OmahaBear Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 I would have fired him too after being the only Team to lose to the Dolphins.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearSox Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 rumor is that the whole coaching staff might be fired, including Rex Ryan... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pixote Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 rumor is that the whole coaching staff might be fired, including Rex Ryan... Seldom does a HC get fired and any of his coaching staff retain positions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackie hayes Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 Didnt they make a statement a few weeks ago saying he would remain as the coach? HE -- Billick -- made that statement, not "they". And they did fire the whole staff, though Newsome says they'll consider Ryan for the HC gig.

BearSox Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 Seldom does a HC get fired and any of his coaching staff retain positions. I know, but you'd have to be retarded to fire Rex Ryan... Actually, it turns out Ryan has already been fired. What stupid moves by the Ravens. Ryan is interviewing for the Falcons job, I bet he gets it.

DABEARSDABOMB Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 Rex Ryan is a great coord, he may end up getting a HC position this off-season and if he doesn't you know he'll get a fat contract to join some other team as a DC. It is a big mistake if the Ravens axe him. Than again I understand that they will want the knew coach to bring in his guys (But I'd at least give the knew coach the option of having Ryan). Billick was completely overrated as a HC and for all I know isn't near as smart as everyone once thought he was as an offensive mind (considering how piss poor the offense was in his entire tenure in Baltimore). I wonder if Billick will go back into the coaching ranks (and be willing to be an OC somewhere) or if he will sit out a year or two and than eventually doop some team into hiring him as an HC.

BearSox Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 Ryan is also in consideration for the Ravens HC, so his time there is done as a DC but can continue as a HC. I could see them having Ryan as their HC and then having Cameron as their OC, with someone already on the staff promoted to DC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearSox Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 crazy thought... what if Cowher comes back and coaches the Ravens? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balta1701-A Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 crazy thought... what if Cowher comes back and coaches the Ravens? I could see it happeneing, and I could see it both working and not working. As far as I can tell, outside of NE, the whole idea of the "Super-coach" who comes in and turns everything around with some incredible strategy is just wrong. You could plug Cowher into a lot of teams, and it might work, or it might not. The coach usually isn't the issue. The system usually matters vastly more. You need to have a coach and GM on the same page, picking players for their system, using the cap intelligently, and maybe even getting a little lucky. It also helps to have a Brady or a P. Manning.

DrunkBomber Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 crazy thought... what if Cowher comes back and coaches the Ravens? That got mentioned on Rome is burning today. I really dont see it happening. I do think he will come back eventually, I just dont think its been long enough or that he would want to go to the Ravens anyway.
