Rob Ryan said he'd be out of work for "like five minutes" after the Dallas Cowboysfired him Tuesday. It has been a little more than that, but Ryan already might have a new gig.
"Might" being the key word.
Sources told New York Post reporter Brian Costello on Friday that Ryan had been hired as defensive coordinator for the St. Louis Rams, who still haven't fired the indefinitely suspended Gregg Williams. NFL.com's Ian Rapoport called the report premature, and another source told Costello the deal wasn't done but close.
ESPNDallas.com's Calvin Watkins reached Ryan, who said, "I'm on a beach and have talked to nobody and have no comment."
Still with us?
So at the moment, Ryan still is unemployed. But that could change in like five minutes.
