New Bills coordinator Rob Ryan: ‘Bring Belichick on. We got him’
'We're going to beat him'
The Ryan brothers are fraternal twins, but they might as well be identical. They look alike, and apparently they speak alike, too.
Rob Ryan, whom the Bills hired as their defensive coordinator this offseason, sounded like his brother Rex during an interview with MMQB.com published on Friday.
“We have got big plans,” Rob said of the upcoming season. “Bring Belichick on. We got him.”
Rex has jabbed at Belichick often during his tenure as the Bills and Jets head coach. But Rex is just as quick to compliment Belichick, whom Rex has called the best coach ever. Like Rex, Rob didn’t solely throw shade at Belichick, who was Rob’s boss from 2000 to 2003 when he was the Patriots’ linebackers coach.
“Not only is Rex a great head coach, but he is also a great defensive coach,” Rob told MMQB. “He’s going to be the best coach that I can work for, anytime. And I have worked for Belichick, who is the best head coach in football, in the history of the game. But we’re going to beat him, and we’re going to beat him together. And it’s going to be an awesome challenge.”
