Reactions to Rob Ryan's firing (1 Viewer)

Yesterday I was all 'Nooooooooooooo'. Today, I've warmed up to the idea. I like Romeo's temperament, but I got some Spags vibes from him (as far as having a system that requires significant talent to work). Anyone SP chooses, I'll be happy with. I just hope we can get the most out of our players and build the best possible team given talent and salary cap constraints.

I don't think any system requires a boatload of all-pros to work but they all require some talent. No scheme ever invented would make our collection of defensive personnel from last year great or even serviceable. Jenkins doesn't understand what a 3-4 is (his words not mine) when he has watched a number of them on film and even played in one about half the time under Williams. We need change and lots of it.
 
I guess people missed my point. Players don't like change, unless they really don't like the guy.

The reason they don't like it is for two reasons. They form a bond and their job security might be in question more. No players wants to head into the offseason worrying.

So, it's nice that the players were upset he's leaving it really doesn't mean anything. Just like most of the Ryan DC threads we have going, there isn't a lot of news here.

I remember one player (Greer) saying something like he respected Spags as a person. I don't remember much of an outcry over the firing though.
 
Speaking of twitter.. here's the Shanle speaking his mind. And I asked him a question.
