The *this coach* has been fired thread

[jeffro151]

he will have a job next season as at least D coordinator if he wants it.

I'd put money on Lovie Smith being the next coach for Kansas City.

The O-line has been sub-par for 4 years now. Martz seemed to have found a way around last season until Cutler and Forte both went down. It was the best the offense had looked since Grossman's MIRACLE start to the 2006 season. I don't understand why Martz was let go. I feel it ultimately cost Lovie his job.

I read that Kreutz was on record as saying that Tice intentionally sabotaged Martz by calling the wrong line-plays.

Possible candidates for Browns HC are Chip Kelly, Bill O'Brien, Josh McDaniels (please no), and Nick Saban (rumors).

 

[jeffro151]

Norv Turner has gotten the ax in Whale's Vagina.

 

[jeffro151]

Cardinals fire Whisenhunt and GM Graves.

 

[jeffro151]

To summarize so far:

Bears fire Lovie Smith
Bills fire Chan Gailey
Browns fire Pat Shurmur & GM Heckert
Cardinals fire Ken Whisenhunt & GM Graves
Chargers fire Norv Turner & GM Smith
Chiefs fire Romeo Crennel
Eagles fire Andy Reid
Jets fire GM Tannenbaum

 

[OregonDucks]

Rumor is Browns are offering Chip Kelly GM control along with HC.

 

[Golden Spur]

Mixed reports on Ron Rivera - I'm now hearing he might come back. But I'm guessing tomorrow is going to be Bloody Monday.

So far:

Andy Reid (Eagles)

Pat Shurmur, Tom Heckert (HC, GM, Browns)

Lovie Smith (Bears)

Romeo Crennel (Chiefs)

Chan Gailey (Buffalo)

Mike Tannenbaum (GM, Jets)

Norv Turner, A.J. Smith (HC, GM, Chargers)

Ken Whisenhunt, Rod Graves

I bet out of those 8. 5 of them are head coaches next year on another NFL team and the other 3 are Coordinators.

I'm skeptical about Turner, in that prediction.

 

[OregonDucks]

I guess of those 7, didn't notice the GM in there.

There's talk that Nove could become the Cowboys O.C..

Bruce Ariens is a candidate for the Chargers head coaching position, while there's talk that assistant GM Jimmy Raye could becme the GM. No talk of Andy Reid in S.D..

I've heard that Norv could head to Indy to be the OC, should Arians get a HC job.

I think Jon Gruden either goes to S.D. or Philly, maybe the Browns.

I will be very surprised if Gruden ends up in San Diego.

 

[Tubbs1518]

There is still a lot of talent there, and rumor is those are the 2 main jobs he is interested in.

I will be very surprised if Gruden ends up in San Diego.

Take this FWIW: Ex-Raiders, Bucs coach Gruden to interview for open NFL jobs - CBSSports.com

Despite public protestations he's happy in his current position as a television analyst, Jon Gruden will interview with NFL teams for their head coaching position, according to people with knowledge of the situation.

Over the past few weeks, teams have quietly contacted Gruden and/or his representatives to gauge Gruden's interest. In response, Gruden and/or his representatives informed teams Gruden would speak to them once the regular season ended.

Well, the regular season has ended, and Gruden will begin talking to those teams maybe as early as Monday. Gruden is currently an analyst for ESPN and has said publicly he will stay at the network.

However, privately, the Gruden camp has acted differently, and let it be known the former coach is interested in returning to the NFL. This doesn't mean he will return. This means he's interested in doing so if the right job opens up.

Two teams to pay close attention to regarding Gruden are Philadelphia and San Diego (although the Chargers might focus on a younger coach).

We shall see, but I doubt he ends up in S.D.. I'll be disappointed if he is. I've never thought much of Gruden as a coach. He took over a team that was absolutely loaded & won a Super Bowl. After that he played musical QB's. He once had something like 5 QB's on the roster. If Gruden is the next Chargers coach they're on the road to nowhere yet again.

 

[OregonDucks]

I'd love to see Gruden get a HC job as it would get him off as a boring analyst.
