[Texasmouth]

Frazier- I think he keeps the job for sure. He will be a hot candidate for other jobs if he doesnt.

Coughlin- May be too hard to pass on Cowah for the Giants. Cowah is a perfect fit for this job. Coughlin is a great coach but he may have just been there too long

Singletary- Never should have been a head coach in teh first place. Wasnt qualified. Still isnt. Should go to college and coach. His demeanor would be perfect for the college game.

Fox in Carolina- Done for sure. Wont be out of work long in my opinion. That team is a complete 100% rebuild. I believe that Harbaugh will be the coach there.

Sparano in Miami- This was a Parcells guy. Parcells is no longer there. Would be shocked if Sporano finishes the season.

Mangini in cleveland- I dont think Holmgren ever planned for Mangini to be the coach. He gave him his shot. He didnt win. He will be gone. Gruden seems like the logical choice but there is a ton of competition for his services.

Marvin Lewis in Cincy- Done. Without question done. He has been there too long. Needs a change of scenary. Bengals need a change as well.

Kubiak in Houston- No possible way they can keep him. He has had year after year to get this right and still hasnt. Rumors of Cowah coming to Texas seem strange to me. Wouldnt be at all surprised to see Jeff Fisher consider this job.

Studsteville in Denver- Zero percent chance that he keeps this job. He knows it. Denver knows it. Done.

Turner in Sandiego? This was a huge collapse and if I were the owner, AJ Smith would be fired right before Norv.

Fisher- If he is fired or resigns or whatever, I believe he will be on the radar of almost every team with an opening, including Dallas.

Redheaded Jesus in Dallas- If Jerry Jones really wanted this guy to be head coach, why isnt he? He could have done it already. I dont think that Garrett has blown Jerry away with a 4-3 record and two losses that shouldn't have happened. I was really rooting for him but I just dont know. He will definitely have to bring in a new defensive staff and some new players, the current ones suck.

I think all of these jobs are dependent on two men...Gruden and Cowah.

I have seen every single job with these two guys linked to it.

 

[hook014]

Am I the only man in America who thinks Kubiak should keep his job?

They need a lot of help on defense but his offense is pretty darn good. A lot of close losses shouldnt doom a good coach. I think if they fire him its a step back. If he's there next year I could easily see them as a playoff team.

 

[TheWheel]

I don't think John Fox loses his job. He's been there a while and the defense isn't that bad. The offense has killed them. A good draft and they can compete in a couple years.

I don't know about Jeff Fisher. I don't think they can get a better guy in there and VY and him can get over there issues.

I don't think singletary should be fired for a terrible QB he didn't pick up.

Idk what the Bengals are going to do. Something futile.

I think Cowher ends up in Miami. Sparano will get with the Cowboys. Garrett will go back to coordinator.

I'm really really hoping Urban Meyer coaches the Denver Broncos. They'd become huge in Utah (idk anything about Utahs pro allegiance now....) and Tebow and Meyer together again.

Mangini is sticking around. Holmgren will give him a chance with Colt McCoy having a year under his belt. This team has competed with a really average lb corps.

I could see Kubiak getting another shot as well. His defensive coordinator needs to go at least.

Coughlin won't be fired. The Giants are too good for him to be fired. Even if they miss the playoffs they'll be favorites next year.

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

Del Rio has to be back on the hot seat after suffering late season collapses in back-to-back years.

My impression here in Northeast Ohio is that Mangini is as good as gone.

I think San Diego pretty much has to fire Turner after today. They fired Marty after a much better year than this one.

 

[crowe1130]

Frazier - In, and succeeds.

Coughlin - Survives.

Singletary - Already gone.

Fox - Out.

Mangini - Hangs on.

Marvin Lewis - Dismissed.

Kubiak - Ousted.

Turner - Replaced.

Fisher - Out.

Sparano - Gone.

Garrett - Back to OC.

Frazier - In, and succeeds.Coughlin - Survives.Singletary - Already gone.Fox - Out.Mangini - Hangs on.Marvin Lewis - Dismissed.Kubiak - Ousted.Turner - Replaced.Fisher - Out.Sparano - Gone.Garrett - Back to OC.

