    Coaches On The Hot/Warm Seat

    Denver - Nathaniel Hackett has been fired.

    Las Vegas - Josh McDaniels is 6-9 with a team that finished 10-7 and made the playoffs under Rich Bisaccia. Acquiring Davante Adams has not made Derek Carr better. This seat is probably warm.

    Cleveland - Kevin Stefanski has gone 11-5, 8-9 and now 6-9 with Cleveland. Browns tend to go through head coaches pretty quickly. Seat is probably pretty hot.

    Indianapolis - Jeff Saturday replaced Frank Reich mid-season and has gone 1-4. This seat is on fire.

    Houston - Lovie Smith took over the worst team in football and has kept them there. Hard to blame him for the situation. However, it's a terrible organization, so they might scapegoat him. Seat may be warm.

    Tampa Bay - Todd Bowles is probably safe here as it is his 1st year as HC. Sill, if they fail to make playoffs, seat could be slightly warm.

    Carolina - Steve Wilks has gone 5-5 after taking over after team started 1-4. He probably deserves to be retained, but any interim coach has to at least be considered to be on warm seat.

    Atlanta - Arthur Smith is 12-20 in 2 seasons. Team may want to see what he can do with an improved QB situation. Seat is probably warm/hot.

    Arizona - Kliff Kingsbury is 4-11 in his 4th season. Team is 8-17 since starting out 7-0 in 2021. His teams always fade 2nd half of season. Seat is on fire.

    Green Bay - Matt LeFleur's seat is as if he just poofed a lukewarm fart in it.

    Good list, Joe. Seems spot on to me, though I don't follow things like I used to.

        Source: Broncos first offered interim HC job to Ejiro Evero. He declined. He's going to be a HC candidate this offseason. Preferred to stay with defense. Rosburg then made sense as he can oversee entire operation while coordinators run each phase. #9sports
        Broncos are a mess right now. Wilson's contract likely means they're stuck with him through 2024. And they don't have a 1st or 2nd round pick in 2023. Not a real attractive job right now.

          I heard Rodgers is likely to be fired as offensive coordinator. Team is trying to work out if he will except lesser role of quarterback at the same pay.

            But are they going to release Rodgers of his GM1 duties or will he still own Gutebag ?

              Lots of speculation that Hackett was hired during the timeframe when Denver was trying to lure ARod to the mile high city (Making Mad real happy). Rodgers turned Denver down, so they made the silly ass deal for Russ W. This left them with a mortgaged future and a rookie head coach who was clueless. Hackett made such a botch of a job it will take him years to clear up his reputation.

              Hackett couldn't keep up with the head coaching duties to the extent that they had to hire a special assistant to keep track of the play clock. That assistant, Jerry Rosburg, is now Hackett's replacement. It will take a few seasons to fix this fuck-up in Denver.

                Hackett had that deer in the headlights look very early on. Must have been a painful season for him. I think he's a pretty good offensive mind though. He'll land on his feet.

                  I hated the hackett hiring here for the simple reason that Blake Bortles regressed every year Hackett was his signal caller until he ultimately was out of the league. From AFCC game to out of football in about 3 years. Hackett ain't his old man.

                    Hackett has connections and in the NFL that means he will land a job in a year or two. Either way, he'll still be getting paid by Denver.
                    Going from an OC who didn't call the plays to being the HC is a pretty big jump.

                    Also, Russell Wilson is barking mad most days.

                      Hackett really flamed out. I was always trying to figure out what piece of our offense he contributed. That's hard to figure and now I'll never know. He is in an excellent club now. 1st year coaches that didn't survive the initial NFL season.

                      Here's the others:

                      Jets coach Lou Holtz 1976 Holtz was in so far over his head it was ridiculous. He quit ahead of being canned with one game to go in '76. Lou's big contribution to the Jet's was writing a fight song and trying to get the players to sing it. Joe Namath refuses to comment on his time with Holtz as his HC.
                      49ers coach Pete McCulley in 1978 Pete didn't win but 1 game in '78. Fired before the 10th game, him and interim coach Fred O'Conner are the answer to the trivia question of who coached the Niners before Bill Walsh got there.
                      Falcons coach Bobby Petrino in 2007 famously quit before being canned, but also to take the Arkansas job back in college where he belonged
                      Jaguars coach Urban Meyer in 2021 Always liked the video of that college girl dancing on his hog by the jukebox.

                        Aside from Jimmy Johnson, I can't think of many college coaches who successfully made the jump to the pros and survived.
                        Pete Carroll coached in the pros before USC so he doesn't count, and I'm not sure I'd call Chip Kelly a success. Not Steve Spurrier. Maybe Insufferable Jim Harbaugh? There aren't many that come to mind in the last 30 years.

                        It's a different environment, the coaching that works in one won't necessarily work in the other.

                          How about Barry Switzer?
                          What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?

                            Can't blame Denver's whole shitty season on him. By most accounts Russell Wilson is more of a diva than Favre and Rodgers put together.

                              Good question.
                              I don't think he did anything innovative or considered in the same class as other successful pro coaches of the day.
                              I will say Switzer was a good coach on the college level.

                              He inherited a roster that included Aikman, E.Smith, Irvin, Novacek, an incredible OL of E.Williams, Tuinei, Stepnoski, Newton and Allen; Lett, Haley, D.Woodson, and a host of other good players on defense as well. It was a deep and talented roster that had been to the previous 2 Super Bowls.

                              I've always thought Switzer inherited Jimmy's roster and basically let that team coach itself. He lasted 4 seasons, the last of which he lost his last 5 games, had to deal with off-field incidents, infighting with an aging Aikman, etc. He lost in the NFCCG his 1st year, then the super bowl, then went 16-16 (10-6 and 6-10) his last two. That team was not trending in the right direction.

                              Not that Chan Gailey was any better.

                              I don't think people thought Switzer was what made those Cowboys teams so good; it was the roster Jimmy built.
