Well, see ya later Why did Jerry Jones fire Rob Ryan? After the season was over, Jones famously said that things were going to be uncomfortable around Valley Ranch.

The Dallas Cowboys' failure to make the playoffs cost Rob Ryan his job, as the defensive coordinator was fired Tuesday, according to multiple media reports.

The Dallas Cowboys have fired defensive coordinator Rob Ryan. Ryan’s firing was not entirely unexpected as team owner Jerry Jones promised to make things “very uncomfortable for the next few weeks and months at Valley Ranch.” Ryan had served as the Cowboys defensive coordinator for the last two seasons. He had one year left on his contract. “I inherited a team that was 31st...

Was firing Rob Ryan right move for Cowboys?

Via Fox Sports Southwest  |  January 08, 2013
Jerry Jones promised changes last week and the Cowboys owner delivered Tuesday by firing defensive coordinator Rob Ryan. Was it the right change? Looking at all the facts and numbers and knowing the Cowboys' biggest weaknesses the firing of Ryan smells like a case of merely making a change for change's sake. That's usually the worst reason to make a franchise-altering...

Rob Ryan reportedly close to deal with Rams

Via The Other Paper  |  January 12, 2013
It looks like New York is only big enough for one of the Ryan twins after multiple reports Friday said  that Rob Ryan was nearing a deal with the St. Louis Rams as their defensive coordinator. Rob Ryan was the Dallas Cowboys defensive coordinator until he was fired Tuesday.  Ryan's dismissal, along with the New York Jets canning of defensive coordinator Mike Pettine and linebackers...

Dallas Cowboys: Rob Ryan Had to Go as Defensive Coordinator

Rob Ryan Dismissed, who replaces him?

Via CowboysBlog.Net  |  January 08, 2013
The Cowboys fired another assistant coach, and this time its defensive coordinator Rob Ryan. This is a move that I wanted to see happen, and one that needed to happen. Fact is, Ryan talked too much and couldn’t back it up, nor did he he ever elevate the defense to a top flight defense. Its funny to hear that his defense was exotic and aggressive – it was not. How many times did...

Via Helmet2Helmet  |  January 11, 2013

Jerry Jones makes first big move after vow

Via Fox Sports Southwest  |  January 08, 2013
Apparently when Jerry Jones vowed last week to make things uncomfortable at Valley Ranch, he wasn't kidding. Running backs coach Skip Peete was the first man overboard Monday, but the Cowboys followed that by firing defensive coordinator Rob Ryan on Tuesday. With his next firing, Jones could aim even higher. There is absolutely nothing to suggest that head coach Jason Garrett...

Rob Ryan And His Econoline Van Are Out Of Dallas

Via Kissing Suzy Kolber  |  January 09, 2013
It’s not every coordinator firing that KSK bothers to cover, but not every coordinator is Rob Ryan, a man who never stopped rocking, being real or doing eightballs in the first seat of his 1999 Ford Econoline conversion van. This off-season, both Ryan brothers were almost out of jobs, which would have left this a much poorer league for the sake of depravity. That might sit well...

Brian Costello (@BrianCoz) January 9, 2013That's how it all started.  Within minutes it had spread like wildfire.  I didn't want to believe it- this man, who held together a respectable defense in the final weeks of the season using walk-on players, had just been fired.This hadn't been...
