Head Coach Exit Watch - Five NFL head coaches who will be fired. Really?

[pbmax]

Would the Raiders want a coach who was bad enough to lose to them?

That is precisely the impression he WANTED to leave, if you are a Raiders fan who now thinks Harbaugh lost on purpose to strengthen the Sparano regime and deny the Raiders his presence while driving up interest.

It's the Raiders.

Off topic:

Fritz is right. The NFL is becoming weird.

It piss's me off that the officiating is so dominant in too many game as far as game outcomes are concerned.

Home field advantage is pretty much up in the air.

Thank goodness and to keep it exciting. On any given Sunday any given team can win, prevails.

** On both sides of the ball.

Here's the main reason Marc Trestman needs to be fairly given more time.

[mraynrand]

Harbaugh is doing a full court press on the Raiders. He had an interview with a Bay Area guy this week with all of his fond recollections of Al Davis from the two years he was the QB coach and studied at Al's knee.

I think that's hairball on the left

[woodbuck27]

Add Miami's HC Joe Philbin to the watch list.

" Speaking on GameDay Morning Sunday, NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported that the futures of Tom Coughlin and Joe Philbin could be determined by whether their respective teams sinks or swims over the last three games. "

[Fritz]

Would Philbin come back to GB as OC if he's fired, or will he end up as the head coach of the University of Michigan?

And is the Chicago Bear GM in trouble?

I think Harbaugh has turned down Michigan; his wife likes the Bay Area. I see the next coach of the Oakland Raiders there.

If the Packers fire Dom, would they consider hiring sexy Rexy Ryan next year? Maybe lure him back to a DC position with a promise of free pedicures for his wife?

It'll never happen due to timing, but Vic Fangio will most likely be kicked loose in the upcoming Niners purge. He coaches a mean defense. I Fantasize about Vic.

I think he'll be one of main head coaching candidates coming into the offseason.

"Can't win with them. Can't."

[Fritz]

How old is Fangio? Hasn't he been around the block a few times? Mebbe he's getting too old to get a shot as a head coach....maybe there's hope that he could land in GB, with Dom's post-Super-Bowl-win retirement.

or something.

$ Save money $

Why don't the Packers simply dump Dom Capers and use his Bobble Head Doll to coordinate instead?

or something.

Lance Briggs “happy” with Robbie Gould’s comments

Posted by Josh Alper on December 25, 2014, 12:15 PM EST


" Earlier this week, Bears kicker Robbie Gould took issue with coach Marc Trestman’s decision to bench quarterback Jay Cutler in Week 16 and said it was a sign that “this whole season’s not the Bear way” in terms of dealing with the issues facing the team."

“I certainly know what the ‘Bear way’ is, I lived it for many years. We always did a really good job of protecting what’s in our house, that locker room. If we had any issues, we handled it within that locker room and we protected ourselves from the outside,” Briggs said, via the Chicago Tribune.

“There were a number of things that ended up slipping out that shouldn’t have. There was a lot of drama and there was more of a focus on what was happening off the field than what there was on the field and everything just kind of mounted and mounted on top of each other.”
