no surprise, glad it happened.

i was surprised, tho, that the browns sent their coach packing after just one year.
there was word that the vikes let their coach go, but then minnesota said no, that they hadn't.

will schwartz remain? doubt it.
and sorry, jets fans. the owner wants to continue the punishment.

Frazier in Minny is gone. I would be shocked if Schwartz wasn't canned either. Garrett's a yes man, that's the only reason that he still has a job.

As far as Rex goes, I think you are way off base. He did a tremendous job with a team that frankly wasn't that good. He's still is the best fit for that team/organization. I think it was a wise move. Don't forget, he's still pretty much a pup as far as his Head Coaching career goes, you would think that he himself will continue to get better as a coach as well.

it just seems to me that rex is a better dc than he is a head coach. he needs to find someone who can develop the offense for him, because i don't think he can do it. i don't care for his style either. talk is cheap, and he's a talker instead of a doer.

He has the worst skill position players in the league. It is really tough to develop nothing into something. They need RB's and WR's. Smith is a work in progress and it is way too early to render a verdict on him.

He's definitely a loud mouth, it's one of those acts that you love if he's with you and hate if he's against you. I also think that he's toned it down a bit. Tough to talk trash when you're not that good. Also you lose credibility after making predictions that never come true. But the fact that they won 8 games with that cast in what was supposed to be a throw away year speaks volumes. He really did a tremendous job.

Since the 2 AFC title games, he's been dealt some lousy cards and has had some coaching growing pains moment, but it looks like he's learning (i.e. benching Geno at times this season). In my opinion he's still the best guy for that job.

Looks like he has a QB again and an offensive coordinator that seems to have a decent handle on what his offense can and can not do. Also the defense seems to be going back in the right direction.

As much as it pains me to say it, this organization that always has the knack for doing the wrong thing, made the right move here. It could be an interesting year (in a good way) for them next season.

I'll let the resident Jets fans answer from here on in.

I am not a Rex fan. The players do love him.
