Bottom line i want Taylor to pick the coaches he wants. If he likes Rex so be it.
Never liked the guy but he has been a very good DC in the past and knows the AFC North very well.
I agree, I want him to pick what he wants and thinks will bring a championship to Cincy. Sink or swim.... I just personally would love to see Rex here.

Then that's an ego issue and not whats best for the team.

He has always turned a team into a strong defense. I think he could do great things with our players. Rams defense is strong because of Wade Phillips, Rex would be our seasoned experience answer to the defense we need.

"Consider the facts: Ryan’s units have finished in the Top 6 in total defense in eight of 12 seasons as a coordinator and/or head coach. He’s finished in the Top 6 in points allowed four times. He also orchestrated two defenses that led the league in fewest yards and points allowed twice.
Translation: Rex can flat-out coach defense."
