eeyeats Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 http://blog.washingtonpost.com/redskinsinsider/2008/01/rex_ryan.html#comments Rex RyanThe former Ravens defensive coordinator - and possibly future Ravens defensive coordinator - has been talked about among many NFL people as a possible replacement for Gregg Williams should Jim Fassel get the job. Ryan has ties to Vinny Cerrato and his name has come up frequently during this hiring process. 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. Redskins coaches still have been told nothing about the coaching vacancy and no word given to any candidates recently. A decision could come today perhaps. Sources said there was a brief conversation between Jim Schwartz's represenatives and the Redskins Sunday night but numerous parties invovled in the search, connected to numerous candidates, said they have been told essentially nothing in the last day. Stay tuned. Other stuff: Two Redskins coaches have their contracts expiring, RB coach Earnest Byner and LB coach Kirk Olivadotti. League sources would not be surprised to see Byner end up back with the Ravens possibly in the same role ... The Redskins contingent in Mobile is up in arms. Players and coaches are distraught over the poorly worded press release regarding Cerrato's promotion and Jim Fassel's emergence as a candidate with multiple interviews. They are taking a lot of grief from other team''s people down there and, according to some league sources, the word "laughingstock" is being thrown around in regards to how the team is operating. The timing of the Cerrato release and the fact that it stated he would have "roster" control was a big issue down there; that's always the domain of the coach. The team later backtracked on that issue when I pushed it with them and said any new coach would pick the players, but the inclusion of that word, clumsily or not, read like a "shot across the bow," according to one GM. Of course the players and coaches have a vested stake in Williams getting the gig, too, as it would mean greater security for them and in many cases a contract extension or re-negotiation. Snyder's reputation of meddlesome ways is working against him here and the league is watching to see if he really chooses stability. This promotion reads to many as an extension of the past in that Snyder runs the team through Vinny, and Vinny and Dan, especially with Gibbs gone, will be in essence the team president/GM/whatever else. The titles don't matter; Snyder is obviously very involved and Gibbs said as much so many times in talking about draft picks, free agents, contracts, etc. They can lurk in the shadows and the coach gets to meet the media everyday and take all the blame. Of course the players and coaches have a vested stake in Williams getting the gig, too, as it would mean greater security for them and in many cases a contract extension or re-negotiation.

LiveStrongSkins Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 If you really want Fassel then hire him on the offensive side of the ball. Is he really worth **** canning a top 10 defensive unit just to get him to mentor the QB??? This cant be happening...:doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ntotoro Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 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), As if the 'Skins' situation is so much better right now.

whitejimmy Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I didn't think the Rex Ryan part made sense. I don't think GW or AS are going anywhere. If Fassel or someone else is brought in as Head Coach, they will have limited power. GW will still run the D, AS will still run the O, and Cerrato picks the players.

eeyeats Posted January 23, 2008 Author Share Posted January 23, 2008 interesting that they called schwartz, haven't even heard his name since the initial interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HEavyJumbo85 Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I think they mean draft picks not cash. all you have to do is name him the assistant head coach of defense and no draft picks are required. it would be a promotion for rex.

Technically we don't have one, but for all intensive purposes it's Dan Snyder, which is very very depressing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSO Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 The entire media is pissed off at how they're all being left out in the dust on all of this like they're nothing, so they're punishing Dan for it. It's easy to see. They cry about how we've been so secretive every chance they get, you really think that hasn't affected their opinions? Here we go again. Bash-the-FO city. Oh, and one more thing. I can't stand it when some idiot journalist reports that people around the league are calling us or the process a "laughingstock". Whatever. It's as if we're not playing in an extremely competitive sport where all these guys are after one another's heads and jobs. Yeah... they'll always have nice things to say about us, right? That crap we here the same people say in front of the cameras is NOT what they say behind closed doors about each other. Everyone likes the way their own **** smells. We're so damn easily influenced here. It's a reflection of our society actually. The media, in all its forms, controls the majority and it's sad. We need to think for ourselves, and accept the fact that from time to time, WE JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON. Speculation is a friggin poison.

Fred Jones Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I do agree that the owner keeping everything hush is working against him at this point. I kind of feel bad for the scouts. Some of the other teams are probably laughing at them down there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Fassel or someone else is brought in as Head Coach, they will have limited power. GW will still run the D, AS will still run the O, and Cerrato picks the players. What coach in his right mind would take that deal? It's not like these coaches and players were picked by whoever would be the new candidate if GW doesn't get it. I just don't see any coach in the league accepting a job where the DC and OC are forced upon them along with not having the right to pick their players.
