Hmmm... So I guess Rex isn't sitting in on the GM interviews...
Very interesting...
Great. That's what the head coach of a 6-10 team who just got his GM fired should be doing, that's the message to be sent to the fans.
Taking vacation.

Yeah, we know.

Besides, in keeping with Rex logic (jokingly)
Rex feels that this is the last vacation he will get around the holidays for the next few years since next year's team will be the best ever and get him to the Super Bowl for the foreseeable future. ;)
(just keeping it light)

**ADMIN WARNING: Keep the personal crap off this board. Not relevant**
Understood on the content, not sure why it's not relevant. It goes to decision-making, probably Rex's biggest issue.

Hahahaha...what a circus.
Actually if I was the coach of a 6-10 team who is on a gag order from the owner AND doesn't know who the GM is and whether or not I have a job and know that if I was fired I amto get a 7 figure severance, yep I am DEFINiTLY going on vacation, just as I think you might in a similar situation.Quote:

Not that I have to explain myself to you but, what Rex does with his wife in his personal life on his personal time is not relevant to his coaching of the team. I don't want that stuff on my board. It's disrespectful.Quote:

He's got the right to do it, doesn't mean he should do it.
SAR I
I used to think that way too, but I don't anymore. It was the earliest sign that something wasn't right with this guy, the beginning of the circus, zany decision-making for a defensive coordinator known by millions of people and bucking for a head coaching job.Quote:

You don't think it's exhausting coming up with new ways to appear jackassian? A man needs to rejuvenate!
If Rex is running a circus the members of JI are the animals.
You have a valid point. This would have been made easier if Woody and Rex had come out Monday and said something to the effect of Disappointed, reevaluating, GM search top priority, back at ya next week.Quote:

We're hurting, he's vacationing. We're spitting blood at our Jets hoodies, he's smiling in a Titans jacket.
Again, no matter what the Jets do, it's always creating a bad impression, always humiliating the fans.
