We were disorganized under Rob Ryan but I think people were a little hard on him here. I can't remember the last time people were happy with our defensive coordinator. I think the problem with Rob Ryan had more to do with our talent then it did with his scheme.
Agreed. The disorganized thing bothered me, but otherwise I thought he did ok here. A lot of people were happy to see him go, but not me. He dealt with a lot of injuries last season just like Kiffin did, except we didn't collapse under Ryan. People forget, but our defense was very good that year under Ryan until the injuries hit.
And maybe I haven't watched them enough, but I dont remember seeing all this presnap confusion on the Saints defense. Maybe there was something else going on here out of Ryan's control. Barry Church basically admitted that the team doesn't study enough. That's a cultural thing that needs to start at the top.
