But he gave this team a fucking identity and has taken them to back-to-back AFC championships in his first two seasons with a rookie and second year QB. I wouldn't trade him for any other coach in the NFL.

Get you some Rashard.

The Jets have become a regular presence in the AFC Championship game because they feed into his "US AGAINST THE WORLD" deal. If anything, his big fuck-up was being polite and respectful around the Steelers. His team seemed to react to Pittsburgh instead of making them react to them in the first half. They fought their asses off in the second half, but couldn't overcome the hole that first half put them in. But I love Rex. He's the sort of motivating coach that guys will run through a brick wall for. They were down 24-0 at one point and 24-3 at the half. They made it scary because he's given them a "fuck this...we WILL win!" mentality.

He's turned the Jets from a mediocre team to a big contender...mostly due to the mentality he's pushed on them. I think he stumbled by not treating Pittsburgh openly like a personal challenge. I think he'll learn by that.

Rex changed the culture and has immediately turned them into an elite team (yes, they are elite) in the NFL. I understand that you Steelers fans don't understand what it's like to root for a shitty franchise so you have no idea where I am coming from.
