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. 😅
