I guess what I meant was that the 3 teams that were 9-7 with a a coach who wasn’t the GM all missed the playoffs, and the teams improved by 1, 2, or 3 games respectively. That strikes me as being pretty equal to Rex Ryan this season.

In the Jets case, the difference between 9-7 and 8-8 would be the difference between making the playoffs and not, so the distinction seems relevant there.

It is true that there are very few examples of coaches in the 6-9 win range. And in most of those, the coach probably was above the GM.
