So the two biggest reasons behind the Rob Ryan love fest is that he gets fired up and runs a pretty good defense. A distant third being the Ryan-Bowl spectacle.
Seriously?!
Ross has a chance to set up this team for years to come. That decision will go far beyond simply replacing Tony with Rob Ryan.
We need a no BS evaluation of Ireland. His drafts have been adequate, but our free agent acquisitions and trades have been terrible(I for one would love to have the Marshall trade back).
If he is a failure then Ross needs to replace him with a proper executive.
Russ Ball has been mentioned. CK describes him in the "Carl Peterson" thread.
Read the Palm Beach Post article regarding the Ted Thompson miss.
We need a guy with strong NFL executive experience, who has high acumen and comes from a winning environment. Why are certain teams successful and others aren't. This happens year and year out.
After that you trust your executive and give him time.
The Coach, the GM it all falls into place when the system is in place.
We tried the Bill Parcells school of thought and that has failed.
At the end of this year it will be time to reboot.
For me the benefit of getting Cowher won't be Cowher. It will be the fact that he will poach those Pittsburgh guys that built a dynasty.
