Ryan is old school. He doesn't care about appearances or fancy words. He wants to draw up plays, drink beer and coach on Sundays.Also, the Ravens weren't real happy with the way Ryan handled middle linebacker Ray Lewis and safety Ed Reed. Lewis dominated this team with his play on the field, and his personality off it. He ran the show. Reed often free-lanced and gambled. He was supposed to be more disciplined this season, but he wasn't.

etherdome Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 We fired Mora. Does that mean that the Redskins should not interview him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, if Blank and Co. were sold on him, he'd already have received an offer. He may end up here tho cause no one else has the balls to give us a try.

gazoo Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 I still can't figure out why those idiot Patriots would ever hire a loser like Belichick from Clevelend when after 5 years he had only 1 winning season Cleveland wanted absolutely nothing to do with him after Belichicks pathetic perfromance.Belichick's last year in Cleveland he lost 11 games......why would anyone hire him?The fact is, sometimes in the NFL things just aren't a good fit for a coach. Apparently, Ryan isn't a good fit up there but that does not necessarilly mean he'll be a bad one here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rex is too close to the current situation and a new HC will bring in their own coordinators, so he is just becomes the odd man out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nighteyes Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 the thing is that all owners and gms have their own look into the future that means that balt might not want a defensive guy as coach and want a offense guy as coach being since that is the biggest problem with that team the d there is still good/great but aging Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AR70 Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Rex was strongly considered in Baltimore and even still has an outside shotthere regardless of what you read.it is a compliment to him that he was even considered.tell me the last time a head coach has been fired for a poor record and an assistantfrom that same staff was promoted. it just doesnt happen. it is guilt by association.there's just too much negativity.were jackson and zimmer even considered here when petrino bolted? if the ravens had made the playoffs this year and brian billick decided to retire, rex ryanwould have been the slam dunk choice to be the coach.

pzummo Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 The reason Ryan isn't being considered in Baltimore is because they don't want a defensive minded head coach. Their offense has been holding them back for years, not their defense. Look at who they are trying so hard to get, the OC from Dallas. Why? Because they need somebody that can come in and fix their offense, they already have the personnel on defense. The Falcons did the the same thing last season with Petrino. We needed a HC that could come in here and fix our passing game because we were consistently last in passing offense. They need somebody that can come in and fix their offense with a DC that can maintain their defense. That's why Ryan is not being considered. Defense has not been their problem, so they are not looking for a defensive HC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
