The Fate of Rex Ryan

Why is Rex Ryan still coaching the Jets after failing to bring them to the play-offs four years in a row? Many people as well as myself believe Rex should hit the road, not only cause he's proved to be a poor head coach in the NFL but he didn't even get respectfully hired by the owner for being a good coach, instead he inherited it from his father! Don't get me wrong, Rex has definitely had his strong points in his seasons, but in turn they are never good enough to win them enough games to make the first round. Sure there are a lot of factors that go into the a teams abilities, so its easy to blame it on the defense, or the right tackle who can never make a block, but realistically it all starts at the cornerstone of the franchise, the head Coach.

Some people may argue that "oh Rex is an elite coach, he's the best.... J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS!" but obviously that's either their pride, or their stupidity coming through. So where's the evidence of Rex Ryan being one of the worst coaches in the league? Well why don't we open up with the 2014-2015 season. The jets, as of now, are 1-4, only posting a win against the Oakland Raiders, which is no victory in my opinion, but a handout. Not only that but the team only averages 15.8 points a game, this being the third worst in the league! it comes to a certain point where you can no longer blame the players, but rather the poor coaching, and let me tell you, it has hit that point. They may not have the most talented quarterbacks, Geno Smith turned out to be a dud and Michael Vick is just getting old. They have all the chances to win as well, but there offence fails to produce. Time for a quarterback change? I would so say so, and maybe a new head coach as well.

While there are several things that show just how amateur the Jets are, there's plenty more of these statistics that prove how it may be time for a personnel change. Statistically they are 27th in the league (out of 32 teams), only have a total of 79 points in 5 games(Averaging 15.8 points a game, you cant expect to win with that) but the passing yards are the crowning jewel. In the 2014-2015 season, the Jets have managed to place themselves at the worst passing team in the league, posting only 184 yards through the air per game. Now if you want to take away from the bad, which is pretty tough cause there is tons of it, their run game is very strong, in fact it is 6th in the league, but you cant win a game strictly by running (unless you're Walter Payton that is). Those are only major statistics, getting minor will really being out the worst in New York,

That's only this season alone, and I can go on for pages of statistics proving just how bad the New York Jets coaching is, but ill leave you with one more statistic, although he has more wins then losses, the Jets have not seen the play-offs since 2010. Maybe its time for a change? A permanent "Rex Ryan removal" kind of change.
