New Orleans Saints To Hire Rob Ryan As DC

[PTBG]

Adam Schefter - New Orleans plans to hire former Cowboys defensive coordinator Rob Ryan as its new defensive coordinator, per league sources.

Rob Ryan has been out of work for closer to five weeks than five minutes, but he may be close to landing another job.

Ryan is a candidate to become the next defensive coordinator of the Saints, according to NFL Network’s Gil Brandt.

Saints coach Sean Payton has already said that his next coordinator will be someone who primarily runs a 3-4 defense. Other candidates who have been named include Romeo Crennel and Eric Mangini.

Ryan has been unemployed since the Cowboys fired him in early January. He was reportedly close to becoming the Rams’ defensive coordinator, but the Rams confirmed last week that Ryan will not be joining their coaching staff.

This is who the Saints wanna put there faith in?

im hoping he'll have a similar impact here(if he actually is hired)

I dream of the day there is something respectable on that side of the ball.

Great hire. Look what he did with the Browns & then the Cowboys. Saints fans should be happy. Now it's about bringing in some players that work in the system but he'll bring the best of what he has

Jay Glazer - It's done, the New Orleans Saints have hired Rob Ryan as their new defensive coordinator.

Rob Ryan has been seen as a blowhard and a loudmouth by many football fans, but to be fair, there's no evidence saying he is a sociopath like Gregg Williams. Gregg got away with far too much during his time with the Saints and it cost everyone involved. Rob Ryan, or anyone for that matter, who intends to work for the Saints will have a very short leash in exchange for working opposite the NFL's premier offense.

That leads me to another angle on Ryan. We may look at his former teams and their statistics and feel quite underwhelmed but let's look at what types of offensive leadership his defenses had to make up for.

Oakland 2004-2008 QB's: Kerry Collins ('04-'05), Aaron Brooks ('06), and JaMarcus Russell ('07-'08) Head Coaches: Norv Turner, Art Shell, Lane Kiffin, and Tom Cable

Cleveland 2009-2010 QB's: Derek Anderson ('09), Jake Delhomme and Colt McCoy ('10) Head Coach: Eric Mangini

Dallas 2011-2012 QB: Tony Romo Head Coach: Jason Garrett

You could combine all of these quarterbacks into a Voltron-style mega QB and still they couldn't come within 100 yards of Drew Brees' talent, heart, and leadership. When Tony Romo is the absolute best quarterback you've ever had opposite your defense it's not saying a lot. So clearly Ryan hasn't had a lot of backup over the years and his defenses have had to do a serious amount of compensation and load carrying.

Rob Ryan paired opposite Sean Payton and Drew Brees on offense could potentially be an intimidating combination for the rest of the NFL to prepare for. Although Ryan is a long-time 3-4 disciple (which is ideal) the 4-3 is not foreign to him from his Raider days.

The Saints' D can't be as bad as last years right?

dont mind it at all now. hopefully he will be aggressive which got the best out of this group.

if we're mediocre at best it will be an improvement.

still not getting my hopes up.
