Reeplacement for Ryan?

[JCoz]

I agree with Benz, had the same conversation earlier this week with a friend, this team probably won't do well enough to make the playoffs, but it seems likely that we will do well enough to lose our D coordinator.

And I think Mangini is fresh out of Patriots coaches to poach.

I mean certainly its still not guaranteed everything ends the way it looks now, but for purposes of discussion lets say we finish around 8-8 and feel pretty good about it.

I would think its customary for Ryan to take his guys with him as well, so does anyone have a beat on which directions Mangini might look to fill that position?

[Hikohadon]

The list outside of the organization is infinite, but if they decide to promote from within with a guy that has been learning the Rob Ryan/Eric Mangini way from the inside, here are the possibilities:

Bryan Cox
Defensive Line Coach

Matt Eberflus
Linebackers Coach

Jerome Henderson
Defensive Backs Coach

None of which jumps out at you (although Cox would be interesting, but I doubt he's qualified at this point).

I hear Wade Phillips is available.

Marvin Lewis might be too. He ran a 3-4 in Baltimore.

[peeker643]

We might need to consider some of the nams Hiko put down as internal options are likely to end up in larger roles wherever Ryan lands too.

Don't even wanna consider all this til the year plays out.

I'm looking up watching the fireworks and JCoz is lining me up for a ball punch.

Are we even sure he WANTS to be a HC? He strikes me as the prototypical coordinator for life. I dont see Rob wanting to deal with the details of being a HC...seems to enjoy scheming on a weekly basis instead. I also don't see the "big time" personality that his twin has. JMO.

He wants a top job. He's said it before and recently as well:

Could be smoke because you're supposed to want a top job I guess, but I don't think so. Not in that family.

Unless we have one that Mangini likes for D-Coordinator and Ryan DOESN'T (which doesn't sound great to me), I would assume most of the talented ones there Ryan will take with him.

Anyone know how many of those guys came with Ryan off the Raiders staff?

[Fire Marshall Bill]

OK...

Who would want him as a HC and why?

I don't know that it is infinite, Hiko.

I doubt Mangini would go outside the coaching tree he is most affiliated with for a D Coordinator....can't be just any 3-4 guy, right?

I wonder if Rex has any promising position coaches that might be qualified...

What a ridiculous advantage having a guy like lebaugh must be....IMO the Appalachian Hilljacks are fucked when he retires. Welcome back to reality.

I'm looking up watching the fireworks and JCoz is lining me up for a ball punch.

It had to have struck you...vastly overachieving defense headed up by the twin brother of current media darling Rex Ryan, son of the legendary Buddy Ryan?

I just wanted to hold onto him for one more season, hopefully some of these teams go the retread route. There is certainly a chance he gets passed on for a year.....

[JCoz]

Have you looked as his resume? Its probably a bit more extensive than you think...

Of course it 'struck' me. It strikes me that eating and drinking like a viking will have a cost the next day or week or decade too. I just don't wanna think about it while I'm enjoying the eating and drinking.

I have a pretty solid idea that given Mangini's pimped Ryan for a HC job and this way of life has been the way for 40 years in the NFL that they have a contingency plan.

Just bustin' your stones JCoz. Let's eat, drink and be merry brother. For tomorrow we die.

[Triple-S]

color me a bit concerned

but I'm just wondering, if he did leave, this would instantly mean us reverting back to the bullshit RAC defenses of the '05-'08 seasons (IE zero pass rush?)

would we expect to see the same schemes, under say, a Bryan Cox (my personal favorite for the job, players seemed to love him like Ryan) led defense?

It really boils down to, who is more responsible for the play calling we've been seeing, Rob/Daboll/Seely or Mangini?

Oh I'm a happy camper Peek, and losing coordinators is usually a good sign. And you are probably right, was what you are saying about Mangini in those links you posted? That does make me feel like you are right on point...

[JCoz]

double post

[Fire Marshall Bill]

OK...

Who would want him as a HC and why?

Have you looked as his resume? Its probably a bit more extensive than you think...

He was DC? of a losing Oakland team that has improved tremendously since he left and the best he could to to date was DC of the perennially losing Browns?

Other than TCF speculation and the man's own desires to be a HC, has his named been mentioned for any future vacancies by anyone with a smidgeon of a rep?

Did you bother to read the bio on wiki or anything?

Oakland's D has improved so far this season, which probably has a good deal to do with the offense actually producing something, as for when he left it was 27th in total D, the year after it was 26th. Wow. Amazing improvement after getting rid of their stiff of a LBer coach.

Jesus I'm not his agent dude, read the damn bio. Its solid. The Browns Defense is clearly overachieving, and Ryan is a hot name right now, you do the math.

That's pretty much the way it goes. You want to build a case as to why he isn't a real candidate for a HCing job? Be my guest, I'd love to hear something substantial.

Nah. I just remember the Oakland thing because Cable still held the position and it was considered somewhat 'bad form' by Rob Ryan to stump for a job that had an owner.

[Fire Marshall Bill]

I'm not trying to build a case for why he isn't. I'm looking for evidence based on, at a minimum, interest or conversation of him actually being considered right now and so far no one has produced anythat would lead one to believe your speculation has any value

Esp at this point in the season

If the Jets flounder in an epic fashion, which I speculate as more highly possible than Our Ryan's departure, then I also speculate The Twin Factor will work against Rob's chances...

As for the family coaching tree, it states quite dramatically the Ryan's are best left to defense only. Buddy never won shit as a HC and for comparison's sake just look no further than Bum and his bum of a son

IMSpeculation, he's at the least 2 successful seasons away, including the balance of this one and I'm not sure why you're so defensive about someone challenging your OPINION when you haven't provided any links to any interest

I get all the reasons you started this nonsense but, "Where's the beef?"

In the meantime, I speculate Rob's worst nitemare would be the Browns winning a shoot-out and McCoy being game MVP

At this point in the season, its just speculation, try reading my original post, I state assumptions for the rest of the season. It's just conversation, dick.

Look let me make this simple. I don't need to sell you on Rob. I'm not hiring NFL coaches. There are some reasons to suggest he gets a long look this offseason. I've given them. If YOU want to give some substantial reasons why Rob Ryan is less qualified than the majority of recent NFL hires, I'm all for that. Understand?

I would prefer to keep him, so its not my job to sell him to you as a HC. This nonsense I started was about his possible replacement, not his merits as a HCing candidate.

Its a copy cat league. I agree that his brother could work against him if the Jets implode. Again, my question was assuming that he got a job, not arguing for him to get a promotion.

[daddywags]

I'm not worried about the defense as long as Mangini is here. If anything, I think Ryan's become a better DC due to his association with Mangini rather than the other way around.

[papacass]

You realize the '10 Browns could be responsible for staffing three NFL teams with head coaches in '11? If Mangini stays here, Holmgren leaves to scratch his itch on a veteran contender and Ryan gets his shot, that's two of a possible seven or eight coaching hires that could be made across the league after the season, in additon to Mangini's job.

All from a team that still might top out at just 8-8. The Pats had to start winning Super Bowls before they got poached like that.

That is an interesting, and possibly excellent, take.

Not sure about that. Remember, Cox was brought here by Mangini, not Ryan.
