People talking about the Bills having a second "non-losing season"...lol
Personally, I see 8-8 as a non-winning season. Since the actual goal is to have more W's than L's.
Well at the very least, hiring Ryan will buy the new owners some more time to make it to playoffs.
After 2015 they can rightly say he (Ryan) needs more time to put "his" mark on the team.
