re: The Saints have hired Rob Ryan

Well, it's not like the food in Dallas is any healthier.

it is not an opinion. watch some football. seriously.

The people judging the guy on his weight and sideline disposition are coming off as really stupid.

Talk about his past as a coordinator. Discuss his antics on the sideline and in the media. But his weight? Like that matters.

suggesting that he won't be a good coach because he's fat? Please

Yep. Didn't see that criticism of Crennel. He's a big fella also.

2. The fact that those criticisms are invalid doesn't make other criticisms invalid.

I think we can all agree with that. It's the ones who are saying because he's fat he lacks discipline and thus so will the D. Makes me and

I don't get it. I think it's the OT's influence. Not much of substance over there.

Whenever there's a big move, ST gets flooded with non-regulars who come to troll and act out their schtick on here. Once they discover it doesn't work here, they tend to leave.

I know there's not a link between weight and coaching ability. Y'all know I know football better than that (Some of you do, anyhow).

I just don't like him and on top of that I find his appearance revolting. I know it will be different with SP at the helm... at least I HOPE it will - but the lack of discipline that Rex and Rob show in the media has always seemed to trickle down into the product on and off the field. Evidenced by Dallas unable to do much with the talent they have on D as well as the high incidence of Cowboy players getting into shite off the field. I correlate that lack of discipline with Rob Ryan looking like a disgusting gelatinous blob. Sorry.

Jeez, I'm trying to get a legitimate discussion about Ryan's on-field performance going...and the girl token is legitimizing the fat complaint.

Soon she'll regale us with tales about how she hooks up with chicks and dudes, and we can make this full OT

Ryan's Browns/Cowboy defenses have ranked #17, #18 and #19 the past 3 years. There's a stat.

So about middle of the pack

Tell me, where did the Saints defense rank last year?

I think what most dislike is the appearance and personality of the guy. There's a ton of people who think Belichick is an a-hole to deal with as well. I've worked for and with plenty of pricks that were actually great at their job. I'll take them over the more likable incompetents I have dealt with.

If we can go from 32nd to 17-19th this year we'll be talking about how Brees will fare in the New Jersey blizzard Super Bowl next year.

This. And for any of you to not see this have no clue. This dude is a side show circus and players DO NOT RESPECT HIM. Same shite with his stupid fricking brother. Just look at how the jets imploded and tell me any different. Locker room disfunction, players publicly calling out team/coaches etc... Rex lost that lockeroom as a HEAD COACH. I fricking HATE the Ryans as do most of the NFL.

I'm not saying Sean won't keep his arse in check, but from a team perspective and what Payton has built here, Rob Ryan doesn't fit. I trust Payton but I really question this one. Only time will tell. Hopefully his scheme and defense will flourish, because I hate to see what happens if it doesn't and we have some serious adversity to deal with.
