Cowboys Fire Rob Ryan...

[Upton]

The Dallas Cowboys have released defensive coordinator Rob Ryan on Tuesday evening, according to a source.

Ryan had one year remaining on a three-year contract.

The Cowboys defense finished 19th overall, 17th against the run and 21st against the pass.

"I inherited a team that was 31st in the league in defense and made them better," Ryan told ESPNDallas.com's Tim MacMahon. "I (expletive) made them a hell of a lot better. I'll be out of work for like five minutes"

1. There's always the Jets, I suppose

And I'm looking forward to NOT seeing so many shots of him on the sidelines I had to double check to make sure he wasn't the Cowboys' coach.

3. Best description of him I ever read came from Mich Albom

Called him "Santa's biker brother.". It still makes me laugh.

5. Ryan is a lot of show

his defenses tend to give up too many big plays, IMO.
