Nothing personal....but someone has to say it.
Your comment is idiotic

WOW!!! I'm speechless!!! I guess people don't appreciate anything these days!!!

Re: It's Firing Season
 

If the Panthers or Ravens were smart....they'd fire their coach and hire [B]Schottenheimer[/B].
The best fit would be Carolina as I doubt the Ravens make any change.
He will be a hot commodity and he matches well with those teams.
I'd also say he'd match Miami, but there is no way he could work for Parcells.
And I seriously doubt he would fit with Atlanta, Rams, 49ers, Raiders, Jets.
And I dont know if he'd ever go back to the Chiefs.

Re: It's Firing Season
 

Hot Seat (sp?):
Coughlin: The Giants fading again in the 2nd half of the season. I think lots of people want him gone even though I don't really agree with it. He has a decent shot of being fired if he doesn't advance in the playoffs.
Lovie Smith: Doubt he goes anywhere after one down year, but if this trend continues he could be gone somewhat quick in Chicago. Won't happen this season, but could be a sign of things to come.
Lewis: The defense is terrible, the offense was once potent. I feel most coaches run their course eventually. We have to remember what state the Bengals were in when Lewis went to that franchise too. I think he has a decent shot of being canned or them blowing up that team a bit. Seem to be some deep rooted problems.
Rod Marinelli: I definitely don't feel he deserves it, but it depends on how much the owner likes Matt Millen. Millen may be trying to save his job by using Marinelli as a scapegoat. I think the Lions did much better this year, but late season fades are always bad for coaches.
Andy Reid: Off the field trouble with his sons, a terrible season by recent Eagles standards. Lucky for Andy Reid, fans in Philly are patient... I could see him getting shipped off but doubt it.
Nolan: This one I'm not sure of. I think Nolan sticks around, but I doubt he gets an extra year past this one if he doesnt show improvement.
Billick: If he were a newer coach in Baltimore, he'd definitely be gone. He's done so much for that franchise it might be hard to can him just one year removed from the playoffs. He seems to have lost the team, I think there's a 50-70% chance hes gone.
Linehan: No way he goes. All of his star players went down, his team made the Redskins look like they had all their starters for the first 16 weeks. Once he got starters back, his team started playing much better. The only thing that will cause trouble now, are the fights on the sidelines. Depending on how much is behind that, he could he in trouble there.
Shanehan: No way he gets fired after this year, but his stay in Denver might be coming to a close (and if we don't go the G Will route, I'd love to have him in DC)
Mangeni: Jets will keep him at least one more year, another bad year and hes in trouble.

I could see this as a year without many hires/fires. Maybe some quitters such as Cam, Petrino (already happened), etc. But not a ton of movement in the coaching ranks IMO.

If they were smart, they would hire Mike Singletary.

Say what??

Sorry that literally made me laugh out loud.

Those same 'patient' fans wanted both Reid and McNabb gone about a month into this season.

Re: It's Firing Season
 

If Tom Coughlin plays his starters and BEAT the Patriots this week. He will be back next year. If he rest his starters and mess up his franchise by losing to the 15-0 Patriots, people will remember that the Patriots beat the Giants to b e 16-0. Then he goes on to lose to the Bucs? He will be gone next year. I think if Coughlin wants to keep his job, the Giants need to beat the Patriots this weekend or atleast pass the first round in the playoffs.

Re: It's Firing Season
 

no offense taken guys. ive said before gibbs is great as a pres. or mabey gm. but i just dont like him on the sideline, or in the locker room. he just dosent have the fire from my point of view anymore, and i wont forgive the double time-out anytime soon, but he handled the passing of ST better than anyone else ever could.

If he were to make the playoffs, would you forgive him?

He handled the passing of ST better than anyone else ever could, but you still you don't like him in the locker room?

Re: It's Firing Season
 

The panthers have a GM so I don't think you can lay personal issues on Fox alone. I don't think they can get anyone better, plus he has taken that team to an NFC championship game and a SB. He kinda reminds me of Bill Cowher...he is a very good coach and deserves at least one more shot.

Re: It's Firing Season
 

[quote=SmootSmack;397330]Bulger, Holt, and Jackson all had issues even verbal blowouts with Linehan. It's possible he's lost the team[/quote]

No question Linehan has lost that team and he should be fired. I don't even know why they hired him in the first place.He reminds me of a young Norv Turner. Good O/C bad H/C. Here is my problem is Linehan. He has no clue how to use Jackson. I mean they get down on the goalline and they are always trying to pass the ball. The dude should have stats like LT, he's that good. Plus they take him out of the game alot on 3rd downs. He's the best player they have ( IMO) and they take him off the field on 3rd down? Perhpas he's being careful with him cause he's been injured but you gotta wonder.

That was a total bonehead move. But you know what was worse? Letting a rookie QB throw the ball over the middle for a 30+ yard gain with 30 seconds left. Who gets the blame on that one?????

Re: It's Firing Season
 

[quote=SmootSmack;397317]Mike Nolan, John Fox, Scott Linehan could and probably should all get fired. I wouldn't have kept Marvin Lewis either. He's a defensive genius but his defense is continuously poor. He has a bunch of troublemakers on the team (who he played a huge part in selecting, if not the final say), and TJ and Chad are supposedly getting into locker room arguments with Palmer. Lots of wasted talent there[/quote]

Smoot.. have you heard of Marty S. going to STL??? I heard that somewhere a few weeks ago but don't remember where.
