Dallas Cowboys fire defensive coordinator Rob Ryan; "I'll be out of work for like five minutes."

Dallas, TX - Jerry Jones promised big changes during the offseason and it seems the first shoe has dropped. Cowboys release defensive coordinator Rob Ryan after two years on a three year deal.

Ryan was quoted on ESPNDallas.com, "I inherited a team that was 31st in the league in defense and made them better. I f***ing made them a hell of a lot better. I'll be out of work for like 5 minutes."

The Dallas defense was the injured list for most of this season. Ryan rarely had the chance to coach his starters at all. Most of the time is was collection of players literally off the street.

Jones has also decided to part ways with the running back coach also, but fans want to know when will he hold the players accountable for another 8-8 season. Mainly, they want to know if he will finally replace Tony Romo.

Five Things to Watch: Dallas Cowboys vs Oakland Raiders

1. Tony Romo - will he start the preseason with the same urgency has Jerry Jones has stated he has to win now.
2. Rob Ryan's Defense - in his second year with new players, will we finally see why he is a good defensive coordinator.
3. Offensive Line - can Romo be protected.
4. Wide Receivers - with no Bryant and Austin, who will make a strong case to be the 3rd option.
5. Running Game - is Murray really the answer.

Dear Jerry Jones, Blow it up!

Last night was the last time this Cowboy fan gets kicked in the family jewels. Sure we could look at the numbers and know what happened in the game, but we need to focus on what we see with our own eyes. You can't find one team in the world that has enough luck to lose a game the same way as many times as the 2011-2012 Cowboys. Jerry, you have put your team in the hands of the best offensive and defensive coordinators at the available time for what? Can you honestly say you have confidence in Jason Garrett, the Princeton offensive guru, and Rob Ryan, the next NFL head coach? Can you have confidence in a QB that throws 4 TDs, but can't hit a wide open Miles Austin to win the game? What about a defense that can't line up before the opposing offense snaps the ball?

There is but one solution Mr. Jones, Blow it up! New personnel, new coaches, and a new GM. That's right Jerry...You're Fired! Stick to what you do best and market Americas team. Leave the football to football people like Jimmy and Parcells. You want to WIN don't you! Division opponents, like the Giants, have a better record in your stadium that your own team. I'm frustrated, I'm sick, I'm tired, and I'm out on this season....

Sincerely,
Cowboy Fan For Life
