OT: Black Monday (Coach Firings)

[JMC00]

Chip Kelly out
Chuck Pagano out

 

[IcyPatriot]

Coughlin has had a good ride ....

Some of these other teams change coaches too often.

 

[VrabelJr]

Reese should go along with Coughlin. Last 4 years have been awful for both of them. I imagine SD will also move on from Mike McCoy.

 

[Ivan]

I would add Caldwell, Campbell, Mularkey, Pagano (obviously), Payton, and possibly Fisher and McCoy

I'd laugh if that freeloader Fisher is fired. What an overrated jerk that guy is.

 

[The Gr8est]

I'd love to see Rex fired.

He deserves to be, but management announced he will return.

I think there's a good chance of it, especially if they go to LA, in which case Kroenke would most likely hire Al Pacino.

Sorry, but I gotta disagree with you, there, Bro.

Fisher is an exceptional Jerk.

Or hire Kevin Spacey to imitate him

You know Tune, I think you've nailed something there that I hadn't put my finger on. That's the perfect descriptive term for him.

somehow fisher with a worse record than kelly will keep his job

Looks like Washington will be going to the playoffs for 2nd time since RG3 trade. Meanwhile, STL hasn't posted a winning season since trade

 

[VrabelJr]

If the Detroit Lions ownership has a brain they will fire Jim Caldwell. But I would check Caldwell for a pulse first. They could get out of paying him entirely.

I imagine Tomsula will get fired unless the 49ers feel like they need a punching bag around for another year. They don't really have the talent (it all retired, though Willis might come back) to attract a good HC.

Lovie Smith should be fired but won't because their QB is only a rookie. Lucky for him they were able to draft a QB last year. He should take Winston out for some lobster as a thank you.

Mike McCoy will most definitely be fired. Philip Rivers will be traded if he is lucky. The entire defense should be cut for being such a huge disappointment despite having like five hundred 1st and 2nd rounders.

Hasn't won more than 8 games since 2009 and that was the year. Hasn't been to the playoffs since then either.

Awful

Gus Bradley is another one:Jaguars have a Gus Bradley problem

The Jags have the 4th most cap space, a good young QB in Bortles, good young skill guys in RB Yeldon and WR's Robinson and Hurns, a good young OL when Linder comes back next year and currently own the 6th pick in the draft.

The defense (esp the secondary) needs some playmakers (8 picks). The owner wants results and this looks like a team that could be on the rise. A coaching staff change and infusion of more top D talent could make this team very interesting next year.

I was sure Khan already said Bradley would be back.

That one was exceptionally funny Grid. I'd still be laughing if it didn't hurt my hangover headache so much

I see it as a tough call on the Jags(I may be the only one). While the best the Jags can do is end with 6 wins that would be their most wins since 2010. Further, most of their losses this year were tight scores resulting in maybe their best +/- since 2004 (if the Houston game is close it will be).

A perennial bottom feeder showing signs of life may not be a good time to change HC/regime. I'd frame the question like this: Will a new unproven regime provide a better chance at 2016 success than the known commodity whose latest results provided a clear glimmer of hope?
It's a fragile thing to change the almost decade long perennially loser mindset (look at how the Jets have been unable to shake it for decades). Even the slightest change in current could put see them slip backwards into the old mindset. So unless they have a known commodity waiting to take over at HC (Bill Cower, John Gruden or some other vet coach who has examples of multiple successes on his resume), I suggest it is better to stick with the existing regime to see if what they did this year is a sign of continued improvement in 2016.

Bradley isn't going anywhere. The owner said so couple days ago.
