The more I read on Rob, the more I could see him having instant and sustainable success in New Orleans.

We already had a big mouth with attitude in NO, look were that got us. One year of lucky defense, and 3 of the same. We just need a serious DC who's more worried about defense and less worried about looking good or running his mouth.
With our offense, we just need a 10-15th ranked defense every year, nothing fancy, and we would be deep in the playoffs. Defense kills us every time.
We consistanly put 30 pts or more on the best defenses in the NFL, and that should win. Just keep teams to 24 pts the NFL average.

In that light, Ryan has been fairly average....

Living off his father name. I just don't know whats he's done latley.

No way our defense can get any worse... All we need is a mid 20's defense and we have a legitimate shot at the Superbowl.

We'll never have a superb defense with all the cap space we have tied up in the offense...

No one we bring in will turn this around in a year. We have to understand that. And we are missing many key pieces to the 3-4 (2 gap NT, elite pass rush OLB, etc.) We have no money for immediate impact FA's and will have to build this via the draft and finding hidden gem FA's.

Frankly I am prepared for a 15-30 ranked D next year but if we can get close to 15 we will be a contender.

Okay, let's use you as our pre-season prognosticator. how did you feel about Spags this time last year?

See I'm not sure what to think about Big Rob. I was mildly positive and hugely hopeful about Spags. After last year, I have a real Missouri attitude toward all of'em. When I think about it, they're all either out of work, coaching down at the college level, or doing something other than a DC gig. So I'm wondering how you were feeling about Spags last year so I can get something to base my opinion on.

Are we basing our decision on Ryan's persona or his abilities?

This defense could use a guy like Ryan and Payton has already proven he can work with a larger than life persona.

What's he learned more, is how to keep a guy like that under control (see Gregg Williams running amuck)

Ryan was decent at Cleveland, better at Oakland and did good things at Dallas until his D was decimated by injury.

I'm not saying he's the answer but he has the ability.

Rob Ryan was never put into good situations to begin with.

As we seen with Spags though, we need to find someone where the scheme fits the ability of the talent, Spags was like Oil and Water to our defense. Rob Ryan might be a little more of the sugar to the water than Oil.

	Saints proved that pigs could fly in 2009. Now its time for another miracle SuperBowl and go where no pig has gone before.
