boater Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Just curious, from an intellectual point of view. I'm not suggesting it be done, nor ruling it out. Obstacles: Rex probably signed a Head Coach contract, not a more flexible personal services, or generic coach contract Egos of all involved: Rex, The Pegs, Whaley etc. would interfere Rex contract may allow him to double-dip incomes, ex: get his Bills HC pay, while appearing at NBC or whomever... and Rex may want to do this Possible enablers: Rex might like the idea. He always seemed outside his comfort zone and enjoyment level as HC. Many many fired HCs have reappeared as very successful DC or OC. He would earn HC money as a DC Rex appears to be the kind of guy who could set aside his ego and work hard to makes this work. At the end of the day, he seems like X and O's devotee. Demote Rex, Promote Lynn, Hire new OC. Have Coughlin provide consulting services. Please be easy on the replies guys. I'm asking a theoretical--because I've never seen this done. I'm not in Mom's basement with an NFL Stratego Board, Cheetohs and Red Bull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billsman623 Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 I want no more of his bull **** defense. Time to go back to 4-3, which better suits our personnel anyway. I'm done with this blowhole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarleyNY Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 That general situation of a HC taking a demotion to coordinator of the same team is incredibly rare. The only example I can think of is Fickel at tOSU stepping back after one season for Meyer - and I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if that was all planned. Then there's the question of why you'd even want it to happen. Zero chance, thankfully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machine gun kelly Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Why would you want a coach who's had two years to install his defense move from 4th, and I believe Pettine's defense was close to top 10, to now 18th and 19th. This game has past him. His defense doesn't work anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoulMan Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Then we could go for giving up 300 or 350 rushing yards /game. Yep, it,s worth a try ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
