Rob Ryan is going to get fired per Fox source
 

The Saints tried everything to give the defense a stronger foundation without rocking the one it was built upon.

They brought in new players, introduced a new scheme and added positions to the coaching staff. The playbook was stripped down and the bad elements were shipped out. But in the end, there was no amount of tweaking or renovating that could cover up the issue at the core of it all: Rob Ryan was not getting the job done.

So, New Orleans made the decision to let go of the defensive coordinator and will move forward in a new direction. Two sources reportedly told Fox Sports Monday that the Saints will fire Ryan after the latest defensive performance Sunday.

The move can hardly be painted as rash or reactionary. In fact, some will say the move should have been made at the end of last season. But the Saints were of the state of mind that the issues that plagued the 2014 season were more related to having the wrong personnel and a defense that was too complex for the players.

Bout damn time! Disgusting performance yesterday.

Re: Rob Ryan is going to get fired per Fox source
 

I don't think Ryan's favorite watering hole will miss him!

Re: Rob Ryan is going to get fired per Fox source
 

Yeah, when all you do is look at your play sheet and not even attempt to talk to your players. It's time to go.

Re: Rob Ryan is going to get fired per Fox source
 

The timing was right with the upcoming bye week.

Re: Rob Ryan is going to get fired per Fox source
 

Not all his fault. Other than Darren Sharper under Gregg Williams, D has been hit and miss - and he really only made a difference in 2009.

2011 D killed us in San Fran.

2012 under Spags was terrible.

I think the pattern here points to talent (or lack thereof).


All that being said - the message is lost - Rob needs to go.

Was just told Payton speaking to media at 11:15

Re: Rob Ryan is going to get fired per Fox source
 

Ok, what now. It had to be done.

Re: Rob Ryan is going to get fired per Fox source
 

Re: Rob Ryan is going to get fired per Fox source
 

Right call. Much better than doing nothing. We need a real animated DC like with Williams. That style seems to work here for some reason.

Re: Rob Ryan is going to get fired per Fox source
 

They must have herd me yesterday...
Refusing to watch another game if he wasn't fired today.

Re: Rob Ryan is going to get fired per Fox source
 

Just got the email from WWL so I'm sure Payton will address it at the Presser

Re: Rob Ryan is going to get fired per Fox source
 

To little Two years too late. The man doing the hiring and player selection bears the brunt of responsibility for the demise of the D. It's like a V8 hitting on 5 cylinders but you keep changing the tires to make it run better.

Re: Rob Ryan is going to get fired per Fox source
 

The way the defense played I believe the team need a player to stand up in a leadership role and call out the slackers,,Vacarro slacker,,Byrd not a slacker but not worth the money, either,, Anthony a rookie (hope) I don't won't eventually turning into a Vacarro,,Mauti, back on special team,,,Jo need some kind of self motivation,,I am not going to comment on DL cause they don't have any guidance,,,Breaux, I will like for him to get his eye contacts check,,,Lewis need to put some muscle growth on legs,,,Browner, probably be at best a db coach

Re: Rob Ryan is going to get fired per Fox source
 

We need Kikaka back BAD. Mauti is a special teamer for a reason. He is terrible. I knew we were in trouble these last couple games when I see Mauti, Humber and Dunbar all playing. We need some serious depth at LB.

Re: Rob Ryan is going to get fired per Fox source
 

I like Ryan, but this was a no brainer. If anything, it's over-due.

Re: Rob Ryan is going to get fired per Fox source
 

Gonna miss Rob Ryan. What are those guys with the wigs going to do now at the home games???

Re: Rob Ryan is going to get fired per Fox source
 

I saw Kikaha hustling out there on the screen & subsequent TD by the Skins however he doesn't appear to be 100% & I agree the LB department needs serious depth.

Re: Rob Ryan is going to get fired per Fox source
 

I seen that happening by the reaction or the no reaction from Payton. I told my son if a coach is taking the time to yell at you then he see something in you he like, if they're quite then chances are they don't believe in you are you haven't did anything that caught their attention

Re: Rob Ryan is going to get fired per Fox source
 

Overdue.
Is Browner emptying his locker too? That would make the pain of yesterday easier to handle.

Re: Rob Ryan is going to get fired per Fox source
 

This is a sad, sad comment. Bill Johnson, the D-Line coach, has been here since 2009. I reckon he mailed-it-in like the rest of the staff (looking at McMahon, Vitt (LB coach), McGriff (secondary coach)) during OTAs, training camp & preseason. Clowns. May be great guys, but can't develop talent or teach fundamentals...it would show on the field. Unfortunately for the young guys, it appears they are getting by simply on their physical ability & their own hard work...their coaches are doing them no favors.

Just the tip of the ice burg that's sinking the Dome. Big ole tip, but tip just the same...

Re: Rob Ryan is going to get fired per Fox source
 

BREAKING NEWS: RR has NOT been fired.

Re: Rob Ryan is going to get fired per Fox source
 

Live SP presser right now confirming this... 11:36AM

:popcorn:

Re: Rob Ryan is going to get fired per Fox source
 

Re: Rob Ryan is going to get fired per Fox source
 

heard that too, I'm not buying it. Doesn't he normally mess with the NOLA media?

Re: Rob Ryan is going to get fired per Fox source
 

Payton didn't even know it was 4th down,,he prolly didn't know Loomis fired RR, hopefully

Re: Rob Ryan is going to get fired per Fox source
 

Good grief, haven't heard one of these in a while. He normally dodge questions?

Re: Rob Ryan is going to get fired per Fox source
 

Re: Rob Ryan is going to get fired per Fox source
 

Nobody asked about that 4th down!

Re: Rob Ryan is going to get fired per Fox source
 

They haven't asked anything yet besides speculations he say won't discuss

Re: Rob Ryan is going to get fired per Fox source
 

Next question...

Re: Rob Ryan is going to get fired per Fox source
 

Wait what?? That's why Brees went on 4th?

Re: Rob Ryan is going to get fired per Fox source
 

Yep..put away the party hats an balloons.

Re: Rob Ryan is going to get fired per Fox source
 

That is a excuse I heard he proclaimed on one of the threads on here,,,not sure if it was true

Re: Rob Ryan is going to get fired per Fox source
 

They probably have to work out all the contract details before they announce anything. Both Rob Ryan termination and the subsequent promotion of Dennis Allen to DC.

Thats why he said he "hasn't heard from Loomis yet."

Re: Rob Ryan is going to get fired per Fox source
 

we all know by now that he has the NOLA media wound so tight, no way they ask a question that might actually get some information

Re: Rob Ryan is going to get fired per Fox source
 

I still think it's just a matter of time before he is fired early this week.

Re: Rob Ryan is going to get fired per Fox source
 

"hasn't heard from Loomis yet."

Translation: I didn't fire you my friend. It's all Loomis (yes man). We're good?
