Ryan was a damn good DC in Dallas IMO. He was made the scapegoat by a team that, let's face it, won't be accused of making the most rational decisions.

You wanted an installer - you've got one.

You wanted aggressive - you've got one.

Look all the things that the media is bagging on Ryan for is exactly what his players - his ALPHA MALE players - love and revel about him.

Perfection? No. But I do expect to see a dramatic improvement.

The Sean Payton comparison is a good a good fit for keeping Spags and not hiring Ryan.

I want an installer... As pointed out Ryan hasn't done that yet.

I want an aggressive defense, I don't particularly care for a flamboyant coach. 2012 was enough drama for me for a while.

So here is my point. On a 1-10 scale Spags is a 0 and Ryan is a 5... A 17 ranked defense. We had a 5 DC before, his name was Williams and people wanted him gone near the end of 2012. Now all of a sudden people are happy with mediocrity.

Some of the same people that wanted a top 10 defense are now ecstatic at the possibility of one ranked 16.

So we shoot for the middle at a time when we can shoot for the top. All it takes for our offense to fall from grace is a couple of key injuries and we are sucking hind tit again.

Romeo is still the choice we should have made at any expense. There is no coaches cap.
