Buffalo fires the Ryan Brothers.

I'm curious what the rationale is to fire somebody with one week left. Why not just let them play it out?

Eh....probably making a statement that there is a job opening....Yall come down hea and interview fer this....

Look up dysfunction in the dictionary and you'll see the Bills organization of late. 18 year playoff drought going back to the day that they benched the number 1 QB Flutie for a tall guy with a headband, (may as well have been horse blinders), with the nickname "Robosack".

It was also announced today that they would bench their starting QB Tyrod Taylor for the final game of the season and instead bring in someone taller. The taller guy doesn't have a headband, but he absolutely sucks.

how do the Ryan boys still get jobs?

Rex as a DC is all I think he can do..The other brother well he sucks

In other news Rob has just eaten Rex.

Rex Ryan is a genuinely good defensive coach who likes to put himself in the headlines way too much. Rob Ryan has coasted his entire career on his father's reputation. He's had a top 5 defense only once in 13 years as a DC.

It's funny, the Cowboys fan at work is still pissed Jerruh fired him a few years back. I just sit back and laugh.

I'm sensing some metaphors to Wilson here.... :mrgreen:

Hey, just wanted .NET to know that I'm a short dude myself.....about 6" shorter than Wilson, so hopefully ya'll can sympathize with the garbage short guys have to deal with in real life and not just for your QB with a potentially justifiable slight in the NFL. :2thumbs:

Agree. The various HC openings are already becoming known, so Bills probably wanted to be on the early list.

Who do we already have:

Rams
Jags

Chargers almost certainly, if not announced yet.

ESPN had a list of potential candidates (per Shefter) for the Bills (and other) coaching vacancy. On this list: Tom Cable.

No Bevel, but Cable. All I could think was "YES PLEASE, BUFFALO, TAKE HIM!!!"

At least one of the Ryan brothers has emerged from a grim December in Buffalo to interview for a coaching position in 2017.

The Redskins confirmed Monday that they spoke with Rob Ryan for their defensive coordinator vacancy. Ryan, 54, last served as the assistant head coach/defense for his twin brother Rex. Both were let go a week before the season ended. Ryan last ran a defense back in 2015 with the Saints.
