Re: SOURCE - SAINTS HIRE RYAN AS DC
Saints hired Rob Ryan as their new defensive coordinator.
Ryan's name first appeared on the Saints' DC radar as a potential candidate earlier this week after he had briefly flirted with DC vacancy. Ryan faces the tall task of turning around the league's 32nd ranked defense in 2012. The Saints will transition to a 3-4 under Ryan, and will almost certainly have to revamp their front-seven personelle to fit the system change. Source: Jay Glazer on Twitter |

Let's face it.
Ryan did a good job in 2 years at Dallas despite challenges. I like hiring a coach with a lot left to prove. From players to coaches - This is Payton's M.O. |

Re: SAINTS HIRE RYAN AS DC
I hope this works out, but I'm not convinced that Ryan is the answer to fixing the Defense. I will be happy to be proven wrong though....

Well anyone think he will make us worse than last year? Lets hope he does an outstanding job. GW and Spags were highly regarded and did not work out. Maybe its the players and not the coaching.

Re: SAINTS HIRE RYAN AS DC
Really though, are we that many players away from a top 15 D? I believe 3-4 moves to the front seven could be enough. NT being the most glaring need.
On O, we need O line depth (potential starting LT) and healthy WR's. |
