Rob Ryan Poll: Who Wants him? Who doesn't?
That is true....but in all fairness every gig is different. Archer talks about Fangio, W Philips, and the clowns DC, Mike Nolan, or Jack Del Rio......they all changed the culture in one season when they took over......but all those DCs stunk it up in their previous gigs, and got canned. Say what you want, but Fangio, who is great in Frisco, was released from his previous gig, so was Philips, or JD Rio. So really Archer never mentions that aspect of their resume.
This could be exactly the same way. maybe Ryan will have exactly the same kind of success these other DC had with their new team, from day one in Nola.....its very hard to say. But if the Saints defense performs average in their first year, the Saints will likely end up in the NFCCG, that's how good their offense is. Ryan never had that before, save the Patriots gig. And there, his LBs were great!
