I wouldn’t be too sure about that, big boy. The everlasting image most people have of you is freaking out on the sidelines, getting into it with opposing players and taking stupid penalties that hurt your team. Does any head coach really want to hire a defensive coordinator who is that much of a loose cannon, has that much profile, and who will throw you under the bus at the first opportunity? I wouldn’t be surprised at all to see Rob have to sit a year in the coaching penalty box until he becomes somewhat less radioactive to hire.

He’s unemployed. This is now Wednesday, more than five minutes since he was fired.

He’s a terrible DC, numbers don’t lie. I guess the trick it to just run your mouth like you’re a good coach and people will buy into the BS. His brother is doing the same, must be the Ryan way.

Cowboys should consider Mike Pettine if they don’t want to go back to 4-3 full time. I really think it does a team and the players a disservice to keep switching between base defenses every few years with different coaches.

Rob Ryan has been a d-coordinator for 9 years. The average rank for his defenses in the time that he has been a coordinator: Yards, 22nd. Points allowed, 22nd. Turnovers forced 15th.

At best, he is an average defensive coordinator.

Rob Ryan had to deal with alot of injuries i will give him that.

My Problem with him is I have never seen a defense so unorganized in the red zone. Against the Saints he had 9 guys out on the field until for some reason Drew Brees called a timeout.

He was always shuffling guys in at the last second and they never were lined up properly. It happened at least 5 times in the red zone.I have never seen it happen once to any other team.

Lack of turnovers also killed him.

Would like to see him in Chicago as the DC. It was his fathers D that got us a ring before. I can’t see anyone being successful involved in the Dallas circus. Everyone is too busy looking to see who cleans Jerry’s glasses next too see what the REAL problem is there!

Ryan is a good DC, even in Cleveland. We did beat the Saints and NE in back to back weeks. And Cleveland is not known for its Pro bowl caliber players for some time. The Defense of Cleveland was our strength at the time. The problem, like in Dallas, was the offense. Mistakes, turnovers, 3 and outs, and they kept the defense out on the field too long or bad field position. Ryan does a lot with not much talent. He will be coaching again real soon.

Yup only five minutes. That’s the time it takes to fill out an application at McDonald’s and get hired. Flipping burgers with Rex on the other side of the counter salivating all over himself.

I don’t know whats more sad. The lame fat jokes everyone seems to think are funny. Or the fact that the people posting them are probably polishing off their third Big Mac of the day.

Please, Rex, hire your brother! Can you imagine the entertainment factor? Rex and Sanchez are like the newspaper funny pages of the NFL and I love them!!

Rob needs Lap band on his fat tummy and another on his trap.
Buddy was an excellent dc but average head coach.
The reason Jerry didn’t fire Garrett was that he wants someone coaching the team that will be ok with Jerry doing all the things he does. Jimmy got in his face. Garrett, the “mouse,” won’t.
Moral……. Jerry is comfortable with losing as long as he can be Jerry.

I’m no Cowboys fan, but I can’t help but feel Jerry missed a chance at a coaching coup. He could have canned Garrett and hire Lovie Smith as the HC (4-3) and Norv Turner as the OC (awful HC, great OC).

We know money’s not an issue, so it can only be his incessant need to believe he knows what he’s doing. Even though it’s clear he doesn’t. This team/coaching staff/front office already existed for the last 20+ years and it was called the Oakland Raiders. History repeating itself.

If Jerry would remove his head from his rear end, cultivate a first-rate front office and stick to the business side of running the team, the Cowboys could be worth $2+ billion AND be a serious threat to win the ‘Ship year in and year out.

He was misquoted. The actual quote was “I’ll have another sack full of Big Macs and a box of moon pies in, like, five minutes.”

Speak for yourself dude! This Eagles fan,saw his Dad for the blowhard joke that he was! Zero playoff wins! That’s his Dad’s legacy in this town,give me a break with that”we loved his attitude”crap! The guy was a Horrible Head Coach.
___________________________________

Look I’m well aware that Buddy Ryan never won a playoff game despite having one of the greatest defenses of all time. But that doesn’t take away from the fact that the people of Philadelphia still love him. He was not a “blowhard joke”, he was an excellent defensive mind. His problem was that he had no idea how to implement an effective offensive gameplan. And you trying winning a playoff game with RICH KOTITE running your offense. Talk about a blowhard joke. It’s a miracle Buddy even got em to the playoffs with that dumbass running our offense. There’s no arguing that Buddy Ryan knew how to draft and develop defensive studs.

Hey Cowgirls fans. From a Gmen fan. The truth is your LBs are as bad as ours. slow or stupid or both. If not for Ware, you have almost no pass rush too. Don’t hang your lousy D all on Ryan, he covered your butts with blitzs to prevent your secondary from getting roasted like a stuck pig.Remember , Ryan had to work with what the Wizard of OZ(jerry ) gave him. Grow a pair, there are Dallas policewomen with bigger ones.

do you people understand that Rob Ryan coaches a 3-4 Defense? He’s not going to come to your 4-3 team.

Jets GM……..Buddy Ryan
Jets HC……..Rexy Ryan
Jets DC………Robbie Ryan
Woody might as well add a couple more clowns to the circus. If Robbie boy is as good as he thinks he is, what better fit than to work for your brother…unless not even your brother thinks you are that good but then how does one define that when rexy thinks he is the best. A dysfunctional owner deserves dysfunctional coaches who create a dysfunctional team. All in the Family.

I told you when he was hired: There will be no “D” in big “D”.
He said the exact same thing about “the five minutes” the last time he was fired.
He’s running out of suitors.
