At a Zoom press conference earlier today, East Nashville head coach Rex Ryan announced he has hired hall of fame quarterback Joe Montana as the Black Dogs' new offensive coordinator.
“I am thrilled to announce that the legendary Joe Montana will be joining our staff as the new offensive coordinator,” Ryan told the members of the media who were participating on the Zoom call. “He's already talked with both our quarterbacks by phone and is traveling to Nashvegas today. That’s why he wasn’t able to join us.
“It’s no secret we need to score more points," he continued. “The Smack Daddies have raised the bar another notch when it comes to offense, and we think Joe can help us catch up.”
The announcement came as Ryan and his brother, Rob, who is the team's defensive coordinator, are under fire not only for the Black Dogs' 0-3 start, but also because of a video released yesterday by TMZ Sports that showed the brothers roughing up a Buena Vista fan at a downtown restaurant.
Veteran NFFA reporter Woody Larry asked the head coach if the Montana announcement was really just to distract attention from questions about the video. “First of all, Woody, that video of the discussion Rob and I had with that little Baller bitch has nothing to do with it. We're 0 and 3, and we aren't scoring enough points to win. We think Joe can help us with that. It's not fucking rocket science.”
Sources inside the Black Dogs organization told AWP there was a lot of yelling and door slamming at team headquarters earlier this morning. Team owner and former longtime commissioner Bill Money was on the premises, which is a rarity these days. Rumors were flying that the Ryan brothers were going to get the axe, that new commissioner Bernie Sanders was threatening to fine the Ryans and the team over the video broadcast by TMZ Sports, and that even the Money sisters, team president Cash and general manager Mo, might get fired by their father.
Rumors are already swirling that bringing in Montana as offensive coordinator is just the first step toward him taking over as the team's head coach. AWP will have more on this story as it develops.
