Re: Rex Ryan: "I'm a hell of a lot better football coach than I'm given credit for"
Also, might be worth mentioning that after Ray, Reed, etc left...McKinnie still re-signed here. If this locker room suddenly had the stink of Harbaugh dictating the tone and getting rid of any guys who didn't get in line, wouldn't McKinnie be opt to say "nah, I'll take my chances in SD or Miami", especially considering the way everything went down last year?

Re: Rex Ryan: "I'm a hell of a lot better football coach than I'm given credit for"
No.
Pollard wanted to stay and is still pissed as hell and refused to show up for his ring or
the White HOuse.
Said to mail ring to him.
Boldin wanted to stay and originally said he'd retire if released but changed his
mind when he got another chance to go back to the SB. My fear is that he does for
SF what he did for us and vs us this time, thus, turning the tables.
Reed wanted to stay and did you notice that Ravens asked Jacoby JOnes to present the
bikes to the NO Police Dept instead of Reed who also lives there and is the best Safety
to ever play. Were Ravens were scared of Ed opening his mouth like he's doing in
Houston now blaming Brady for his injury. Just saying, ya know.
McKinnie wanted to and did stay and reported in shape this year after testing the
market and he knows he has a chance of getting another ring here. HARBs makes the final
decisions but the moves weren't made until Caldwell became O-Coord - no small
coincidence. HARBs usually
signs off on their recommendations.Last edited by AirFlacco; 06-16-2013 at 12:56 AM.

When someone says they don't want the credit they really want the credit.

I think that Rex is a better defensive coordinator than what the Jets have produced. However, it takes more than being a great coordinator to be a great head coach.
Rex will fall into categories with guys like Norv Turner, Wade Phillips, Jack Del Rio, and many others who are great coordinators, but just didnt have the "stuff" to be an effective head coach.

Haha yup.
Also with the Pollard mess, he was just cut. Regardless of why, he was cut. Boldin was given a chance to take less in a market where his pay didn't match performance/ability. He didn't take it so he was traded. With Ed, the Ravens pretty much knew that his body was on no more legs and you now see it in Hou. McKinnie said in an interview that he wasn't healthy all year as well as not being in game shape. He mentioned coming to Harbs before the NY game IIRC saying he was ready and Harbs told him to prove it in practice, but his injury still wasn't right. Before the Cinci game, he had the practice that Harbs would sign off on. He played in that game as a gear up and the rest was history.
Players come here because of the perceived fairness that Harbs brings. Corey Graham said as much before signing with the Ravens after speaking to BA, so not every player shares that problem with Harbs. So far it looks to be only journeyman Pollard.
Even Flacco told Pollard to shut it in so many words as he was complaining after the Houston game. A couple of local reporters mention that every time someone brings up Pollard. Pollard was divisive and he was one of my top 5 in favorites on the team last year to the point I almost got his jersey.

Some coaches just can get more out of some players. Del Rio seemed to kind of be mailing it in the last couple of seasons in Jacksonville. Spending top 10 picks on major busts can really kill your franchise (Derrick Harvey and Tyson Alualu). Still, the Jags have been a mess for a while.
It'll be interesting to see how they do this year. Cleveland too.
It would be an accomplishment in and of itself for those teams to get to 500 this year.

Being considered a good coach is kind of like getting a nickname, it doesn't count if you're the only one saying it.
ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?!
