Rob Ryan fired by Dallas Cowboys...

Apparently he has never been part of a winning team in his 9 years as a defensive coordinator.

From how cocky he sounds you'd never guess it...

I think the 5 minutes are up.

Jerry has commented on the firing...

He specifically points to two losses, Chicago and Seattle, when their defense was healthy but still didn't perform, for the firing.

This sounds like a horrible fit, both with personnel and the fact that he's 72 freaking years old! Does Jerry want someone around to make him feel younger??? :fp:

He's considered one of the best defensive minds in football, and I know he's 72 but he's not going to be playing. He might not be a long-term guy, but he can put a system in place. I know his philosophy doesn't really fit the personnel Dallas has, but they can adjust. The 3-4 hasn't taken Dallas anywhere since they switched to it in 2005, might as well go back to the 4-3.

I think it's a good move personally. And I throw around compliments to Jones like manhole covers. I think he made a smart choice. Kiffin might not be around in 5 years, but he can get your defense on track and somebody else can continue building where he leaves off.

yup. good move....coming from an eagles fan.

this kind of good move might be about 5 years late for this team though.

Unusually quiet FA period for Dallas ...

Is this team the worst drafting team in the league? You trade down then draft a guy rated to go in the 3rd round (and it's a poor trade to begin with), and the 2nd a TE who can't block. Not off to a good start.

I haven't paid much attention to what they've done, but if the local news was any indication, they didn't do well. People leaving irate voice mails and tweets, pretty much the talk of the town today. They also said something like this is the first time Dallas has ever not had a press conference with their first pick.

Hartydog · April 2013

Puzzling. Just puzzling. The next two picks were questionable as well.

lukin2006 · April 2013

I guess the positives is that might have got a good WR, and hopefully Felix Jones replacement...I guess we'll see.

I'm not holding my breath. The OL is still pretty much the same as last except a rookie at centre or guard and we all know the OL was terrible...

receiver isn't exactly something you guys needed though...right?

i think the birds made out the best in the division this week.

I think the thought process behind getting a receiver is that Austin has had nagging injuries the last 2 years...other than that I don't think we would have drafted a receiver.

It does look like the eagles made out well...

as long as jerry is running the show i won't get my hopes up, and if they ever do have success in the post season it won't be anything he has done (other than sign the pay check). It kind of looks like Romo will need to dodge the pass rush again this year. I see no point even thinking about another QB until the line is reasonably fixed.

I think a Cowboys fan can only come away from that game feeling good. I mean sure they lost in the end, but they were playing Peyton manning and the Denver Broncos and they game them their hardest fought game of the season so far, putting up 48 points. It was a hell of a game and they looked awesome. Too bad they didn't have Miles Austin, he would've helped put up even more points.

Looking forward to the Cowboys-Redskins next Sunday night. Canadian Thanksgiving weekend!

lukin2006 · October 2013

The O I feel a lot better about for sure ... Bill Callahan's first year running the entire O and they look far better than they ever did under Garrett. I'm just curious as to who's idea it was to hire Kiffen, at first I thought it was Jones ... but I have since read Garrett had a lot to do the with hiring and if thats the case Garrett hiring Kiffin will likely cost him his job ... I see know way that this team makes the playoffs with awful defensive play like that.

But that's just it, I went in to the game fully expecting to get blown out and then to lose the game like that after they should have won... I still don't think I've fully recovered yet. And then to have to hear people talk shit about Romo afterwards :roll:

Yeah I know but haters are gonna hate, so who cares what they say/think. I'm sure Peyton Manning said "great game," when they shook hands afterwards. Romo sure earned his respect. He outplayed the best QB in the NFL. He''s obviously not responsible for losing the game. He put up 5 TDs; the defence gave up 51 points.

Not to mention it's the best game of the season so far. Phenomenal game. And Romo was the main reason why. Not many QB's can come back and regain a lead over Peyton Manning.

lukin2006 · October 2013

They didn't lose because of Romo ... They lost because this defense is terrible. I don't know if what Romo did was the opposite of choke, but he did step up big time, he had to have known that they were going to need a ton of points and he delivered. Unfortunately for all the talking this defense did leading up to the game they didn't deliver on the field.

There was plenty of mistakes to go around, too many penalties, Bryant's turnover and just downright lousy defensive play. On this day Romo was not the problem, he was the reason this game was even close.
