In his first season as DC, my gut feeling is he'll be as good as Saleh (at the least)... I won't be shocked if he do better.

all comes down to which players will be here on the D side of the ball..

He sucked as a HC. He was a great LB coach.

He knew jack s**t as a LB coach. Also had reputation for not exactly being a grinder.

He's definitely going to have more than what we ended up with on the field last part of the season... he'll always have the experience of a depleted roster in the back of his pocket. If that day ever occurs again, he'll know what to do from watching Saleh work through it and being a part of it himself.

Shanny, Saleh and players all respect him for his abilities to coach and they also think he's real smart. I think it will show in practice and game day. Players gotta execute tho...

sure he had the experience of dealing w/the depleted roster, but the players we have this season was matured and knew the program... we can't say that to anyone new because at times, it takes a while before teammates GEL and have a great chemistry..

I wish him the best, but personally, I think a team needs a veteran coach to assemble a new D while the team is young and playoff caliber...

If Saleh wanted to bring him as DC then he must be plenty qualified. I think it's the best case scenario to keep as much continuity possible with defensive coaching and system.

It's going to be interesting what kinds of tweaks and changes he'll make with this defensive scheme in 2021.

Learning from any mistakes that Saleh made and do better (I hope) for starters...

As long as his first order of business isn't pushing for Brian Allen to be penciled in to replace Richard Sherman then I think he will do fine.
(Poor Brian Allen )
Saleh had good success with the scheme , hopefully DeMeco can keep it going.
Like Seifert's wife told him when he took over for Bill Walsh. "Just don't screw it up"
What defensive scheme did Ryans play in the NFL?
Anybody want to be a prophet and foresee any tweaks that he might make from his playing days?

I don't know who Richard Smith is, but that was his DC in HOU for his first couple seasons. Richard Smith was a LB coach for the 49ers for six seasons when Mooch was HC. What I don't see is any experience playing behind a wide9. So Ryans experience with the wide9 is only from the 49ers the past two seasons, if my quick research is correct. He also had a season with Wade Philips in HOU and Billy Davis in PHI so he's played in a 4-3 and a 3-4.

Since Ryans was with the 49ers ever since Kyle came on board, Ryans was in position to see the transition from the 4-3Under front to the wide9. In other words, he was here the entire time as the 49ers morphed their defense to what it is now. That seems encouraging that he will stay with the wide9, although there's a possibility that he grit his teeth and went with the transition to the wide9 while not believing it was the best thing to do. As far as coverages, and what he did in his playing days, I can't tell.

I think I'll wait until he's coached a few games before I start ripping or praising him.

Keeping Varrett and Moseley (RFA) is a must. The defense is so much better when they have cover corners on the field. Spoon was too inconsistent. We don't need any more projects or to draft guys just because they have size and speed.

Ryans will have the pass rush back next year, with Warner leading the defense. That's all any DC could ask for. The good thing about hiring young coaches within is that they'll likely stick around for several years, allowing us to maintain continuity

Well one thing I hope he learns is to see whether he can get more edge rusher depth. I'd love getting Hyder back and teaming him with Bosa and maybe getting a young Hyder/Blair 2.0 in the draft. I hope Demeco doesn't value QB pressures more than sacks, that's for sure.

Has he been named DC officially, yet?

I bet he did grit his teeth through the transition. I know I did. But it worked out. I think Kocureck will be a big part of keeping the wide 9, and helping Demeco coach and develop the wide 9. I think I can see some schematic developments on the back end of the wide 9 specially with the D Line so spread out, maybe the Cornerbacks, outside linebackers and safeties can cheat more one way or another - in certain situations - specially if they anticipate a mobile QB calling a roll out or sprint out.
