How much heat is on Rex Ryan?

[ThomasTomasz]

The Jets had a disappointing season this year, missing out on the playoffs despite lofty expectations and a talented roster.

Obviously, there is a new offensive coordinator and many off-season moves are expected (Santonio Holmes, for example, may not be back) but will there be pressure on Ryan by management to make the playoffs next season? If the Jets miss out again, could we see them fire Ryan?

The day Rex Ryan gets fired I will be all :homieslol:

 

[Houston]

None.

 

[nwfisch]

Not enough.

 

[Tailback U]

I think his job is safe but if they don't show improvement this season than the fanbase is probably going to start calling for his head.

He also needs to shutup.

Ownership likes Ryan so I would assume if anything, the 2013 season is when he'll have the type of pressure that could affect his job. You know, barring a 2-14 season that is.

Honestly, for as much as people here don't like him, all the Jets need to do is look at their stadium partner to see what patience can accomplish. Giants fans wanted Coughlin out too, and he's about to coach his second Super Bowl.

Now, Tom Coughlin and Rex Ryan are about as opposite as personalities can be, but Ryan seems to be a good football mind. If he can add some actual discipline (a seemingly tough order for him, to be sure), things will be looking up.

Ryan is a good coach, but as with any coach his future hinges on the development of his QB. If Sanchez makes a jump in his play than Ryan will be safe.

I said it from the day he was hired, and this goes for his brother, if he ever gets a head coaching job - Rex Ryan is up there with Mike Dinglebary as one of the worst head coaches to get a job in the NFL. He's terrible at preparation. Rex Ryan is good at two things - motivation, and talking shit. Motivation and talking shit last about two years, before the players start to realize it's actual shit.

I think the Jets are starting to catch on.

So he got them to the AFC title game twice based purely on shit talking?

I think Sanchez has been holding the Jets back personally. Have to wonder if they wouldn't be willing to break open the piggy bank if and when Peyton becomes available for the biggest free agency bidding war of all time.

 

[Len B]

None...

He's had one bad year, and has gotten them to two AFC title games vs. much better teams.

He brings media/money/talent to the Jets. So many defensive players would love to play for the guy.

 

[Rblake]

I give him 2 more playoff-less seasons before any chance of being fired. If he'd like to forgo the trouble and would rather coordinate Indy's D this yr, I'd welcome him in.

/wish

no, he's given them the best seasons theyve had in a long time. He'll have to suck for 3 years straight to lose this job.

Tough to say he'll get more than this year, he's raised the expectations of the franchise with his inability to stfu.

This team and fan base expects to compete like the Patriots or Steelers now, perennial title threat.

 

[tigstah]

trash talk only gets you so much, being in ny, you gotta produce results. i think the j-e-t-s jets jets jets need to make it back to the afc championship game. i look sanchez as a work in progress.

 

[ralaw]

It also doesn't help the Giants are having major success.

Yeah, he was totally unprepared for that divisional game against the Patriots last year.

He's gone to the AFC Championship twice in 3 years with Mark fucking Sanchez as his qb.

well,thats at least 2 years straight LOL

they did lose some key people they had the year before if i'm not mistaken? that never helps.

The Jets fanbase was pretty livid because of how much the locker room vibe was such at a low. They felt that since he didn't have a good gauge on what was going on that he lost the team. I'd say maybe around 25% of fans wanted him gone.

You could see fans moving away from Ryan's schtick but even Ryan acknowledged he won't be throwing around guarantees and being the one that places tons of heat and pressure on the team.

You will see a different Rex in the aspect of towards the media I feel.

I for one, don't want him to change...I mean this is what got him here, it's what made him an attractive head coaching candidate, part of his nature is his bravado and his confidence.

The talent level on this team was my main issue. We have studs and good players as starters...but the backups were shit. Our offensive line backups were horrid...we picked up most of our depth from other teams waiver wire after they were cut before the regular season.

The issue with Sanchez and the offenses inability to gel was mostly due to a BIG TIME disconnect between the OC, Sanchez and this offense. It's now coming out that the verbage to this offense may have been too much. Now, only time will tell if Sanchez will become a better QB through all aspects of the game. I tend to believe bringing in a new OC should help matters. I mean Sanchez went from throwing a solid deep ball with Braylon to barely throwing one this year? Now is that because the Jets had no deep threat, or the WR corps simply wasn't able to get downfield?? or playcalling??? These are answers I hope will be answered because Sanchez is really feeling the heat from this fanbase mostly and since he's connected to Ryan, his head will be connected with how well or poorly Sanchez does.

He is, he's still young...and I believe he has the tools to become a solid QB in this league. He's made strides in the redzone...he just needs to continue to want to work...he's always trying to get better so that's a definite good thing.
