Absolutely correct
Atlanta was interested in hiring a good head coach
No other teams wanted a circus clown and no other coaches were interested in the Bills
REX RYAN THREAD: Latest story: Mario Williams sounds off on Bills Defensive Scheme

The Media is licking their chops waiting to see how this plays out...

With LeSean McCoy out a few weeks, the Bills have begun internal discussions on whether to explore signing Ray Rice, sources say.

I like it when teams try to assemble the Jets roster from two years ago. It lets me know for a fact that they will not be competing for the Super Bowl. One less team to worry about.
He's building a team that surely not going to be able to contend in a year or two. How does this one man get so much power over the GMs?

I think the obvious answer is that he's a hell of a strong personality. He has a lot of charisma and people like him, personally. I don't even know what else it could be. He must be a pretty persuasive person in one way or another.
But it is mystifying, isn't it? They are treating him in Buffalo as if he had more success here than he really had.
I think that's it. He comes across strong, and that has power. Once he gets ownership's ear, he can manipulate what he wants. Not that he is some mastermind, but he has the "good guy, beer drinkin' charm" that lends him a position of safety. He says the GM didn't give him the tools to win, the owner is going to buy into it, forgetting that it was Rex all along who pushed for those guys.

I think this gets to the heart of his charisma. But his fatal flaw is arrogance about his own abilities and shortcomings. I don't think he can accurately assess his own job performance. But I do think that his charisma is genuine; he is not trying to mastermind anything, as you say, but really is just the type of personality who is able to easily exert influence over others.
I think you are right. I do think he believes himself when he says his team is the best in the league.

I loved this confidence, until it became clear that Rex would say it no matter who was on the team. Then it just became meaningless. But it is easy to see how that wins over a locker room early in his tenure. It loses its impact over time.
But, if Rex ever wins the Super Bowl, it would give his words more weight. I do think he could do it, if circumstances were right. But his disciplinary style puts a time limit on how effective he can be, or at least it did here, because IMO the lack of discipline was obvious in his last two seasons here, no matter what he says..

I don't think Rex has the ability to see the difference between a team that is very good and a team that is great. There are subtleties that a championship team has between the players and on the sidelines that make the difference. He is blinded by the individual abilities of the players, who each on their own may seem very good but don't really join to be a cohesive unit.
Adding to this is the fact that he seems to become a genuine friend to each of them, and overlooks their flaws as any one of us would do with a close friend or family member. This is evidenced by his penchant for grabbing players he has known before, regardless of the personal baggage they may have.
Remember how he would refer to the players by their little 'pet names' at the news conferences? They were all his pals...
Rex's dream is to have a team comprised of abandoned puppies, whose totality is greater than the sum of it's parts - 'The Little Engine That Could'.
Father Flannigan, indeed.
His father was a tough sob, and his brother seems to be pretty serious as well. Rex is too nice for his own good. He also has the fatal flaw of apparently being clueless and lost on the sidelines. So many games we saw him looking down and dejected as he paced back and forth, struggling to cope with what was happening on the field. No anger, no fire, just....defeat.
Ok, lemme put my armchair psychologist hat away. I don't even have a license.

Good post. This is what I saw, too.
