Pink Slip Monday 2014

Other than about 3-4 seasons, that's all you get out of Fisher. He is highly regarded but an 8-8 coach.

Consistently getting a franchise as pathetic as the Titans to finish around .500 is nothing to turn your nose up at. The fact that he actually got to a Super Bowl and won a handful of division titles for an owner who never truly tried to win is borderline miraculous.

I like Fisher. He's got the Rams heading in the right direction. They just need a QB, and I'm not sure Bradford is the answer.

Tresteman Bears -- youre fired !

 

[BenGrimm]

Tom Coughlin is tough guy to fire. Not sure what all the problems in NY are but it's my understanding that they have major roster issues. Particularly the OL. It's hard to say a coach with 2 Super Bowl wins couldn't turn it around with some personnel upgrades.

On the other hand, he is getting up there in age. The stress of being an NFL HC isn't easy on someone pushing 70 years old.

Retained.

Falcons fire Smith

 

[Boston Vol]

Really surprised Tom Coughlin held onto his job

Like only 4 isn't it?

SF
CHI
NYJ
ATL

I guess 5 if you include the OAK coach being fired midseason.

He has won 2 Super Bowls. A lot of their problems has been an aging roster. I guess they tryst him to turn it around.

cant believe Sparano is still employed right now

He was an interim for the year after they fired Dennis Allen in September.

He never actually had to be "fired" at year's end as he wasn't ever officially hired as a full head coach; he was just temporarily given the position until they hired the next guy.

 

[MAD]

All these are bad decisions imo.

 

[volfanCLT]

Atl should go after Rex

 

[Falcons02]

Falcons fire Smith

Personally I think if only one of the two were gonna be fired in Atl it should've been Dimitroff before Smith.

 

[508mikey]

Atl should go after Rex

why - what did he do for the Jets ?

looks like they might keep him Report: Tony Sparano “squarely in the mix” for Raiders job | ProFootballTalk

I'd imagine he was talking about as a defensive coordinator.

[Vercingetorix]

Went to two AFC championship games with Mark Sanchez?

Went to two AFC championship games with Mark Sanchez?

While making homemade foot fetish videos no less. That's some extreme multitasking.

 

[TrueOrange]

Bills coach opts out of his contract after 2 years, so add that one.


Hopefully this and CHI don't start a "only giving coaches 2 years" kind of trend.

 

[TrueOrange]

Went to two AFC championship games with Mark Sanchez?

His offensive style is also heavily run oriented.

 

[YankeeVol]

He opted out, not the team.

Mike Shanahan apparently interviewed with the Raiders

 

[YankeeVol]

Rex Ryan is getting a 2nd interview with Buffalo
