The lunatics dont run the assylum so this means nothing. The players loved herm too.As the media already reported, and I'll repeat it for you, the players like Rex Ryan and wish that he would remain the HC.

Your head coach needs to be Top 10 material or you have no hope of a Super Bowl.
Your quarterback does not need to be Top 10 material if his head coach has decided to win it unconventionally, be the '85 Bears and the run the '59 Packers offense.
If our head coach were trying to win it in the air, Mark Sanchez would have to go, or at least be given the proper set of tools.
Bill Belichick.

Not like it hasn't been done before by another fed-up New York owner who was tired of looking like he was a horses ass. Went and found the best head coach in the league, ripped him away from a division rival, flipped the AFC East on its ear.
I say we go tamper in New England, offer Belichick a massive salary and a piece of the team in exchange for his services, watch the Patriots fall to pieces, watch us get rebuilt in two years under a man who knows how to win.
That's the move to make. Have some balls.

How you can look at the mess Rex Ryan has made and say he deserves ANOTHER chance is ridiculous.
We know a lot about Rex, but the most damning thing against him is judgement. He thinks lousy players are great. He thinks posting a personal sortcore porn video is safe. He thinks the 2012 Jets are the most talented group he's ever coached including the '00 Ravens. Over and over again, terrible decisions, terrible coaching.
Tannenbaum hasn't just blown it this year, but the past 3 drafts were horrific.
The team that Rex inherited was more talented than the one he has today. In Year 4 you'd expect our Ray Lewis or our Terrell Suggs to have emerged. You'd expect that his grasp of the offense would have expanded. You'd expect that he'd realize he's neglected half the team for too long and it's killing us now.
No head coach should celebrate losing two Championship games. We didn't get rings or t-shirts for the accomplishment.

While he drafted Kyle Wilson what "Ground and Pound" players has Tanny drafted?
No RB's, No blocking TE's, One reach at guard - while letting the best O-line in the game deteriorate.
If the Jets actually built a Ground and Pound offense I wouldn't have an issues with Tanny, but they didn't...
CB: Drafted Wilson, traded for Cromatie, and went all in on Asomugha
G&P: Drafted Greene, McKnight, Powell, Connor, Ganaway (5 RB in 4 drafts) ... also traded for Tebow
Plenty of misses, but that doesn't mean the strategy isn't there ... and it's exactly what Rex wants.
Belichick's already the highest paid coach in the league, around 7MM/yr if I recall. I don't think Kraft would back down from a bidding war. The end result would be Belichick staying in New England and making double what he makes now.
And for the people who think Belichick sucks and it's "all Brady," try and figure out why the O-line is always mixing and matching and holding up. Try and figure out why scrubs like Julian Edelman are returning punts for touchdowns. Or why they rarely have horrible turnovers and bad special teams play. The Pats are +20 in turnover differential, the Bears with their celebrated aggressive defense, are next with +14. That's coaching. Brady accounts for a lot, but not everything.

You brought up some interesting points, so I'll take this line by line:
He DESERVES another chance based on two consecutive AFC Championships. What are you missing in this? A HC gets extensions or extra years based on achievements. Things that they, themselves achieve. Rex Ryan ACHIEVED two consecutive AFC Championships. That gives him built up credit.
I'm not denying you're right on some of this. He DOES think lousy players are great, or at least it appears that way. But I also sometimes think he couldn't be that blind. He has to know he's not telling the truth. I think he just says those things as bravado, as an attempt to take th weight of expectations off of the players. If that's the case, I think it's an admirable quality.
The soft porn thing is Rex Ryan's own personal business that you are holding against him. It is irrelevant to how good a HC he is. It has no bearing whatsoever on his future with the team. That's a lame attempt at attacking him.
Once again, he was the one who built this team into a contender for two consecutive seasons. That is built up accomplishments that need to be considered before you fire someone. I also differ with your stance on the last 3 drafts. It's so early on with the 2012 draft, you couldn't possibly be talking about that, right?
2011 yielded Muhammad Wilkerson and Kenrick Ellis. Those are two players that I think will figure large in the future of this team. I've been a critic of Wilkerson, but recently, like in the last two games, he's been great IMO. That does not constitute a horrific draft. Less than inspiring? Maybe. Horrific? No way.
2010 I'll give you that was a horrible draft. Kyle Wilson is pretty much terrible and Vlad Ducasse is a complete BUST.
2009 You cannot possibly argue with taking Mark Sanchez. He was considered to be a blue chip prospect. Not to mention, the Jets had no viable options at QB. The fact that it didn't work out still doesn't take away from it being a good risk. Also, every QB that gets drafted is a crap shoot. You never know if he'll work out. So you just have to have faith in what your scouting department is telling you.
Dustin Keller is an important player to our offense. When Keller gets involved in the offense, the NYJ normally win.
So once again, saying Tanny's last 3 drafts were horrific si going overboard. In need of improvement? Of Course. But it isn't like we don't have any players left from those drafts.
Some of what you are saying may be true, but it also may not be. It's not like this is a very clear cut case of poor performance by the New York Jets. If that were the case, I'd be on the fire Rex Ryan bandwagon. But it isn't the case, so I'm not.
And no one is celebrating losing two championship games. But it is farther than any HC in the history of the organization has done for us in a very short amount of time. It is at the very least deserving of Rex getting more opportunities to finish what he started.
When you achieve things like what Rex Ryan has achieved, it isn't as simple as one screw up and you are fired. After his success, it becomes a much more delicate matter.
Woody knows this. So do the players. Quitting on Rex too early could turn out to be a very dumb decision.