I too think Coughlin will get another year. He did win the SB 3 years ago; I know, an eternity in the NFL, but he should be given another year.What established coach would take the job in Cleveland? The Walrus may have someone in mind but it isn't inconceivable that Mangini hangs in there for another year while this team continues to re-build.Brown is too cheap to bring in another coach. Because of this Lewis may survive.Turner is in over his head. Time for him to move on. There are a number of teams with developing QB's that would love to have this guy as their OC.Fischer will be a head coach for another team next year; likely highly sought after.I agree that Sporano should go.If Jerry isn't going to make Garrett the HC he should not retain him and he would likely want to leave any way. He could end up as a HC somewhere else. With all the presumed movement on this board he may be one of the last men standing for an open position.DelRio has to go.

I think San Diego pretty much has to fire Turner after today. They fired Marty after a much better year than this one.

I've been hoping that they boot JDR. For someone that is supposed to be defensive minded, his defense is putrid. And his offense is bland and predictable. They have won this year with smoke and mirrors. They are not playoff caliber and are starting to show their true colors. Losing to a Rex Grossman led 'Skins team at home? WOW! Garrard is agonizingly inconsistent and the team has taken on that personna as well. It is time for JDR to move on and get some new blood in there. He can take Garrard with him too.

I am shocked that San Diego did as well as they did. With the injuries and the self inflicted wounds by AJ Smith I was actually impressed with Turner's team. Marty was fired because he and AJ didn't get along and Marty had never won a playoff game. If AJ stays, I bet Turners stays as well.

Keep Kubiak and bring in Singletary today as the new DC

 

[Gatorman]

If kubiak loses his job he is welcome to be the HC in Miami (as long as nolan stays on as the DC).

 

[Insein]

I see the potential for up to 15 head coaching changes.

NYG: Coughlin blows another late season lead, that might be all she wrote regardless of the Bowl.

Dallas: Will JJ have enough faith?

Minny: Leslie is not the answer.

Carolina: Fox has run his course but will find another head coaching job somewhere.

San Fran: It was time. Gotta have winners.

Arizona: How much was Whissenhunt and how much was the luck of having Kurt Warner?

Miami: 1-7 at home. Nough said.

Buffalo: Probably not since the Bills showed some fight but who knows up there.

Cleveland: Good fight till about 4 weeks ago. Its been bad since. I'm sure holmgren wants his guy in there.

Cincy: 8 years, 2 winning seasons, 2 Division titles, 0 playoff wins. Its over, Marv.

Jax: A great season out of nowhere but can't close the deal. May have earned another season.

Tenn: Fischer is an institution there but the owner may be tired of the mediocrity.

Houston: Kubiak did some nice things but never got this team over.

San Diego: I think Norv's comeback act will wear too thin this time.

Denver: What a disaster.

AJ Smith needs to go. When you purposely put less than you best out on the field, and your team comes up just barely short at season's end, how were your decisions not the difference? I mean, the whole "let's suspend VJax for three games after he comes back" really seemed to bite him in the ###, since EVERY receiver on their roster was hurt when VJax could have been playing.

 

[Ghost Rider]

I think Fox and Marvin Lewis are both gimmes to getting fired.

I don't think Tom Coughlin will survive a second straight December collapse.

I think Whisenhunt is safe. Their terrible QB situation this year basically gave him a pass.

Not sure about Del Rio or Sparano. I could see either getting fired or being retained.

Norv should be gone, but they might be stuck with him because of that contract extension.

I suspect Kubiak will be told to make some major changes in order to stay.

Fisher should be done in Tennessee.

I think Dallas will retain Garrett. No idea about the other current interims.

I'm pretty sure V-Jax was suspended due to league rules.

No, he was suspended an extra three games because of AJ Smith's decision to place him on the roster exempt list. SD basically decided to suspend him an EXTRA three games on their own.

 

[Bri]

I don't think there's too much of a market for new coaches.

Cowher of course and he can pretty much boot anybody mentioned in this thread.

Fisher is better than most mentioned. I don't see Adams getting rid of Fisher. I sure don't see him getting rid of Fisher without a good plan. Most have said how Schwartz and Singletary had QB woes and all, but no one seems to notice Fisher's. Rusty Smith started this year. Everyone wants to bring up Young's tantrum but forgets he's on IR and would not be playing. I can see Fisher staying with a warning moreso than being canned. Cowher should consider TEN because it clearly is a place a coach can make a home at and not be looking for a new job in three years. Their DL and OL coach are awesome and...that's the only guy I see booting Fisher here.

