Dallas fires Rob Ryan

[Unforgiven]

The Rams have decided Rob Ryan won't be Defensive Coordinator.

Yeah, they're claiming it's because of scheme differences but I'm guessing they tried to make him sign something that required him to not be a loud mouth douche and he couldn't go through with it.

According to Chris Mortensen via Twitter, the Rams have decided Rob Ryan won't be Defensive Coordinator. Jeff Fisher says, "It wasn't a scheme fit."

So he's back on the street again. Well him having a job lasted all of 5 minutes. I wonder if he will go where his brother is.

The Jets need to:

-Keep Rex as HC
-Get Rob for DC
-Get Norv for OC
-Fire Sanchez
-Keep Tebow
-Get Michael Vick

Imagine how much fun that would be.

Would be loads of fun... but they'd have to keep Sanchez, too. Too bad Rob and Norv are off the market.

Too bad Rob and Norv are off the market.

Rob is unemployed.

So, I guess what he really meant was that he'd be fired in 5 minutes....

I consider this yet another offseason full of missed opportunities for the Jets.

Now if only they draft a TE in the first round.

[HeluCopter29]

Did Rob mean 5 minutes or 5 months?

[Gibbs Hog Heaven]

Awww man.

My heart goes out to St Louis Krispy Kreme's for the severe loss of new revenue they were lead to believe was coming their way.

Hail.

Saints hire Rob Ryan as DC

LINK

Saints coach Sean Payton has chosen Rob Ryan as his new defensive coordinator, hoping New Orleans can overhaul a unit that was historically bad last season.

Ryan, the brother of New York Jets coach Rex Ryan, spent the past two seasons as Dallas' defensive coordinator. He was fired after last season, when his defense ranked 19th.

''We have experience in preparing and playing against his defenses and they've always been challenging in terms of the different looks and pressures that they feature,'' Payton said when Ryan's hiring was announced Saturday, one day after he interviewed for the job. ''We've had the chance to visit with each other and talk about our visions for our team and I'm excited about moving forward as we prepare for the 2013 season.''

The Saints could be scary this season.

The Saints could be scary this season.

They have some work to do. That defense was just horrendous last season. I don't know how much switching to thye 3-4 would change anything that they do. To my knowledge, the only guy that they have who's played in the 3-4 before, was Vilma, when he played in Mangini's system in NY. It's going to be a pretty big adjustment for a team that was already one of the leagues worst defenses.

I agree. I don't think you go from a historically bad defense to "scary" in just one offseason. Ryan had a lot more talent to work with last year, yet was let go. As of right now, I see the Saints winning 10 games. That's gonna be an awfully tough division next year, imo.

I don't see the big deal. Has Ryan really had great Ds where ever he goes......ah no he hasn't. He only gets press because of his last name and because he acts like an ass. He is vastly overrated.

[Taylor 36]

I didn't make that comment solely because of Ryan, though, more talent or not in Dallas, Ryan will have a unit this season that will not only give a ****, unlike last year, but are going to be out for blood after all of their suspensions are now over. They will be on a mission, something no Dallas squad has had in over a decade. Add to it Peyton being back and on his own mission along with Brees, and that team will be scary. They will easily win their division and they will be either one or two in the NFC next year. Hopefully, we will be the one team ahead of them.
