ESPN's Adam Schefter reported earlier Tuesday that the Saints planned to hire Ryan as their defensive coordinator. But with Grantham coming in, that's not necessarily a certainty.

Saints to interview Todd Grantham, Rob Ryan by end of week

Adam Schefter just reported on his twitter that Saints plan to hire Rob Ryan, per league sources. What do you guys think of that?

Per WWL

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the Saints plan to hire Rob Ryan as their new defensive coordinator.

However, the New Orleans Times-Picayune reports Georgia DC Todd Grantham will interview for the job on Thursday before Ryan meets with Sean Payton and company on Friday. The TP's Larry Holder insists Ryan's hiring isn't a "done deal." Schefter's report strongly suggests Ryan is the choice to replace Steve Spagnuolo, but as Ryan's flirtation with the Rams proved, it won't be official until his name is signed on the dotted line. The Saints are switching from a 4-3 defense to 3-4 scheme in 2013, and few assistants have more experience overseeing a 3-4 than Ryan.

Yeah, I just saw that Pat "the doucheball" Ysankis posted it as well. Not sure what to think about it. Hopefully Coach P and he can get on the same page. Now lets get to work.

Does he come with a muzzle or is that a dealer installed option?

He got away with that under Garrett. He would never under Payton. Do I like the hire? IDK, I was hoping for a couple other names but surely we can not get any worse.....

Ryan was nowhere near my top ten choices for DC. This news made me feel like I just sucked on a lemon.

That said, I hope he proves me wrong and does well. I was really happy when we got Spags and we see how that turned out.