BP, Jimmy Johnson and a handful of others would naturally alter things here, but it just feels like a pipe dream or somesuch with those guys. A team that is curiously bad but has a bunch of talent, like San Diego, is about all I can see BP doing. A year or two, in N out. (Previous thread while ago) Still think he's bringing Al Groh with him.

I have been whining about Jim Fassel asking folks why he's no longer coaching, hasn't been given another chance etc. It IS possible he is coaching again.

Mike Martz wants to coach and it seems like a tired act.

I don't have a prob with Kubiak. He just needs more and better players. Some Texans fans don't recall what it was like before him I guess.

Norv Turner is a very good OC. Does he do that role elsewhere? Then if I were an owner, I'd be hiring a defensive minded coach. Geesh was Marvin Lewis an excellent DC. Is he doing that role somewhere? I imagine Singletary would be a fine, if not top, DC.

See the silly pipe dreams of guys like Jimmy Johnson and Bill Parcells (and Cowher?) start to seem like oh "wait a sec, maybe" when you consider that they could field an awesome staff with those listed above. However, back to the point sorry for the ramble, I don't see a whole slew of available coaches whose prior success demands a chance to be a head coach.

There's a domino effect here that's going to have to take place.

Whis created that situation. As bad as Leinart had shown, there's no way this team is that bad with him at QB. In fact, I'd say they would have gone 8-8 and won this terrible division with Leinart.

I have seen every single job with these two guys linked to it.

I question this thinking when it comes to coaches, at least in terms of the guy being a good coach but needing to move on. If he's a good coach, then he's a good coach and he just needs more time. It's a cerebral job, not one where diminishing arm strength causes diminishing production and forces you to the sideline. What does Coughlin need to learn at this point in his career that he's hasn't learned already? Or could it be that he has players on the roster that aren't as good as he's had in past years? Could it be things like the business side of it that actually dictate the makeup of any team and the coach is simply trying to do his best with what he's got?

Either Coughlin has what it takes to coach up a team or he doesn't. Or, his heart isn't in it and thus his effort or concentration are waning. But both of those things I would count as counterpoints to the argument that he's a good coach. I'd see them as evidence that he isn't actually that great a coach.

 

[JamesTheScot]

Which coaches go after this year?

Does Frazier keep the job in Minny? probably This one I am 50-50 on. The bigger question for me is whether Chilly was fired because of non-performance or because ownership felt they had to pick sides in a mutiny? In other words, who is really running the show up there?

Does Coughlin keep the job when he does not make the playoffs? I think he does. But it won't be a fun year. The knives will be out before the season starts and every bump in the road will bring demands for his head.

Singletary seems to be on his way out already....

Fox in Carolina should be gone. Yes. This is one of those situations where the team has regressed despite having some respectable talent. He's an enigma to me. So highly respected by everyone in the biz but so reviled by fans. As a DeAngelo owner, I've certainly had him pegged as an idiot. But what do I really know about it anyway?

Sparano in Miami? I think he gets one more year. I think they give him a chance to be his own man for an offseason and one more year.

Mangini in Cleveland? Not sure. I think it depends on where Holmgren sees the team in terms of competitiveness. If he thinks this team can challenge the Ravens and Steelers very soon, he brings in his own guy. If he thinks they are still a couple of years away, he tries to put another difficult year on Mangini's resume instead of on his own guy.

Marvin Lewis in Cincy? He's been there long enough with little enough success. They'll cut bait. Probably ineptly. Which means more of the same. Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss.

Kubiak in Houston? I don't think there are any more necks between his and the chopping block. I think he goes. Though I think he just needs some help on the defensive side. Whether he's the best guy to make that hiring or not, your guess is as good as mine. At some point the guy that hired the guy gets the axe too.

Studsteville in Denver? Wouldn't surprise me to see him go after this season. But I also thought his hiring was too gutsy a move at the time to not also have a very long leash attached to it. Did he hire on with ownership expecting a mult-year rebuild?

Turner in Sandiego? I also think this one is tied to AJ. If AJ stays, so does Turner. I think they mark 2010 up as a remodeling/transition year. V.Jackson on his way out, LT out, new rookie RB in, some coming moves on defense, all the WR injuries. Plenty to put at someone else's door other than Turner's.

