Ryans results with the Browns after two years, were similar to what he has done in Dallas. But in Cleveland Ryan said he didn’t have the personnel to work with like he will have in Dallas. He just didn’t get it done.

In fact this season the Brown allowed less points per game than Dallas.

Saints need to go pick him up now. You can’t keep Spagnuolo after breaking records for futility.

Ryan was a fat slob and looked disgusting on the sideline. The exact opposite of the class that Tom Landry portrayed.

But to be fair to Ryan the defense was lucky to do as well a job as it did with the huge number of injuries.

The two things to take care of next is the offensive line and for Garrett to call better plays.

If it’s all about the injuries in 2012, how come his D sucked in 2011 also?

Hell the ’11 Eagles with an O-line coach as DC were better on D.

Here is what is going to happen. Lovie Smith will not get hired as a Coach this year but the former texan will be hired as the DC for the CowBoys.

Best thing Dallas could have done it to dump that long-haired, unshaven,fat, foul-mouthed a$$hole of a bum. There are much better coaches around for the picking.
Vince Lombardi, or Tom Landry he ain’t!! No class…no professionalism… good riddance!!!!

Rex and Rob coaching the same team? Man I bet that’d be fun.

This is the best news I heard in a long time. All of you who say that Rob Ryan is not the problem are people who do not watch EVERY PLAY like I have for most of my life.

Rob Ryan has been terrible with every team he’s been on. I do not want to here injuries either. We had all of our players when we couldn’t barely sack Jay Cutler and their crappy O-Line in Week 4.

All the media robots on here want to blame Romo. You have no clue what you are talking about. Watch out NFL if the Cowboys go to a 4-3. Serious trouble for the whole league!!

Can anyone say scapegoat?

While Ryan wasnt exactly the best D coordinator. He wasnt the problem either.

Until they get some kind of stability in Dallas they will remain 8-8.

Heck I think Singletary would be a good D coordinator. He has the kind of fire and leadership to put these players in line.

We all know that JJones is going to be there. At the very least bring in someone who demands nothing but the best out of the players.

Talent isnt the issue in Dallas. Its leadership and accountability.

Rob did a good job with the defense considering the amount of injuries this year.

I thinks the offense was more at fault for always playing from behind and their inability to score points in the first half.

It will be Garrett’s last year if the team struggles next year.

Jerry Jones is a real class act. They had a coaches meeting on Monday, than everyone went on vacation. On Tuesday he fired Ryan by telephone while on his vacation.

The bigger problem in Dallas is Romo and the offensive line. If they had a better QB they would be a great team. I’m not a Romo hater, only a realist.

Have to laugh at the Rex Ryan hate. Guy’s been a HC for all of four years, has gone to the conference championship twice, and has had one losing season, but somehow, he’s a bum.

Completely absurd.

Playoff wins through first 4 years as an NFL HC:

Rex Ryan: 4

Bill Belichick, Chuck Noll, and Tom Landry COMBINED: 2

If any of you heard Garrett’s press conference then the answer to why Ryan was fired is in it. They’re moving forward in a different direction philosophically on defense, meaning they’re most likely going to the 4-3. They probably won’t be able to keep Spencer, which means a huge hole in the 3-4. Rob Ryan isn’t a 4-3 coach, he’s a 3-4 coach. If they do get to keep Spencer then he simply puts his hand on the ground like Ware. A line of Ware, Ratliff, Hatcher and Spencer looks a lot better than a line with Coleman or Spears in it.

So Rob is the fall guy for the yearly disappointment in Dallas huh? Its Robs fault that Jery has no idea what hes doing? Its Robs fault that Garrett makes idiot calls? Its Robs fault Romo CHOKES when it counts???????? WHAT A JOKE IN DALLAS!!!!

Here is the real reason why Rob Ryan got fired:

Jerrah Jones personally picked Jason Garrett to become HC-in-waiting while Bill Parcells was still employed in Big D as the HC.

But Rob Ryan was not picked by him and got hired by Garrett AFAIK. If Jerrah would have fired Garrett, he would have indirectly admitted that he made a big mistake. But this is not going to happen with JJ.

The only recourse Cowboys fans have is to vote with their dollar bills.

The Dallas Cowboys have the worst personnel and rational in not only the NFL, but of all football. Jerry Jones, and his side kick, Jason Garrett, have decided that Rob Ryan should be fired as Defensive Coordinator as of today. His defense was #1 in many categories, before his starting MLBs were hurt, then he lost much of the rest of the defense to injury. Lee, Carter, Ratliff, Coleman, Scandrick, Church, all starters, were hurt and there were others injured throughout the season. Absolutely terrible decision!

It won’t make a difference until JJ fires his GM (himself) Duh!

Jerry Jones only hires pushovers who wont challenge him (Garrett and Phillips) and fires or pushes away the ones who do challenge him (Ryan Parcells). And then he wonders why his teams underperform. As a skins fan, most of us always thought Snyder was the worst owner ever. Then he finally woke up, hired a real GM, and has been silent ever since. With Al Davis dead and buried, I think its safe to say now that Jerry Jones is the worst owner in the NFL. Definitely the worst GM.

Poor tackling and lack of fundamentals can be put squarely on the CBA. How can you become good at these things if you can not practice them? What is it down to for the number of practices they can hit in? It’s ridiculous.

I actually like the “Ryan System”, however just like their father, teams figure it out in a year and thus lose the element of surprise.

The Cowboys defense was one of the best especially with all the injuries. I don’t understand.
