IFWT_Rob Rex Ryan Bills

Rob Ryan did what he and his brother Rex does best, talk sh-t.  Rob said his last two years as the New Orleans Saints’ defensive coordinator were “a waste of time” because he didn’t really have control when they tried to copy the Seattle Seahawks defense.

“There are two years that don’t have my signature on them, and it’s the last two years in New Orleans. And that’s just the truth,” Ryan said during an interview with The MMQB.

“I should have gone into Sean (Payton head coach) and talked to him. Sean is a good person. I didn’t, and I just let it happen, so I deserve what I got,” Ryan said. “Look, I have been fired before. But I get pissed in New Orleans because I know I am better than that. I am a way better coach than I was allowed to be, and that’s just the truth.

The Saints went from being ranked fourth in the NFL in defensive yardage in 2013 — Ryan’s first year in New Orleans — to 31st in both 2014 and 2015

“Oh, we are dead last in defense. Well, yeah, you are going to be dead last playing this bulls— defense. But it is my fault because I didn’t say anything. I never stood up and said, ‘F you, I ain’t coaching this.’ I promise you I’d say it now.”

“But hey, I did the best job I could. And it wasn’t good enough. They should have fired me. They probably should have fired everybody that made that decision to go in that direction. Now I’m going to move my whole family over here to Buffalo for a reason: to go kick everybody’s ass, including theirs.”

Rob was fired from the Saints last November and joined his brother Rex as an assistant coach with the Buffalo Bills.

Payton acknowledged that they made changes but said it’s “silly” to say Ryan didn’t have any control.  Also said it wasn’t one man’s defense.
