Ummmm...How is Rob Ryan still employed?

[Tharvot]

When was Rob Ryan's defense ever in top 5?

Once with oakland and his first year with New Orleans. New Orleans was 2nd to last in total defense last year and is that same rank this year.

Since hen did football coaches results matter? It's a club. There's a reason these same guys just rotate around the league.

Makes for good tv. So does points being scored. Rob helps in both areas.

He may be a sack shit as a DC, but in NO...he simply has not had much to work with...when he took over...it was a 4-3 personnel and he's a 3-4 guy but in '13, he had two edge pass rushers and they got a lot of turnovers. That probably hid a lot of the personnel problems (namely no NT, ILBs, CB, S)...this season they decided to part ways with Galette...top pass rusher, still no legit NT, FA Browner has not helped a bad secondary much.

Do the Saints draft well? It certainly doesn't appear that they do.

Not bad...The S (Viccaro) they took fairly high has taken on the bust label by some Saints fans, but they have hit on ILBs from this draft...Anthony, Hicks @ DE, Cameron Jordan...they drafted J. Graham...they clearly have gotten more mileage on high picks on OFC over the last 4 or 5 drafts.

He sees himself as more than a football coach?

An entertainer? An icon? A brand?

He's big enough for that
