income counts as offset against what Terry has to pay him not to coach this year? Edited May 26, 2015 by Coach Tuesday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
