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

[woodbuck27]

A carousel to be sure. Just guys moving around and around, it's a safer hire for GMs. New face like Chip Kelly sometimes work out, but for every one of those there's a Steve Spurier or that guy who flopped in Tampa waiting to happen. Why take that chance when Ryan, Fox, Mike Smith, etc are out there? No wonder Dick Vermeil's phone probably still rings.

Wild stuff !

Report: 49ers set to hire Jim Tomsula as head coach

Posted by Michael David Smith on January 14, 2015, 5:09 PM EST

" The 49ers are the only NFL team Tomsula has worked for: He became their defensive line coach in 2007 and has had that job ever since, first under Singletary and then under Jim Harbaugh. Before coaching for the 49ers all of his coaching experience was in NFL Europe, where he rose from a defensive line coach to the head coach of the Rhein Fire in 2006."

Nice promotion DL Coach >>> Head Coach without stopping at GO ! and collecting ... $200.00.

Reading the comments I'm not sure many are excited about this move by the powers in San Fran.

[Striker]

The question is, who will these new head coaches find to be their QB? The Raiders at least have somewhere to go with what Carr showed this season. And maybe Kaepernick can be salvaged.

But the Jets/Bills need to find someone to sling the ball around.

I can't believe Rex took that job, I can't see it working for him. Bills have a damn good defense, how much can he really improve it? There is no offense to speak of in place, and I doubt it will improve by his hand. Maybe he brings in Trestman and it clicks? I don't see how this works out for Rex or the Bills, and think it was a very bad hire.

Greg Roman named offensive coordinator (in Buffalo)

I read that this hire by Buffalo of Greg Norman was likely yesterday.

Marc Trestman was the 49ers OC and QB Coach in 1995-96.:

A Gary Kubiak hire could make things awkward with Peyton Manning

Posted by Mike Florio on January 14, 2015, 11:36 PM EST

" If Kubiak alters his not-this-year stance and ultimately becomes coach of the Broncos, a couple of awkward wrinkles could emerge. '

** Kubiak’s offense requires periodic quarterback mobility that wouldn’t necessarily work with the largely immobile Peyton Manning.

** Kubiak coached the one team that Manning was interested in joining three years ago, but that wasn’t interested in Manning. And Peyton has a long memory; he wanted to play for the Texans, the Texans weren’t interested, and Kubiak’s fingerprints reside somewhere on that decision.

Marc Trestman is the hottest commodity for OC. He could be the next Norv Turner.

Agree with you. Plus Buff doesn't even have a 1st rounder this year due to a trade to get Sammy Watkins. Orton retired so they have no QB. That team is going to be a mess on offense next year.

Is the dog wagging the tail or is it the other way around in Denver?

John Elway doesn't need money to remain strong? He has players to sign and he gets there or he pays for more of what he got from Peyton Manning over the last three seasons.

If I was him the experiment would be over and I'm looking for a long term answer at QB. Let Peyton Manning set his much desired NFL records with some 'Sucker team'.

I'm not a Peyton Manning fan. Too often I've seen him deep in the Red Zone pass for a TD and ignore his RB. He's about the records 'a me first now' NFL player. It's been that way and Peyton Manning for obviously too long. In my view he's now far worse than Brett Favre ever was. He's a busted record pursuing his need of records. A worn out playoff loser and you need to be a part of a team with a common desire before any individual desire.

The Denver Broncos went all in last season and looked marvelous on paper. That failed again and now John Elway needs the good sense to say 'no more' to Peyton Manning. It's that or John Elway and the Denver fans might prepare to witness Peyton Manning's tenth one and done in next season if the Broncos make the playoffs.

On the flip side I say bring him back John ! Show us that your not the GM that Denver needs.

[George Cumby]

Roman isn't going to help Buff's offense. Just ask the Niners.

[Smidgeon]

Why does John Fox in Chicago not scare me?
