Rob Ryan on the short list?

So says John Czarnecki at http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/nfl-week-17-countdown-chicago-bears-green-bay-packers-010111

With John Fox coaching his final game with the Panthers, the club is expected to conduct interviews this week with prospective head-coaching candidates. Rob Ryan, defensive coordinator of the Browns, is on the list and possibly San Diego defensive coordinator Ron Rivera.

If true, what is it about Cleveland that we love so much?

Man i hope we hire him thats who i wanted i think he will be a great coach.

I hope this is one of those threads where people try to explain how every player on our defense could fit perfectly in a strict 3-4

We've gotten progressively worse since we started hiring Cleveland castoffs. There's a reason Cleveland sucks....

Rob Ryan is not coming to Carolina. Too many reasons to discuss. Nothing about him fits.

WTF?

Don't see this at all. Course, it's coming from some hack at Fox Sports, which sucks.

I think he would be a good fit for the 49ers

CZAR’S SCOOP: With John Fox coaching his final game with the Panthers, the club is expected to conduct interviews this week with prospective head-coaching candidates. Rob Ryan, defensive coordinator of the Browns, is on the list and possibly San Diego defensive coordinator Ron Rivera. There is no doubt that owner Jerry Richardson prefers to stay away from the high-profile coaches who would demand twice as much as an assistant coach. Arizona’s Russ Grimm could also be a candidate.

None of these guys will create the buzz that JR and the Panthers need to survive this offseason. A large portion of the fan base will quickly decide the Panthers are irrelevant and not worth the financial investment when and if the team hires another boring, relatively unknown defensive coordinator who has been passed over for other HC jobs, but someone seems to think he'll work just fine in Charlotte.

Too much personality for Richardson.

[err456]

JR didn't get a business worth over a billion by being a dummy. He may have screwed up somewhat this year by thinking Fox would work his coaching magic with the young guys but now even this has the potential to be a great move since we have the #1 pick and plenty of dough. JR will get it done.

[Panic]

If we bring in a 3-4 coach we are in serious trouble. Forget being back in 1-2 years, try 3-4 years easily.

[Panic]

If we do go to the 3-4 look for a 3-4 nose tackle and not Luck as the top pick. Maybe a trade down with extra picks. I'd rather see Luck.

Frankly, this is just STOOPID speculation.
