2014 Jets: Report -- Rex & Idzik both to be let go

Smith joins an illustrious line of Jets QBs who've had their low points with women shared for all to see, succeeding Sanchez and Brett Favre, and dating all the way back to Joe Namath. A Browning Nagle sex tape seems inevitable at this point. Whatever the validity of this Ballerific lady's account, let's use this opportunity to remind all current and future Jets signal-callers to keep it in your pants.

@AdamSchefter: Jets and head coach Rex Ryan have reached agreement on a multi-year extension, according to team and league sources.

Rex is back for the foreseeable future.

“@AdamSchefter: Rex Ryan had 1 year left on deal. His agreed-to extension is for multi years. That ties Ryan to Jets for at least 3 more years, maybe more.”

3+ years?

Stitch01 · Jan 16, 2014

Think keeping him was the right move, but not sure they needed to give a long extension out.

dcmissle · Jan 16, 2014

Agree.

The whole "lame duck" thing I think is overdone. I can think of only one good reason for current practice -- if a HC goes into his last year, it probably puts you at a competitive disadvantage hiring other coaches, who want job security. I don't pay enough attention to the Jets to know how many guys they are swapping out, so I don't know how big that consideration is in their case. But Rex insisted on an extension, and most teams accept the current practice.

From Idzik's perspective, the GM is now tied to Rex. This was the fish-or-cut bait year. He probably wants Rex happy.

The off-with-his-head stuff is fun, but I would take none of the names recently thrown around, or hired, over Rex to coach this team whose owner loves the circus.

Who's better than Rex?

Let's go get a goddamned snack, dc.

CaptainLaddie · Jan 16, 2014

His 42-38 record is the 2nd best in Jets history.

Holy crap.

Really? I tend to think of it as an advantage because it releases the coach to think more in terms of the long term, like how Belichick trades down in the draft and rolls over picks to future years. I would think that uncertainty of employment would discourage a practice like that, as an example.

Who has been more entertaining?

Parcells -- he's funny, but also was a dour, bullying, mean spirited sob.

Ditka -- see Parcells.

Mora -- a one-hit wunda, as Parcells would say.

Rex' dad -- by every indication, he was just plain nuts.

You probably have to go back to Bum Phillips.

One good thing about the extension is that it will free the real Rex. I can hear him now: *I hafta be myself*

Holy crap.

Scanning Football Ref, #1 would be Bill Parcells, whose tenure was just three years. My other guess was Super Bowl winning coach Weeb Ewbank, who, however, was under .500 at 71 - 77 - 6. Overall, Jets are 373 - 439 - 8 for W, L, T.

TomRicardo · Jan 16, 2014

Bill Belichick was undefeated as the Jets coach. HoF talent right there.

gtg807y · Jan 16, 2014

His team never even trailed during his NYJ tenure. Not once.

Kellen Winslow has his own style of car jacking.

When Jets tight end Kellen Winslow Jr. was arrested for possession of synthetic marijuana outside a Target in East Hanover back in November, police were called to the scene because a woman thought she saw him masturbating in his vehicle in the parking lot, according to court documents.

Aaron Hernandez scoffs at this crime; I think it's clear which team is the finesse team after all.

Holy crap - just 20 posts/a few weeks in and we already have a new potential Jets thread title....

Jets quarterback Geno Smith was apparently escorted off a Virgin America flight at LAX today by police after what a witness called a "verbal altercation."
The photo you see above was sent to us by a reader who witnessed the incident and says the shot came "moments before" Smith was escorted out of the airport by cops. Our tipster wasn't the only person who saw it

I'd say that Winslow should be charged with.... offensive holding.

or illegal motion

Tony C · Jan 17, 2014

looked like a horse collar tackle to me....

Morgan's Magic Snowplow · Jan 17, 2014

Illegal touching is probably the most accurate.

But I'm partial to roughing the snapper.

octoberaroma · Jan 17, 2014

Illegal use of the hands, #81

koufax32 · Jan 17, 2014

I'm sorry but the answer we were looking for was "giving him the business."

Van Everyman · Jan 18, 2014

Doesn't "Looking for Boston Market" have some nice "choking the chicken" allusions?

What an unbelievable waste of a career that guy has had.

Buster Olney the Lonely · Jan 18, 2014

"in the grasp"
"Roughing the passer"
"Free release"

Sorry.

JohnnyTheBone · Jan 18, 2014

And playing with a pulling (National) Guard.

bernardsamuel · Jan 18, 2014

Continuing with the Kellen Winslow repartee:
1. Given the Vaseline, his favorite QBs were named Griese.
2. He'll get a four game suspension for violating the substance of the NFL's self abuse policy.
3. He'll be kicked out of the NFL and consigned back to the Pee-Wee (Herman) League.
4. He'd get sentenced for his crime and serve hard time, but his political pull will get him off instead.

I do understand that I'll not be allowed to root for the Patriots for the first series of offensive downs in the game tomorrow, given the Wes Welker/foot-jokes precedent.

Think of his dad, literally carried off the field from sheer exhaustion after a stellar performance in what arguably is the greatest NFL game ever played, and probably the hands down winner in terms of sheer excitement.

His mom works in my firm. Saw her last week. This ought to be fun. And awkward.

SMU_Sox · Jan 21, 2014

That's the exact mentality I want from a coach. Good for him.

"No, I don't view any free passes," Idzik said. "We hold our players to a high standard -- on the field and off the field. That's part of acting like a Jet. It's not only playing like a Jet, it's acting like a Jet. Everyone understands that."

Because the Jets are noted for their off field professionalism? Hilarious. This franchise is a circus and they either don't know it, are in denial, or are just secretly hoping no one else has noticed.

Jets cornerback Antonio Cromartie expects to be released this offseason, making him a free agent.
And if he hits the market, it appears he might be interested in signing with the Broncos or Seahawks for reasons that go beyond the fact they were just in the Super Bowl.
Cromartie said in an interview with Thisis50.com, a website launched by rapper 50 Cent, that he thinks the NFL should take marijuana off the banned substances list.
“They need to just let it go,” Cromartie said, via Brian Costello of the New York Post. “We’re just going to do it anyway. They just need to let it go. They need to go ahead and say, ‘Y’all go ahead, smoke it, do what you need to do.’ “

Hey, you know, if I was about to be in a position where I wanted to earn top dollar from a future employer, I guess I'd think twice about announcing my intention to use illegal substances, particularly if getting caught using those substances would negatively impact my employer.

But that's just me.

This guy has like 12 kids with 8 different women. He is not a smart man.

SpacemanzGerbil · Feb 5, 2014

Why does he expect to get released? He's one of the few players on that team that can play and Idzik has about a billion dollars in cap space.
