Voicemail Left for Wrong Person Revealed Plan to Rob Coach Rob Ryan

Has anyone ever confused current Buffalo Bills assistant head coach Rob Ryan with rapper Lil Wayne?

Please say no.

Well, last preseason, the former New Orleans Saints defensive coordinator was nearly the victim of a robbery, according to a report from Ramon Antonio Vargas of the New Orleans Advocate. One of the would-be criminals apparently dialed the wrong number and, in a voicemail, mistakenly detailed to a federal worker the plot to rob Ryan.

"He don't got no security," the person said, per a court document obtained by Vargas. "He's just a regular football coach. ... He ain't ... big ... like [rapper] Lil Wayne or nobody ... that got bodyguards everywhere."

The Weezy connection—which certainly seems strange at first—is simple: Wayne is from NOLA.

"He ain't like Lil Wayne," the person said. "He just a ... football coach. ... Defensive coordinator of the Saints. He don't have no bodyguards ... in front his house."

The federal worker turned the voicemail over to the authorities. Police got involved.

Two suspects have since been jailed on other crimes and are awaiting trial. It was believed Ryan was one of several targets in affluent neighborhoods.
