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.

I don't think you can judge Ryan's future success here based on his previous jobs. He was with the top 3 most disfunctional franchises in all of the NFL.

And as many have pointed out he was coaching a top 5 unit before injuries to his star players started multiplying.

I don't care if the guy has a mouth and ego bigger than Rosanne Barr as long as he gets the job done.

And the GW comparisons hold no water. They are 2 different coaches and two different systems. The ONLY thing they have in common is they're aggressive, vocal and cocky. I'm perfectly OK with that if it yields results.

We're converting to the 3-4 and we hired one of the best available for the job. He may not be Romeo Crennel, my personal favorite, but he's not that far removed from it either.
