Because he is an awful coach, and to make matters worse, he makes horrible personnel
judgements. He has never performed well anywhere. Eric Mangini constructed the defences
of his two AFC championship game sides. The team disintegrated once he placed his mark on
the defence, as his terrible last four years in New York attest. The Bills should be making the
playoffs this year. There is far too much skill on the team. You can only go as far as your coach
will let you, though, and Ryan’s coaching kept the Bills out of the postseason for 17 years
running. I’m unhappy because I want to see Buf become a Jets fan. (Extra)
The individuals who have to make these judgements determined that they had seen what Rex
and Rob Ryan could deliver and it was insufficient based on his track record with the Jets and
Buffalo.
If this worries you, consider English football, where a coach—the first American to hold that
position—was recently fired after 11 games due to his inability to turn Swansea City around.
Claudio Ranieri, the coach who guided Leicester City to the league title the previous year, may
not make it through a season in which his side is lingering near the bottom of the standings.
