CodeMonkey Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Wonder if Gruden hires Rex? Nah, TV for sexy Rexy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buftex Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 (edited) Sadly I agree. I loved the Rex hire but somehow he cannot coach defense anymore. After a few years on TV though he'll be thought of like Gruden and every year he'll be mentioned for HC jobs. I have to say, I always thought was kind of a buffoon when he was in NY, and I hated the hire...but I got swept away in all the hype (see my avatar!)...I came to appreciate what having a coach with an animated personality can mean (we haven't really had one of those since Wade), but it just didn't translate into him being a good coach for players. I like the guy a lot more than I ever thought I would, and I felt kind of bad for him the way it all went down...but I know it was the right decision for the Bills. Any serious NFL people (and I think Jay Gruden is one of them) couldn't have possibly watched the Bills these last two years, and come away with the impression that they were well coached, especially on defense.

Augie Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Wonder if Gruden hires Rex? Rex and 30-40 of his best friends? It takes a village to suck that badly. (OK, maybe I'm still angry....) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty McFly Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 I think Rex goes to TV for 2-3 years and either becomes a huge hit and outgrows the need to go back to the NFL or has a renaissance as a premier DC in the league for a few years. Pretty much this. Once Rex gets a large dose of that TV $ and all the perks he will not go back to coaching. TV is good money. Not as good as coaching but for the amount of work when those two are compared, TV wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabattBlue Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Could be, but I'd guess he's done for good. He's got what? $15 million in free money coming from Pegula to help get him through some hard times over the next few years (LOL) and he's going to be working TV. Once you taste that gig you don't go back to coaching, especially when no one wants you! I think Rex is done as a coach. ^^^ This. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
