Rob Ryan: I don’t care what people say, I know I’m a great coach

Rob Ryan: I don’t care what people say, I know I’m a great coach | ProFootballTalk
As Saints defensive coordinator Rob Ryan prepares to meet the team that fired him when the Cowboys come to town on Sunday night, much has been made bout the reasons for Ryan’s firing. But Ryan says he doesn’t care what the reasons were.

Instead, Ryan says that all that really matters is his own confidence in himself. And, in case you’ve never heard Ryan talk about himself before, his confidence in himself is high.

“Whatever people suggest, it doesn’t make a crap to me because I know I’m a great coach,” Ryan said. “So whatever it is, it is. But I said in Dallas on my way out, there are a couple better coaches than me who have been fired. Not many, but there’s a couple.”

Yes, Ryan said, “make a crap,” which may be an odd thing for an NFL coach to say to the media, but Ryan said he isn’t concerning himself with how he comes across to the media.

“I haven’t been up all night studying what I’m going to say to the media. I just want to coach football and work hard and get it right and help us win,” Ryan said.

Ryan noted that he’s been fired before and that coaches get fired all the time, so he said the Cowboys firing him hasn’t weighed on him this week.

“If I worried about every team that’s fired me, hell, I’d have a grudge every week,” Ryan said. “This is a huge game. It’s a big game for both teams.”

And it’s a big test for Ryan’s defense, which is playing well this season and backing up Ryan’s bravado.

I'm no one.
Who are you?

Oddly nobody had to tell Super Cat he was great. He just knew it.

At least no one can say he has self-esteem problems.

Legend in his own mind, I was starting to enjoy the gag order he was under

If you don't believe in yourself, no one else will.

Re: Rob Ryan: I don’t care what people say, I know I’m a great coach

This week has been more about Ryan than the Saints, and getting a win...

Look the defensive unit is much better than last year and this is why...

The older, slower, more expensive vets were injured early on, allowing the younger, faster, stronger, and HUNGRIER players to get on the field...

So the players Ryan wanted to start are gone and he's been forced to play the younger players - and media wants to give him credit; laughable...

Being around Coach Payton and his method is why he's a better coach this year...

And if he and his brother, Sexy Rexy, weren't the son of Buddy Ryan, they'd be Junior Varsity Coaches somewhere...

But, he's our coordinator, and he just better never, ever pull a Jim Mora and call off the dogs again in the fourth quarter like he did on Tom Brady...

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...
