Bills fire Rex and Rob Ryan

Rex is the classic example of a coach who only knows one system, and can't adapt the system to the players he has to work with. The Bills had a strong defense before he got there, but the personnel didn't fit his scheme, so he wasted their talents and alienated his star players. It's not hard to look good with Revis in his prime erasing half the field, and on the Ravens as DC he had unlimited defensive talent (Lewis, Suggs, Reed, Scott, Ngata...) that made the scheme largely irrelevant.
 
They gave Rex Ryan 2 years to turn the team around. That's asinine. That's just not a long enough time period. If you have a revolving door for hiring and firing your HC, that's a guarantee you'll never be any good.
 
This wasn't a total rebuild, though; he inherited a team that was decent and made it worse.

The crazy thing is they found a serviceable QB immediately, AND already had a top 5 defense, AND had a great running back, but somehow he wasted it all.

Wasn't Rob the fall guy for Garrett in 2012?

He was for many, myself included. And I will gladly admit I was wrong about that. Rob's sloppy disorganization has followed him at each and every stop he's made. Getting rid of him in Dallas was obviously the right decision.

Rex may be able to salvage his career as a coordinator, but my guess is that Rob is finished.
 
Anthony Lynn is likely keeping the HC job.

Parcels coaching tree is pretty impressive. Had a great eye for talent

Who did they "shut out"? Was that Tom Brady and New England? Or was it 3rd string quarterback New England?

Third string quarterback who played the game with a thumb injury and could barely throw at all, then immediately went on IR and had surgery.
