I was skeptical about the Ryan hire initially, then he scored Roman and I started to come around. The rest of his assistant hires did not really impress me, but hell they are assistants, no fan is capable of identifying a good assistant. We are not privy to the information necessary to make those grades. I do know we did not get the online coach he wanted.
My first choice was to promote Schwartz to HC. Still wish we would have done it. There is still time for Rex to turn it around, and it starts by going back to the wide 9. If he is as big of a defensive guru as his reputation makes him out to be, this should not be hard to do.
Still a lot of season left, and I am pulling for them to get it figured out.
