The Jets are a playoff team as long as Fitz doesnt resort to his routine of shrinking in big games. Buffalo looked lost on defense and yes, Rex is a big problem. The Bills defense has gone from one of the best to a bottom half feeder in 18 games. Suspensions and injuries are not the issue. Their LBs and DBs are being toasted in coverage. They dont get to the QB which was ALWAYS a problem when Rex was in NY. Rex is a bottom feeder head coach that is clueless in game management. His defense in NY exceled because Revis shut down half the field not to mention the talent level there, as well as Baltimore, masked his deficiencies. Hiring his brother was an asinine move that is nothing more than nepotism to help a guy that no one wants on their staff.
Rex will be one of the first coaches fired this season and I'm not certain he'll get a shot at being an NFL DC immediately after. I certainly wouldn't hire him.
I don't think Rex will take a DC job. He definitely will probably get fired it least after the season is over though, unless his team makes a drastic turnaround. That team has regressed since he took over. It makes him look really bad.
Rex said Buffalo will be his last HC job but I don't totally buy that. I think what most likely will happen is that he'll get fired, go do TV for a few years, and after sitting out for a while teams will forget about his Buffalo run and look back more fondly on the early success he had with the Jets and he'll eventually get offered another HC position for some dormant franchise looking to shake things up.
Either that or he'll go the DC route and try and eventually turn it into another HC job.
