ReutersThe longest five minutes of the offseason is finally over.
According to FOX’s Jay Glazer, Ryan has accepted the Saints defensive coordinator job.
This one was decreed “basically a done deal,” a few days ago, but the Saints went through the process of interviewing others anwyay.
Having the boisterous Ryan brother in New Orleans during Mardi Gras weekend was apparently enough to sell him on the job of remaking a defense that set a league record for yards allowed last year.

How many more teams can Rob Ryan fool into hiring him to run their D because his last name is Ryan?
LMAO…enough said
If they meet this year, I bet the Saints will make Romo look really bad.
Priceless. This is funny beyond words.
It doesn’t take insider information to make Romo look awful, he can do bad all by himself…
The Ryans can be their own worst enemies by their actions and words, but they do know defense.
They’ll regret not having hired Romeo. He’s a very good D-coordinator. His stints as an HC weren’t great in the W column but I don’t think anyone else could have done too much better with the “talent” he was given to work with. Romeo over Ryan?? Gee, what were Mickey and Sean thinking!?!
If we did not have the Ryan’s around, we would miss the comic relief from the inane empty boasts spewing from them.
Cause he did such a great job in Dallas with a few perrenial pro bowlers.
Longest 5 minutes ever.
They may as well have said “You’re good but we’re still waiting…waiting…we really need to hire some….waiting…anyone…oh God, you’re…ugh.. hired”
Gregg Williams all over again. But, the Saints feel (and I’m inclined to agree) that, if he can improve the defense to mediocre (say…19th) then they’ll be a serious contender.
“I’m not worried about the holes on this side of the ball. I can fix this defense in 5 minutes.”
Romeo doesn’t what a job as he’s guaranteed millions from KC on his contract for doing nothing! why give that up? He’ll be back, don’t think the Saints had any other takers.
Payton’s instructions to Ryan–
1. Cut the hair, you look like a bum.
2. Lose weight. You look like a fat bum.
3. No interviews. Focus on your job. Focus on a defense that statistically was one of the worst EVER last year. Every time a Ryan talks to the press, it causes trouble.
4. You’re coaching from the press box. If you indulge in your ranting, raving, and thrashing about, they’ll hardly be noticed.
Ryan explodes. Literally.
anwyay. Great job proofreading your 50-word post
lets see, rob ryan has been hired by bill belichick, norv turner, eric mangini, and now sean payton.
all these people who actually know something about football continue to believe that this guy can coach, so i’m sure he’s sweating the jibes of the pft peanut gallery.
5 minutes after next season he may be looking for another job
Damn. I wanted Romeo to get the job
Great, now Fox can still cut to him whooping it up on the sidelines while the announcers talk about what a character he is, like they did during every Dallas game this year. Adds so much to the enjoyment of the games.
From paper bags to windbag.
Really???? However the outcome anything better than giving up the most yards ever will be a significant improvement
Good job Saints!
Looks like your D will improve 8 spots as Ryan D’s (OAK/CLE/DAL) average 24th best every year!
love how pft refuses to post my comment that says not all saints fans liked Williams anyway BEFORE the pay-for-performance-gate. What? Florio doesn’t like rational Saints fans, only drama enticing site clicks? Go figure. We wanted him gone long before 2011.
Why do teams keep hiring the Ryan’s? They have never accomplished anything. Oh well, I don’t like the Saints so I’m perfectly fine with him making their defense worse.
