Iraq Vet Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 I am not a mind reader but, I think it is over. Watching Rex... I think he has been told he will not be kept on. He was asked to maintain a good face for the good of the team. Or he was probably given the option to play out the year or leave now. He is a betting man, he is betting on himself with a small win streak. Rex being Rex probably agreed. He is not spiteful or a nasty guy. He wants to keep up the loyalty image so he can get hired fast as a Coordinator somewhere. Thoughts.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Gotta brush up on my body language reading skills. FWIW. @SalSports I spoke to three separate sources today that I trust implicitly and all told me the same thing: No decision has been made yet on Rex Ryan.

Jauronimo Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 I was watching the sideline carefully and its true. EJ is a cancer!!! He couldn't find leadership in the dictionary let alone the locker room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BilLions Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 I have to say that I have climbed down from the height of my anger a couple weeks back. I still think this franchise should break from the past as drastically as the Sabers did, but only when they are prepared to do so thoroughly. Personally I'd like anyone over 2-3 years with the org to go and start a new era (no pun intended). However, in the world of reality staying the course and giving continuity a chance, I can see me getting behind the team next year if they are able to take a low profile, workman like, and have Rex keep his mouth shut during the off season- while they get healthy. However, to have a playoff shot, they will need Whaley to really show his worth and have his best draft and free agency to date, without hitting the injury bug (Rex's job)... OK that is a lot to ask.

Nailed it. Anything short of a full on cleaning is just prolonging the misery. OBD needs to be cleaned, a simple squirt of cologne is what I expect though and on we go.

Spot on man, if they're going to fire Rex then they better fire Whaley and remove Russ from anything thing personnel/coaching related. Otherwise you might as well just keep Rex.

RyanC883 Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 (edited) I think he knows he is done (without being told). The ONLY thing that could possibly keep him here is if the Bills squeak into the Playoffs. It would then be nearly impossible to fire him.

Bleeding Bills Blue Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 I think it'd be pretty funny if they told him he was fired, and then by some miracle we get to the playoffs. Then they give him a mandate that he's definitely coming back.... then we get blown out by like 40 wildcard weekend. Total bills move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitro Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Mike and Mike on ESPN they had Adam Schefter on. They debated the potential firing of Rex and it was panned. Golic pointed out the guy is in year two and to fire him is bad. This is what bad franchises do. The topic of who in the organization that is planting seeds in the media about the potential firing was addressed. That person is self serving. Wonder who benefits most from Rex being fired? Last that if they do go 9-7 and fire Rex it means friction behind the scenes. The opinion is that Whaley and Rex are at odds on philosophy. The drama continues on One Bills Drive.

Blokestradamus Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 His post-game speech in the locker room, it was pretty much just him, EJ, Douzable and a couple others. Either the majority of the team was behind the camera or they !@#$ed off already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave mcbride Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 My gut tells me that if the Bills end up 9-7, the Pegulas are not going to fire a coach with a winning record. Not saying that's the right course; I just don't see a firing happening if that's how it turns out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billieve420 Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 It makes no sense for the Pegula's to inform Rex ahead of time he is being fired. Regardless of rumors floating around. Now Rex may have an idea that he is going to be let go after the season but I doubt anyone has informed him of such. The time to fire Rex was after the loss to Pittsburgh. It wouldn't surprise me if the Bills ran the table and get to 9-7. We are the king of the meaningless garbage wins. I don't see how you can fire a coach with a winning record. If team loses 1 of the next 2 good chance he is out. However. if team finishes 9-7 I have a hard time believing this coaching staff is getting fired.

Golic is 100% correct. Not only is not the right thing to fire Rex (as it relates to Rex), it makes the organization and ownership look really, really bad. As I have stated elsewhere, I seriously doubt that any good HC candidate who is in demand would look at the Bills HC job favorably if the Bills gave the current guy just two years especially given the depth of injuries, suspensions, and inadequate QB play. This would be self-defeating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
