Rob Ryan as Head Coach?

[WilkinsonDonnie]

Im praying JR somehow takes a leap of faith on Rob Ryan if we dont get Cowher. I really hope we dont take Fewell, he even had a chance at coaching the Bills but they didnt want him as their HC of the future. Giants have a lot of talent and I dont think they play all that great on defense.

I don't see the problem with a 3-4 defense - and people keep saying our personnel couldn't be moved to do it. I just don't see it?

If Beason can play middle or OLB, then whats the problem playing one of the inside backers in a 3-4? Anderson plays outside anyway - so as OLB, he'd be right there anyway. I'm not a D-oriented guy, but I'm just not seeing the opposition to switching if the new coach comes in and wants it. I think we have the players that could make the adjustments.

Can someone elaborate the "WHY" - not just a "our current personnel does not fit".

Ask yourself this: how did Vilma do in the 3-4?

Exactly. Beason is the same type of linebacker with the same build. You'd be wasting his talents.

I don't think anyone on this coaching staff will be retained...just my thinking...

The new coach may want to keep Jim Skipper, but he may leave to join Fox's new staff.

We have enough shitty ex-Browns coaches on this team.

[monstercat]

I would take Rob Ryan in a heartbeat. We need a "take charge and kick ass" coach right now, and those Ryan brothers have that attitude in spades.

[rayzor]

coaching for the browns taints him. i don't want anything to do with that team. we have had too many coaches and players come from there. i don't want to be associated with them. hook me up with someone who has a winning history.

[monstercat]

You guys are ignorant if you would be willing to turn down a good coach just because he coached for the Browns. Rob Ryan has nothing to do with Jeff Davidson.

[rayzor]

it doesn't have anything to do with davidson. it has everything to do with a culture of success. i want someone that comes from that. rob ryan doesn't have that.

also...i want someone who has some success with the teams they have coached. as DC he has been with the raiders and the browns. are you calling those programs successful? i sure won't.

sorry, there isn't anything appealing about him to me. only thing he has going is his name.

The Raiders have had some pretty darn good defenses with Ryan, but they also had a meddling owner who wanted things done his way. Also, the Browns are definitely more successful than us right now, so I don't see how that factors in to the equation.

BTW, it's a good thing the Patriots didn't think like you do or they would have passed on Belichick. He couldn't win much in Cleveland either.

Rob Ryan handled the defense in Oakland for years.....some of our worst....and believe me, we've had A LOT of bad years......but Ryan's were some of the worst. I admit I am a little surprised at his "somewhat" success in Cleveland but I never EVER want him with the Raiders organization again. As a new "Panthers fan", I would hate to see him go to Carolina. Offense wins games. Defense wins championships. The HC should understand and master defense.

Rex Ryan = Great Coach

Rob Ryan = poison

just my 2 cents

Maybe he's having success in Cleveland because the owner is letting him coach the way he wants and go after the players he wants.
