Coaching Rumor on SportsTalk 980

[J. Spanky]

if this is true, i don't think i'll be joining alot of you in the mass bandwagon jump. fassel is a questionable hire. but i'm hesitant to call it a bad one.

if it is true, let's at least wait to see what kind of staff he assembles.

What a horrible way to end such a hard season. GW loses his best player of all time, and then gets pushed out of the HC spot that he's wanted all along and worked hard for..... Nice, real nice....



I'd really like to know what the hell Dan Snyder is thinking... because he certainly isn't listening to his TEAM – you know, the way Gibbs did!!!!!!!

If it is then it is and we'll hope for the best. At this point, I hope we don't go after Rex Ryan. I am in no mood to be giving up draft picks as compensation for the guy.

if what i've read is correct, the ravens already fired ryan. in which case he is fully available for hire.

From JLC:

"However, according to a source with knowledge of the situation, Ryan's contract stats has been reported incorrectly. It's been widely reported that Ryan was fired along with the rest of Baltimore's staff. But while it's true that Ryan is free to interview for any head coaching jobs - and he's still in play in Atltanta (who isnt't at this point? what a debacle the Falcons' situation has become), the Ravens could still block any lateral move, according to a source.

Ryan remains Baltimore's property as a defensive coordinator, and could ask for compensation should another team want Ryan to run its defense. The Ravens players wanted Ryan to get the head coaching job there and there is a strong belief Baltimore would like to retain him as defensive coordinator. So I doubt they'll just let him walk down 95. Now, Ryan might also want to push for a change of venau as well given he was passed over for the head gig. They'll have to work some things out, obviously. And the Redskins could try to get creative with some new titles for him - a specialty round here - but the situation is certainly more complicated than it would seem on the surface."

Think you might be confusing him with his brother, Raiders DC Rob Ryan.

Rob Ryan also hasn't been fired, but the situation up there is so messed up that I don't think you could be blamed for getting it mixed up.

Well if hired, looks like they will try and bring Rex Ryan from B-More over to be our new DC. Which means bye to Williams and Saunders. So we are going to have the Baltimore Offense and Defense... woo hoo boring football. At least our Offensive players are a lot better then the Ravens.

Great point. Frankly, I'd like to see Williams stick around as D-coordinator if Fassel would have him. What I don't want to see is The Danny throwing draft picks like confetti to Baltimore as compensation for Rex Ryan as DC.
