After Victory over Falcons, Saints Defensive Coordinator Rob Ryan Rolls into Uptown Bar and Buys a Round for Everyone

According to the Nola Defender Blog, Saints defensive coordinator Rob Ryan celebrated his defensive performance and opening week victory over the Atlanta Falcons (AKA Dirty Birds) by rolling into Ms. Mae’s bar and buying a round of drinks for the entire bar.

Quote:

Once he got out of the Dome, the defensive coordinator wanted to let WhoDat Nation share in his postgame jubilation. Soon after the game ended Sunday, the Dude-apparent strode into legendary Uptown dive Ms. Mae's(4336 Magazine St.), and laid down enough cash for more than a few fists of post-game drinks.

“When he walked in the whole bar clapped,” said Ms. Mae’s bartender Jason Matherne.

While most of the team presumably partied downtown, Ryan made quite the splash at the 24-hour neighborhood bar, slapping down a Benjamin before heading out.

“He put down 100 bucks and was like buy everybody a round and keep the change," Matherne said.

The Saints hired Rob Ryan to pick up the pieces from a disastrous defensive season for the Black and Gold in 2012 where it finished as arguably the worst defense in NFL history. Coach Spagnoluo was fired by returning Coach Sean Payton after his Boutygate hiatus.

Although many fans had doubts about the former Dallas Cowboy defensive coordinator, Ryan pulled together a mentally battered defense employed mixed defensive schemes against the Falcons which ultimately led to a Saints victory. Ryan's coaching performance on Sunday has left an impression with fans that 'Rob is definitely no Rex'.

I’m actually starting to like this guy more and more, and I’m sure the most colorful City of New Orleans feels the same. Sounds like Rob Ryan may find his home in New Orleans – but let’s just hope this defense keeps up the good work.
