The Real Buffalo Joe Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I think DC is a good fit for Rex. He had a good defensive mind, granted he needs the right roster for his scheme. He just doesn't have what it takes to be a HC, which is something that goes beyond the X's and O's. If he can be in charge of strictly football, and not have to deal with the personnel side of things, he'll be fine. I always thought his problem in New Jersey and in Buffalo was his inability to command respect from his players as their coach/boss, and instead tried to be their friend.

BuffaloBill Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Rex has always been good at self promotion. He’s hard at work doing it again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair point, but Reid allowing 12 seconds to run off the clock on the Pats last regulation drive was even more atrocious. The Chiefs could have conceivably had the ball at the Pats 22 with 30 seconds left had he handled that situation properly. Clock management is a huge reason for Reid's playoff failure. Very little margin for error when you're playing the top teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And at this point IMHO nobody should look at him as a head coach again. I think it's fair to say he's a brilliant defensive mind, myself. Feel free to disagree, but I think it's reasonable. Taking the statement literally- totally agree with you. He has some of the most exotic concepts and schemes, maybe ever, and can insert a lot of wrinkles and adapt certain aspects of his D with different personnel (from what I've seen and heard). His downfall, though, is requiring a defense that is EXTREMELY intelligent and able to adapt pre-snap, as well as knowing when to be on the field and otherwise. So I suppose my initial response assumed Stephen A's comment to be in relation to Rex as an overseer of defense, which is iffy (although you're right that we haven'tseen him as a DC in years).
