Would you? Rex Ryan Seahawks D coordinator...

[OrFan]

No thanks. Anyone dumb enough to have a Sanchez tattoo can go somewhere else.

In my opinion both he and his brother are bad for the NFL.

Although putting Bruce in an OLB role in a 3-4 would be intriguing, we just don't have the pieces. Smith and Wright are both FA's, and I don't think either one of them fit inside or outside in a 3-4. We just signed a 4-3 DE in Bennett to pretty big money. We would then let Avril walk. Switching from a 4-3 to a 3-4 can be a pretty hefty transition, and I don't know that you want to do that during the stage we're at in our development as a franchise. I actually like Rex. I think he's gotten a bit of a raw deal with his rosters. But we've got a 63 year old head coach that is a defensive mind, and I would guess he isn't too interested in learning a new defensive philosophy at this point.

Exactamundo.

Geez you all saying yes are crazy. He's taken a team that was a playoff contender and went to the AFC championship game and has turned them into a dumpster fire, all the while running his big mouth and causing controversies. Someone earlier said it best. He's a clown.

Yeah but some coaches are just not good head coaches but great assistants. I didn't even know Rex until he became the jets HC. From what I've heard and read he was an excellent DC at Baltimore.

Not a chance.

He is the polar opposite of Carroll schematically. It just wouldn't work.

 

[Chukarhawk]

So Rex has never ever run a 4-3?

 

[m0ng0]

If Pete says yes then so do I!

 

[Seafan]

Don't have to worry about this, it will never happen.

 

[lobohawk]

It is intriguing, as Rex's defense has generally been pretty good. Especially in light of the dumpster fires of their offense.

I think he is a very good defensive coach but I don't see him co existing with and running Pete's defense. I'm sure he could pick it up I just don't think his ego would allow him to. As a head coach he made bad personel decisions and he strikes me as the opposite of the "always compete" mantra.

 

[TDOTSEAHAWK]

I don't think he is quite the fit. Besides, everyone remember - Pete is the defensive co-ordinator in all aspects except game-day play calling and other general organizational things. He has a major say in everything that happens.

He was a GREAT D-Coordinator. I wouldn't mind if he was brought in.
