With today's firing of Mularkey in Jacksonville, 8 coaches have been fired this year.

Only 9 coaches have been with their current team for 5+ years, since the start of the 2008 season. Can you name them?

Interesting to think that a guy hired 5 years ago now has seniority over 75% of the other coaches in the NFL.

Got 8 out of 9. Missed

Mike Smith. I had Garrett as the 9th but had a strong feeling it wasn't right. Lewis was probably the 7th or 8th guy I got. In hindsight, I knew he was there for 5+ years but can't believe he's been there since 2003.

 

[Spin]

I got 8 of 9 as well.

I had ARI, guess it just slipped my mind that Whisenhunt was recently fired.

One I missed:

2006

Payton - I figured with his being terminated / suspended for last year he wouldn't be eligible.

Got them all, but was debating between Schwartz and Smith for the last one.Also didn't realize that Kubiak is in his 7th year already.

Interesting that the last ones correspond with drafting a certain position. Their fates may be more tied to those players long term.

interesting tidbit that three of them are in the same division. I actually forgot one of the nine was a head coach anywhere.

 

[FUBAR]

Interesting that 5 out of 9 are still alive in the playoffs. Not a coincidence. Of course the other 4 have had a good amount of success too.
