Fired head coaches

[esoxx]

Out:

Marinelli - Det
Edwards - KC (he didn't win enough games!)
Crennel - Clev
Phillips - Dal (after Philly debacle, he's gone; JJ needs a scapegoat)
Haslett - Stl
Lewis - Cin (long overdue)

On the fence:
Mangini - (players hate him. They hate Coughlin too but he wins)
Del Rio - Jax (players hate him)
Jauron - Buf
Cable - Oak

Let the bloodletting begin!

On a side note, I'm very pleased Minn made the playoffs to extend the reign of one Brad Childress.

Short term pain for long term relief.

Del Rio - Jax (players hate him)

really? i thought he was a player's coach. they seemed to like him on that nfl network series (where they hang with a team for several weeks).

He was well liked until that incident with Peterson in the team meeting. After that they basically quit on him. I would be surprised if he came back, even with the contract extension he got before the season.

They're either going to have to turn over the players or get a new coach in there. Fred Taylor stated he had never been on a team with such poor chemistry.

had no idea. thanks!

I can garauntee Marvin Lewis will not be fired.

The players hate a coach?

That is no factor in their survival.

Do the Superstars hate the coach?

Ask Brian Billick if that's a factor.

Yeah, the hate factor typically isn't THE reason. That's why I placed those two as "on the fence."
When a coach loses his locker room the way Del Rio did though, that's a big problem going forward.

As for Lewis, I forgot, Cincy is basically the Detroit Lions of the AFC, with the Brown family playing the role of the Ford family.

4-11-1 and stuck in reverse? That's typically enough to get a pink slip.

But not in Cincy, where poor ownership has hampered this franchise for a long time.

At least the NFL does not fire their head coaches as rapidly as the NBA. For the '08-'09 season, 20% of their coaches have already been fired and they haven't even reached the season mid-point yet!

OK esoxx

Caught ya using logic,

Don't ever do that again.

[digitaldean]

You think Shanahan may get added to the list??

The Broncos had a 3 game lead with 3 to play and they choked it off.

The deciding game tonight in SD shows the Chargers laying a can of whoopass on them. 38-13 as of this post.

I'd say the Teflon Don of the AFC West might just be going bye-bye.

If Marvin Lewis does get fired the Packers should throw the kitchen sink at him to become the new defensive coordinator. Romeo Crennel Would also be a nice option. I also would go after Marinelli to boost the defense, but Lewis would be my first choice.

[texaspackerbacker]

I'd bet big against any of these guys coming to Green Bay.

I doubt Phillips gets fired or Lewis or Haslett. Mangini IMO, is better than 50/50 to stay. Jauron and Del Rio get definite maybes. The rest likely will get the ax.

mangini and marenelli are both out of work this morning

[sheepshead]

Anyone think Lovie Smith is in trouble?

[Zool]

I doubt it. They kept Jauron around for what, 4 seasons?

[swede]

Anyone think Lovie Smith is in trouble?

According to Lovie, the playoffs and the Superbowl don't matter.

For the Bears, beating the Packers matters.

He's safe for three years imo because he has managed to beat the Packers more than Wannie and Jauron ever could. Jauron went 13-3 with the Bears in 2001 and still lost to the Packers twice which was good enough to get him fired after losing big the subsequent year.
