Thank you FF. I was unaware of these facts. Seems Mr. Ryan is a pretty smart guy.
....and the Saints have the #6 current ranked D and are 4-0....go figure.Rob Ryan has a long history in football. He's coached a lot of different positions and systems. He's worked with a lot of good people. He spoke with the Rams about the DC job. He agreed to take over with the 4-3 as the primary system and keep the current Rams personnel. The team would use Ryan's coverage and blitz schemes with Ryan making the defensive calls. He was happy with that. Ryan talked things over with friends and family and reached the conclusion that if his defense failed with the Rams he was unlikely to ever get another DC or HC opportunity in the NFL. His decision was that if he was going to fail he wanted it to be on his own terms with his preferred 3-4 system and him making the defensive decisions. He talked to the Rams and informed them of his decision. There were no bad feelings on either side. At least this is how Ryan portrayed it.
Not in my book, because laying an egg to me means scoring ZERO, you know cause it looks like an egg.
again as stated before we did not pass on ryan, he passed on us.
