falconfan94 Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Aw:)esome i really like the people we are interviewing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRob215 Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Say no to Ryan (Rex, at least). He was a product of the personnel. Look at Mike Nolan and Marvin Lewis, who were the Ravens D-Coordinators before him. Neither one of those guys has done much as a HC have they???

BlacksburgHokie Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Good to at least interview him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Rogers Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 good, we need a good defensive mind. I was hoping we could trade down to the eagles in exchange for mcnabb and their 1st round pick for our first round pick. what do you think?

3rd and short Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 "The Ravens have held three extensive meetings in their coaching search and began with a list of 30 candidates."and I thought Blank went overboard with his list!:w00t: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott24falcs Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Matt Rogers (1/3/2008)good, we need a good defensive mind. I was hoping we could trade down to the eagles in exchange for mcnabb and their 1st round pick for our first round pick. what do you think?NO! I wouldn't even consider that trade. Personally I think McNabb still has some good years in front of him, but he's not what we need for the long run. JMO though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoned_jc7 Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Not my first choice, but the more the merrier. Might even be able to bring him on board as a coordinator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Long© Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Sounds like good news to me. Even if we do not hire him we at least are not ignoring the opportunity to check him out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dolphins have not set up an interview with Ryan.It ticks me off how much better that newspaper is than the AJC.Why the **** can't we have some REAL sports writers like that one has.Did you see the range of articles?The non-bashing INFORMATIVE articles?I am writing a letter. TMoore and JSchultz for that Bill Ordine guy. Even trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not hard to put a big offense on the field when you've got Hall of Famers at QB and wide receiver and Pro Bowl caliber guys at other wide receiver spots and on the offensive line.No harm in interviewing him, though, and if we bring in a good GM, he could have the personnel he needs in fairly short order.Direwolf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithbrooking56 Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 I would be happy with Ryan as HC. The players loved the guy in Baltimore and he has a great coaching pedigree from his dad who is *hands down* the greatest defensive mind in the history of the NFL. Rex is pretty good himself. He loves to blitz and throw all kinds of formations at the opponent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falconfanjason Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Interview as many candidates as possible. Leave no stone unturned. We need to get it right this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirty_durty Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 my first choice would definitely be Marty Schottenheimer without a doubt. i cannot believe some of you were complaining that he can't win the big one. so what? do you know where our franchise is right now? we actually shouldn't have been thinking of ANYONE else to rebuild this team. anyway, my desparate pick would be rex. he has the most qualifications and the pedigree to be a good NFL coach. i just hope we can get cam-cam as our OC.

TheDirtyWordII Posted January 4, 2008 Author Share Posted January 4, 2008 JRob215 (1/3/2008)Say no to Ryan (Rex, at least). He was a product of the personnel. Look at Mike Nolan and Marvin Lewis, who were the Ravens D-Coordinators before him. Neither one of those guys has done much as a HC have they???In the 5 years prior to the Bengals hiring Lewis, they went 19-61. In his 5 years, they've gone 42-39. This was his 1st year under .500.He has no front office and his personnel department has limited resources. Obviously that franchise has issues and Lewis has had difficulty with off-the-field issues with his players. But they are much better for having had Lewis than not.As for Nolan, he took over a franchise in absolute free fall and was given control over all football operations essentially. I think the job has been too big for him, but also remember that prior to this season, this team was on the rise largely because of his efforts. The regression of his QB was what hurt them drastically this year, but again - I don't think Nolan has proven himself to be a poor HC. He hasn't had a heck of alot to work with.

brits4breakfast Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Let's interview him, but I have to agree that Ryan has a lot to credit his players for. He walked into a good situation in Baltimore, considering his defensive personel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have also vastly underperformed given their level of talent.The point I was trying to make on Ryan is that he had great defensive personnel in Baltimore, and two other good defensive coaches to teach the players that were there. I just don't know if anyone can say the defense was good because of Rex Ryan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
