==========================
I hope he “gets right to work” faster than he “got that 5 minute job”. Maybe Robbie boy finally got smart (unlike Rexy), he has been DC on some teams that had some of the best defensive personnel but he made them worse, now he figured it all out, if he takes the worst defensive team he can’t make it any worse so things can only go up!!

He’ll be working for a team with coaching staff that’s been to a Superbowl (together), has a GM and owner that are committed to winning, and has an elite QB with a high performance offensive unit.

Ryan’s previous stints at coaching haven’t had this combination of elements.

Since the Saints are basically building a defense from scratch, Ryan arrives in time to put his signature on it. It may be a turning point for Ryan because this may make or break him–it’s his big chance.

Mickey Loomis (GM) has proven to be a wizard when wheeling and dealing with cap issues–it’ll be tough this year. But the Sean Payton HC and Rob Ryan DC combination may prove to be attractive to some of FA’s looking for a winning place to land.

Excited to watch what they build during the offseason beginning with Free Agent acquisitions.

Look who he was with – Cleveland, Oakland and Dallas!

No one can win in those places. Belichick couldn’t win in Cleve! And Oak and Dallas have been annually destroyed by their owners. These three teams are the graveyard of the NFL!

The Ds in those places were respectable under Ryan. That says a lot. Now put him with an overall good team and things can happen.

As to the talent on D – people keep trashing that but the D was obtained to be a pressure D under Williams. Spags pulled them back and expected them to cover and get pressure with the lineman. None of the guys on D were designed to do that so the D failed. Spags didn’t use the guys to their ability, instead he tried to superimpose his scheme on people that couldn’t carry it out.

As such, Ryan makes sense – he is all about pressure and attacking the O – which is what the D talent does best.

It should be. But since the Lions were so bad for so long I guess no one noticed their Special Teams Coach during those 2-14, 3-13 and 0-16 years…

He obviously hasn’t been able to afford a haircut, shave or a bath in a long time.

As a Saint’s fan, I could care less about anyone’s weight on the staff I only care about how they do the job.

Can you imagine how great we could be if he could get our defense up to even 19 from 31?

And for those of you talking about such great defensive players on the Cowboys that he couldn’t get much out of, hate to burst your bubble, but there aren’t a whole lot of great players on the team as a whole, you are trying to relive the old glory days of Cowboys past. They haven’t been America’s team for years and its time to face the truth.

And if I recall correctly, it was the Cowboys offense that lost most of their games last year…the wrong person was fired.

I’m excited for the upcoming season….we’re back!!

As for the “fabricated” bounty system, your coach has accepted responsibility why do Aints fans keep denying it?

Ryan doesn’t have to have a great defense. Just merely average wins championships for the saints

The Saints only need a defense ranked in the top half to win another superbowl, and it’s obvious that the fans of other teams certainly fear that. Sean Payton has a reason to be fire-spitting mad, and to some degree, so does Ryan. That motivation, along with having Drew Brees leading the attack, is a deadly combination.

I know him personally. His brother Phil was one of my best friends growing up. Stan was a sports junkie even when he was little. Good pitcher in little league ranks too. His sister Angela dominated softball, and could have easily played baseball with the guys. His brother Phil died not long ago. If you’re reading this Stan, sorry for your loss. And, congratulations on the job.

Scoring defense? How many times have one of his defenses been on teams that made the playoffs?

That’s some track record they’re hiring! If his name were Rob Smith he’d still be trying to make money as a Big Lebowski lookalike.

We probably won’t know til training camp but I love Ryans attitude. He’s gonna be just as aggressive on D as payton is on offense. Can’t wait to see the dumb puzzled look on Brady and Belichicks face this year up in New England just like in 2009. Keep hating haters it just gonna be that much sweeter come February when Goodell hands that trophy over to Sean Payton

In related news it was announced today that the entire lower level seating sections of the Superdome will be removed in order to create enough room to allow Ryan to fit inside. It’s expected that seating capacity will be reduced by approximately half.
======================================
sooo…thats why Jerruh built that stadium(to fit him in) and that huge screen( to monitor him)… huh cowboy fan

His dog and pony show got very tiring and old after 2009 when it became clear that Darren Sharper made that defense what it was, not Williams. If I had a dollar for every Saints fan calling for his head BEFORE pay-for-performance-gate I could probably hire Romeo Crennel on my own.

I would love to hear him talk smack to these people on his show like he does here. but that would mean I would actually have to watch the show and talk about being smug and arrogant, I can’t watch him on any show he is on let alone his own show.
