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

[KYPack]

I was surprised the Oakland coach wasn't listed, but I guess it was too much of a stretch to consider them an NFL team.

Trestman was supposed to be an offensive guru and QB whisperer, but Cutler and company have regressed badly this year. The defense sucking up a storm certainly hurts him, but it is the offensive problems that will likely doom him.

Ryan is the anti QB whisperer. QB's steadily regress under his teachings. Just look at Sanchez (when not facing GB), vs anything he did in NY. It doesn't matter who they pick, Rex will wreck 'em.

Harbaugh may get the axe for personal reasons, but SF will likely get worse because of it.

Coughlin has enough hardware to survive, but the Giants will be in a tough position. I can't see them extending him at age 69 (next season), but teams hate to have a coach in the last season of his contract. Maybe if he announces that he will retire after 2015, he can get the players to rally around him.

Smith is a tough call. They are probably suffering some of the effects of trading up for Jones, but he is on thin ice. If he fired coordinators after last year, he may go, otherwise he might survive by firing the DC.

What about the other Smith? Lovie, that is.

Tampa is a train wreck, but guess not much was expected.

They blew last weeks game with Cincy by having 12 men on the field for 2 consecutive plays in the last minute.

Tampa Bay so had that game wrapped until that fiasco.

With Lovie's past record, I don't think they will fire him after one season, given where Tampa was to begin with. There would have to be something else besides the record to get Lovie fired. Similarly with Jacksonville, I don't see them giving this coach the axe after one season, even if they do suck.

Yer right.

Jax and TB don't have a lot of talent, but..

All game long, their front 7's are coming at you, looking to knock your dick off.

That's hard to instill in an NFL team and those clubs have that kind of mojo. If either club can put together an effective offense, they will improve next year.

The team that really impresses me is Buffalo. Their 7 guys are big, mean, fast and nasty. They need a lot to become big winners, but they play tough football where it counts all game long.

QFT. They made Joe Thomas look like Marshmallow Outhouse. That is gonna be one hell of a dog fight up there.

Green Bay @ Buffalo isn't a TRAP game as that team offers a good challenge.

I believe I already posted that I rank the Bills @ NO. 8.

What are the chances of Jim Harbaugh replacing Marc Trestman?

By: Brad Biggs

" I don’t expect we will hear from general manager Phil Emery, chairman George McCaskey or team president Ted Phillips until after the season is over. Those are the only three men with a good idea where this thing is headed at this point.

And McCaskey might be the only man with true insight into where this is headed as he’s widely believed to be the person who made the decision to oust former GM Jerry Angelo after the conclusion of the 2011 season. "

Except this is Bradley's 2nd year year in Jacksonville. His to date record is 6-22. If they lose out I could see the owner getting jumpy and bringing the ax.
