Rex Ryan gets the HC job for the Ratbirds. They are going to need him to rebuild that D and make them a contender.

thats an interesting thought....I thought thats what Billick was suppsed to do with their offense.
A head coach has to be alot of things ..everything rolled into one..
One aspect is team respect... I dont know how the players respond to Ryan ..
I have read where the players have ultimate respect for Singletary ....
we'll see.

Respect at first is given out of faith but later must be earned. Ryan already has earned some respect with the players and so has a leg-up on the competition.

Didnt Singletary earn their respect when he was their linebackers coach?

Yeah, but who knows the current situation better than Ryan? The only question with him, ...is he HC material? Ryan may be another Dick Lebeau story (born to be a coordinator).

As you have said, ...the HC job is a totally different gig!

[quote name='Montana Bengal' post='616696' date='Dec 31 2007, 05:19 PM']I read somewhere that Ryan was the only one that wasn't canned, but I can't seem to find it (or confirmation anywhere).[/quote]


wow I never expected and saw this coming even rex ryan is fired :o

[i]Brian Billick never came close to duplicating the success he enjoyed early in his career as head coach of the Baltimore Ravens, and it finally cost him his job.

Billick was fired Monday, less than 24 hours after his team concluded a season of high expectations with a disappointing 5-11 record. [b]His entire staff, including defensive coordinator Rex Ryan, also was dismissed.[/b]

[/i]

[quote name='SF2' post='616703' date='Dec 31 2007, 05:44 PM']Wow. One bad season and your toast. I guess the inmates are running the show in Baltimore.[/quote]


The Ravens' owner was sampling the players to see if Billick had "lost" the locker room as part of his decision to keep or fire Billick. That actually defines letting the inmates run the show. This isn't anything new. Ray-Ray complained after 2005 that he didn't have any big d-linemen to shield him and the Ravens followed suit by drafting Ngata. Not a bad move at all, but a reactionary move that looks like it was done in response to a player's criticism. If I were Ozzie Newsome, I'd want out of town ASAP. Pretty soon the Ravens will be running out of people to blame.

And did anyone catch Bisciotti's comments about wanting to hire a HOF coach who was currently out there? Nobody should want to go to a franchise where they'll have limited control over personnel and a meddling owner.

[quote name='oldschooler' post='616719' date='Dec 31 2007, 06:13 PM']I hope they hire someone else that Marvin will own.

I would be on board the Rex Ryan bandwagon.

I also read the other day that the Raiders may fire Rob Ryan . . .[/quote]


Is he the DC there old.I Dont think they have a good D.

MY wish for new year Marvin hires Rex ryan as DC and that Donnie henderson fits as DL coach as I read some where thats the position coach he was and very good at it

Yeah I read that but I don't think thats happening.If there was a good chance for that why would he have been dismissed in first place. I know the owner said he is under consideration but He also said he will consult a lot of people outside with fresh ideas

I sure hope you're right. I can't understand the move to fire him then consider him for the job. My only reservation is he is a good DC. Why would they let him get away? I can only reason that if he doesn't take the HC job, they don't want him around when a new HC comes in.
