Just read Rams and Fisher came to their senses and will not hire Ryan. The Cowboys defense moved backwards under Ryan and perhaps someone actually checked into it.

I was hoping for the Ryan brothers in NYC. Oh man that would be something, I hope someday that happens!

Rob Ryan was not the problem in Dallas. trust me there are no cowgirl fans sleeping any better because he’s gone. Rob is not a bad D-coordinator, nor is he half the idiot his brother is. everyone wants to believe Romo’s the reason Dallas was an ok comeback team late in games but that defense had alot to do with that. Make no mistake Buddy Ryan was a defensive guru and his sons learned alot from him. alas just like dad they are not head coach material, but St. Louis will be a better team with him

Rob Ryan took was handed a good defense built by Wade Phillips and did absolutely NOTHING to improve it. He’s overrated and a loud mouth to boot. Good luck with that St. Louis.

questforthesixthnotthelast2013, if you want to talk about football get a clue. That “the best teams get the toughest schedule” stuff has been gone for years. Each team in the division play a balanced schedule, they play the same teams. The only “advantage” one may get is that they host a certain while one of their division rivals visits the same team.

Well seeing what the Raiders, Browns, and Cowboys defenses were under Rob Ryans watch, if I’m a Rams fan, I’d be looking to get a prescription for antidepressants.

I thought the rams problem last year was the offense not the defense. But I only watched them when they played the niners so I could be wrong.

Im sorry say what you will about Rob but Rex and Buddy are one of the best defensive minded coaches to ever coach, buddy with his 46 and Rex with his great way of using the 3-4. Rob has shown signs of being good but no great and i think that has more to do with the talent he was surrounded with. Last year was a transition year for Dallas and this year they lost half their starters and bench to injury and still were ok as a unit didnt produce as many T.O. Due to lack of players not coaching.
Plus Buddy was a funny man that was good with media his kids are just tryna copy that but they just cant do it as well.

I wonder what Fisher was thinking here (assuming they are switching to the 3-4). Long and Quinn looked awesome in the 4-3, what place do they have in a 3-4?

The “look at me Ryans” are way too interested in the celebrity side of coaching vs. the actual coaching part of it.

Jeff Fisher, did you not learn that nepotism is bad for your team from the Blake Williams-Gregg Williams debacle?

Rob Ryan will have another two seasons of a playoff drought.

Vmannj: of course I watched those games. I watch every Skins game and a few others per week. That was Ryan’s first year with Dallas. True they struggled this year. I am basing my opinion of Ryan more on his overall body of work. Plus when it comes to the Cowboys they suffer from Jerry and his poor GM skill that left the Cowboys with zero quality depth. I was nervous when Ryan was hired by them and am glad we don’t have to face him in what I assume would have been a much improved second year

I don’t understand this hire. Fisher and Ryan run different defensive schemes. The Rams defense actually wasn’t that bad this season. To me, this hire doesn’t make much sense unless Ryan plans to adjust to the scheme/personnel already in place in St. Louis.

The guy has been in the bottom half in the league defensively…..so the rams are hoping for what?? Lol. Idiots

Jeff Fischer worked for Buddy, so the 3 Rob Ryan fans out there shouldn’t get too carried away.

If it weren’t for his last name, the guy would be coaching my son’s Junior High School team.

I admit they had the niners number, butt hahahaha they got this guy now, not the guy that beat and tied us! Please tell me how they did this season with the schedule they had, and now they will have a harder schedule because they won more. The saying who has it better than us, is now meaning who has it harder than us! Niners take the show, they get the hardest schedule!

He’s going to a very young D that has the potential to be the best in the game, a stud MLB and two shut down corners. This is a D that was 14th and we had Blake f’n Williams as a DC.

It’ll be more a 46 D then a 4-3/3-4.

We’ve now got 5 ex DC on our staff.

As for the cards fans boasting about Arians. I mean really? What was he, your 5th choice? Whiz takes you to your only SB in history and he’s canned after one bad season? Worst organisation in the world, with a scumbag owner.

Whiner fans are just that. If they’re not busy killing fans or stabbing them, they’re busy being the biggest fare weather fans in the league. Well them and the aints fans.

Welcome to the Lou Rob. Listen to Coach Fisher and you’ll do just fine.

I dont see what all the fuss is about. If u know football u know Jeff Fisher runs that defense over there in St. Louis. Yeah Rob Ryan will come in and implement his syestem, but i can garuntee u Jeff Fisher will tweak it to his liking and also be a huge part of the week to week defensive gameplaning. S bwhen i look at the situation as a whole i can see this dedense being successful. So if u ask me, this is not a bad hire. If anything i think this is the perfect place for Rob Ryan.

My 49ers had a tough time with the Rams this season. Next year looks to be a lot easier.

The 49ers did have a tough time, next year they will have someone besides a kid (Blake Williams) calling Fishers defense.

@ stevemo

Yes, I do think the Ryan’s are better coaches than what people give them credit for. It’s the talking that they do that makes everyone hope they fail. Now yes, I can see how they would rub some people the wrong way. But personally, I actually like the Ryan’s. I don’t there’s anything wrong with having confidence. Even if they’re not the league’s best coaches, no one can doubt their confidence.

Hopefully Rob Ryan can make the defense Ram tough.
