@STLouisRams
After extensive conversations regarding defensive philosophy, the Rams and Rob Ryan agreed he was not the right fit for the DC position.

I guess STL decided that not losing games due to defense is a good philosophy.

Um, shouldn't they have had "extensive conversations regarding defensive philosophy" before he was hired?

Fisher: Rams won't hire Rob Ryan

Updated: January 29, 2013, 12:42 PM ETESPN.com news services Recommend194Tweet234Comments712EmailPrint

The St. Louis Rams will not hire Rob Ryan as defensive coordinator after a second visit with the coaching staff Monday determined that his addition was not a good "scheme fit," according to coach Jeff Fisher.

Fisher noted that the team did not make an official announcement on the hiring of Ryan, but his team will publicly confirm that Ryan will not join the staff.


Last week, a source had told ESPN that Ryan would be hired as the Rams' defensive coordinator.

The boisterous Ryan was fired as defensive coordinator of the Dallas Cowboys on Jan. 8, soon after owner Jerry Jones said he would make major changes to a team that finished 8-8 and missed the playoffs.

After his ouster in Dallas, Ryan said, "I'll be out of work for like five minutes."

Last season, the Rams' defense was coached by a host of assistants after defensive coordinator Gregg Williams was suspended by the NFL for his role in the New Orleans Saints' bounty scandal. The team announced earlier this month that Williams, who has yet to be reinstated by the NFL, won't be with the team next season.

League sources have said that Williams is on the verge of being hired as the Tennessee Titans' assistant head coach.

Before Williams can finalize a contract with the Titans, however, he first must be reinstated by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell -- a move that could come as early as this week.

Information from ESPN senior NFL analyst Chris Mortensen and ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter was used in this report

He’s probably bitter as fuck or they heard some of the missing meetings rumors. Who knows and who cares. We got a fuckin elderly man to worry about.
