Rex Ryan Wants To Return To The Jets (And He’s Probably The Only One That Wants To Be There)

Past failure? Go look up what he accomplished. I believe he went to 2 afc championship games in a row? Not a failure imo.

Yea not even remotely close to a failure. He had them relevant and a legit contender. Not many Jet coaches have had his success

He’s got more playoff wins than any coach
in Jets history

Even though the record doesn’t say this, I can guarantee you if you asked Brady what defense he didn’t want to face the Jets when Ryan was the coach would be at least near the top of the list. His QBR was 20 points lower against Ryan’s defenses.

💯. And two consecutive AFCCG’s to boot. Anyone calling him a failure is in la la land.

Or they’re a very young person who just started watching football, and doesn’t realize just how good Ryan was for that franchise.

You all are right…”Failure” was too harsh and honestly didn’t accurately convey what I was trying to say.

Perhaps “Past flame-out” was the better phrase for me to use there…someone you once had and eventually realized or came to the conclusion that he was not the right guy.

I’ll also agree that the Jets were more fun to watch back then and were not as dreadful to see on the Primetime schedule every other week when he was there compared to now and just about any other time period outside of the fairly brief Parcells years.

Had no idea we had so many Rex Ryan Truthers here on SR though. Fascinating. 😅
