Rob Ryan

[Captain Silver]

It really is amusing. Those awful 'taches.

It was nice of Buddy to dress up as the boys idol, Col. Sanders, for the occassion.

I was thinking more Boss Hogg...

Not sure if anybody saw this. I guess Ryan & Roman can't get into sideline fisticuffs with GRo up in the booth:

I don't think he's wrong about playing man coverage and committing to the run

FYI you can be really good at coaching a position group and really bad at calling plays for the whole defense.

Well they're certainly not too far off the mark. Which is perhaps why you & a few others were so quick to take offense or criticize/mock their comment. Pot & kettle much?

And be a great coordinator but suck as a head coach. It's just the Peter Principle.

Wink at the moment is infallible. Whatever he wants to do with the defense is fine by me.

Since Weaver got brought up in this thread, I figure this would be the most appropriate spot to put this news:

Is this the Ravens coaching staff thread, now?


An Anthony Weaver timeline

Born July 28, 1980 in Killeen, Texas.

Of Irish-Samoan decent. Both of his parents served in the Army. His father Ralph retired as a sergeant major.

As Player

1994-98 Saratoga Springs HS in NY. Defensive end.

Played football and basketball. Also kicked!
National Football Foundation scholar-athlete award.
Has given financial support to the football program and needy children in the community.
Inducted 2010 into the Blue Streak Hall of Fame.

1999-2002 Notre Dame. Defensive line (HC Bob Davie)

Was one of four captains in 2001. Started four straight seasons on the defensive line for the Irish.
All-freshman first team. One of four team captains in 2001.
Team MVP in 2001. Second-team All-American.

2002	Ravens	16 starts, 3.5 sacks. (DC Mike Nolan, DL Rex Ryan, D asst Mike Pettine)
2003	Ravens	15 starts, 5 sacks.
2004	Ravens	15 starts, 4 sacks (Pettine to asst DL coach)
2005	Ravens	8 starts, 2 sacks (Rex to DC, CBrooks hired as DL coach, Pettine to OLB coach)
2006	Texans	15 starts, 1 sack (HC Kubiak; DC Richard Smith; DL Jethro Franklin; Robert Saleh D QC coach)
2007	Texans	13 starts
2008	Texans	16 starts

As Coach

2010	U Florida	Grad Asst at age 30. (HC Urban Meyer; Dan McCarney asst HC/DL coach)
2011	North Texas	LB Coach. (HC Dan McCarney)
2012	Jets	Asst DL coach (HC Rex Ryan; DC Mike Pettine; DL coach Karl Dunbar)

2018	Texans	DL Coach (Crennel back to DC)
2019	Texans	DL Coach
2020	Texans	DC

It's fascinating how Weaver as DL coach ties us right back to our lineage with Rex Ryan and Clarence Brooks as DL coaches.

Also striking how – I mean, I'm sure Weaver is a good DL coach – but man, "who you know" sure hasn't hurt him in his coaching career.

(Did you know the 2006 Texans staff was a hotbed of coaching talent? Not just Saleh, but also Matt LaFleur got his start there.)

Wow. Ryan makes a lot of good points about the offense but he said Gus Edwards is just a guy....that is an incorrect observation

Talk about "who you know" being an advantage in coaching!

After jumping down SF's throat about Rob Ryan being a "wink hire", I'm embarrassed to see that this guy looks 100% like an "Anthony Weaver hire". I'm curious if Harbs had anyone in mind before Weaver lobbid for Lynne. We'll likely never know.

Note we still have Chirs Hewitt.
