Very very few people in the football world share Rex's strong one sided defensive approach. That's probably why he was passed over on so many jobs, along with his personality.
If we are hiring a GM you tell the GM it's up to him to either keep or can Rex. Period. Anything less than that is undermining the GM right from the start.

If you bring in a new GM, you can tell him it's OK if he wants to keep Rex, but he is not required to do so. Forcing him to keep Rex is a bad idea.
