The Cowboys made all of their assistant coaches – new and holdovers – available for comment on Thursday in the locker room.
They all talked and they all had interesting perspectives on the team, their job and the overall situation.
But as expected, new defensive coordinator Rob Ryan was every bit the character and personality we anticipated. He stood there for about 20 minutes and spoke with excitement for the talent he’s inheriting on defense. He spoke of the positives, which included guys like DeMarcus Ware, Anthony Spencer and Jay Ratliff. He seems to love the inside backers and he didn’t seem excited talking about the negative aspects of the defense.
When asked to pinpoint some weaknesses, Ryan shrugged and said “I’m not going to talk about that. Nah, we’re great.”
But overall, Ryan had no problems describing himself and his coaching style.
“I’m an honest, hard-working guy,” he said. “I’m not exactly a picture of perfect health or a male model. But I’m a (darn) good football coach. That’s what you should expect and that’s what you’ll get.”
Confidence doesn’t seem to be a problem for Ryan, who referred to himself as a “great” football coach on at least five occasions. He brought swagger and intensity to the field. Maybe that’s the first step to bringing that type of attitude to the defensive side of the ball, and possibly the entire team.
