Browns Defensive Coordinator Rob Ryan Unlikely To Be Retained

..and that I put on Daboll and Mangini at a ratio of about 60/40. Daboll's ineptitude at calling plays was sickening, but his responsibilities should have been taken away at the point where it was obviously costing the team wins. As for Ryan again, he was definitely responsible earlier in the season for at least the loss in Baltimore. No switch was made from the Eric Wright/Anquan Boldin matchup, even after he scored three times.

Mangini did himself in by sticking behind both him and Delhomme. That was the wrong kind of stability to seek, and it cost him. I can't fault the organization one bit for wanting to form a new staff since so many things changed in the time since Mangini was hired (by Lerner).