You can have him. We already took a step back from 9-7 to 5-10 so far. The defense is awful because of him. Rick Smith was inserted at GM to appease Kubiak, and Richard Smith/Frank Bush have been disasters at Def. Coordinator. Those were also Kubiak choices. Their brilliant personnel moves have left us with a defense whose multiple street free agents are better than the 1st round picks. The team routinely plays one half of football, and his clock management/challenge usage leave plenty to be desired. He's had enough time. The division was there for the taking this year and we blew it, because that's what Kubiak teams do. Since we started 4-2, we've gone 1-8. That lone win was against Future Hall of Famer Rusty Smith of the Titans. He may be a good Off. Coordinator but he's proven to be overmatched at Head Coach. Adding Singletary would just be a band aid. Both the team and coach need a change of scenery...

 

[ffchamp1]

Which coaches go after this year?

Does Frazier keep the job in Minny? I doubt they can lure a big name coach in at this point. Frazier may be a stopgap until Minny moves to LA

Does Coughlin keep the job when he does not make the playoffs? If they do not make the playoffs, he will be fired.

Singletary seems to be on his way out already....GONE

Fox in Carolina should be gone....Will be gone but shouldn't be out of work long. I would look for him to land a new gig right away

Sparano in Miami??? I dunno about him. MIA has underwhelmed me to this point and I don't see Henne or that backfield being around all that much longer.

Mangini in cleveland? He get's one more year or until Holmgren decides to go downstairs

marvin Lewis in cincy??? Unsure about this, he has done nothing yet has kept his job this long.

Kubiak in Houston?? This is a good coach who I would bet lands in DEN if fired by HOU. First order of business for him is to find a great DC

Studsteville in Denver??? Who

Turner in Sandiego? Already been told he is staying, he gets another year. As a local here, this season is on AJ, not Norv and I am not a Norv fan.

DAL- Garrett needs to go and take that backfield with him.

I will throw this out there now, Harbaugh and Luck are not a tandem. Harbaugh knows you need to win now and Luck is not as NFL ready as Harbaugh is. I don't know their picks but take the #1, lock in the next great WR and then move a 2nd rounder for Kolb in Philly.

I would love for Harbaugh to stay at Stanford but if he goes, I don't want Michigan, I want the pro's and as much as I would like to see EJ Green in CAR with him, they need to win now and Green is a better bet than Luck.

 

[Bri]

Gruden couldn't teach Michael Clayton how to read on read routes. Guy shouldn't be an NFL coach. He had a 1300 yard rookie WR and years to teach him that. Coaches are teachers first, even at the NFL level.

 

[5-ish Finkle]

I don't think Lewis is a gimme to get canned at all. He SHOULD be, but his owner is epically cheap. Only way he goes is if it's possible for Mike Brown to fire him without eating any money, then find a replacement that's willing to work for less.

I have no idea how much Marv is still owed, but if it is significant Mike Brown is totally cheap enough to keep him around just for that reason.

 

[Tom Servo]

Kubiak in Houston? I don't think there are any more necks between his and the chopping block. I think he goes. Though I think he just needs some help on the defensive side.

The Bengals still used what some mockingly called a Paul Brown system where the coaches and assistant coaches actually went and scouted players. Marvin Lewis insisted they create/employ a staff of scouts and all before getting hired. Their owner couldn't be cheaper. Oddly enough, their drafts weren't that bad and since most NFL drafts for most teams aren't super productive, they fared similarly well in drafts by having the coaches do it all. I don't know if this was lucky. If it was that reports like we find on the web (and from Waldman) are enough for them. I'm not sure where the grey area is here with several picks NOT becoming quality good NFL players for every team, but....if Lewis goes, their scouting staff could go too. That cheap owner could reason it out as he hired them for Lewis and that his drafts still don't automatically give him 7 quality players and...that could be ugly and an interesting sidenote if Lewis is gone.

Adding Singletary would just be a band aid. Both the team and coach need a change of scenery...

Kubiak has put together a team that can play very good offense. The inconsistency of the offense is very troubling, however. Either he is not motivating the players, which is why they have played so poorly in the first half, or he is not drawing up good game plans, and has only had success when the team has fallen behind and the other team is playing prevent defense. Either way, regardless of the defensive problems, this concerns me about Kubiak. Add in the defensive problems, which he as head coach is responsible for, and I think he needs to go.I think the Texans could be a playoff team if Kubiak stayed as head coach and they brought in the best DC currently not on a team, but Kubiak hasn't shown me enough that he knows what to do to beat good teams. I also don't trust who he would bring in as DC based on his record of hiring.
