Happy Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 I think Rex and Rob are done in the NFL, in any capacity. Rex proved that he is a hard-head who can't/won't adapt and Rob has proven that he is a buffoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Turk Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 (edited) As a HC no...as a DC prob not but maybe...his defensive system is too complex for the NFL these days with all the RPOs and quick adjustments at the line made by offenses...his D was put in bad positions too often Edited August 16, 2018 by matter2003 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloRush Posted August 16, 2018 Author Share Posted August 16, 2018 50 minutes ago, Dadonkadonk said: I still contend Ryan was fine as an in-game HC. If he had just kept Schwartz he would still be the HC now and Whaley probably is still the GM. All he had to do was add a few blitz packages to what Schwartz and the D would have been great. Whaley could have continued to focus on QB and the offense, instead of finding players to fit Ryan's defense. Zero chance he gets a HC job in the NFL. I do think a college job is possible at someplace like Kansas or Washington State. Some low tier school in a big conference looking for a spark. That never would have worked. Both men run two completely different defensive schemes. Plus they both have big egos and could never work with one another. Also how many years should the Bills give Whaley to get the QB position right? He didn’t fail at finding a QB because he was “finding players for Rex’s scheme.” He failed because he was not a good GM and he hitched his wagon to EJ Manuel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BruceVilanch Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 I could see him going to a big name D-1 program who hires him strictly for name recognition. I honestly think in a couple years he could be an effective recruiter at the college level simply because by that time 18 year olds will not know who he is. The one thing he has going for him is he is charismatic with media and from everything I have heard his guy's love playing for him. I think he could leave a big impression on a kid with his charm and pointing out that he coached the Jets to 2 AFC championship games (which will sell because the Jets will still be awful when he is doing his sales pitch). I don't think he ever gets a shot at the NFL level again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see him having a couple good recruiting classes and being talked up as a team to watch; having a subpar season; and getting let go in a foot scandal with a coed. but I think the nfl has figured out this fraud. Of course the nfl loves to recycle bad coaches so who knows. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 As a Head Coach? No. Would someone consider hiring him as a defensive coordinator / consultant? Possibly. Whether his ego would ever take that job I'm not sure. I could see a college programme liking the idea of hiring him, I bet he could recruit and he would bring profile. I think once they saw the on field product they would like it less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Popinski Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 I think he's done, he'll sit in the booth and talk all the smack he wants. That's the right place for him. Just now, Ridgewaycynic2013 said: That, and the fact the dumb s*** can't count to 11. McDermott stressed in the last game the importance of having 11 players on the field in all phases. I know Rex takes the blame for that and rightly so, but I don't think it's quite as easy as just counting to 11. 90 players, a dozen coaches and coordinators all trying to do evaluations. Now granted Rex's fax paux happened during the regular season so he should take more criticism. But it is nice to see a HC who stresses the details, like..having 11 men on the field Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 I don't see it. He inherited a defense that was great back in his early years with the Jets. Once those guys passed their prime or left for other teams it was all downhill. He flamed out as a coach and his mouth wrote too many checks his couldn't cash. I could see him being a semi-successful college coach, but his ego won't let him go that route. I also doubt he would want to put in the hours that college coaches have to because there really is no offseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Hindsight Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 I have a better chance than he does. Rex was completely unorganized and it showed up on a daily basis. He was much more concerned with the headline than the result. He was an absolute joke. When Gilmore was out with a concussion and Ajai ran for 60 yards to seal a victory on Christmas Eve, I noticed the Bills had only 10 men, From the stands.
