Rex was coaching without a secondary in 2014. The Jets' front office decided to tank then went on a huge spending spree as soon as they fired Rex. That may have a tad to do with the Jets' improvement.

Rex and his staff bludgeoned the Bills defense this year - it's hard to deny that. But I'm not going to say he's "not that good" because of this one season. He's accomplished a lot as a defensive coach in his career (much more than Marrone as an offensive coach) and history tells us that it's pretty much impossible to maintain a dominant defense longer than a few years because of injuries and turnover. Rex's Jets finished in the Top 10 in expected points four straight seasons (after finishing 24, 29, and 11 under Mangini). That's quite an accomplishment in the modern day NFL.

Rex has a specific system and if he has the right players for that system he will thrive. If he doesn't have the right players for that system then he has trouble adjusting to their skill sets. That much is obvious.

The coaches that never get fired are those who great quarterbacks. That's the way of the NFL world. Rex had Mark Sanchez and Geno Smith for crying out loud.
