Black Monday Thread

[Smalls]

Many expected Andy Reid, Pat Shurmur, Romeo Crennel, Chan Gailey to lose their jobs, I think.

The Bears just fired Lovie, which I was surprised by. Their last two seasons fell apart, but I thought injuries played a huge role both times. I guess that's not enough to save a job.

I see Lovie Smith is the latest to get his pink slip this morning.

Matt Miller:

Lovie Smith to Kansas City would be a pretty damn good hire and fit if he can get a strong offensive coordinator in place.

#Bengals and #49ers can expect heavy losses of assistant coaches this year...if they don't make a Super Bowl run.

Matt Maiocco:

Bears, Bills, Chiefs, Eagles and Browns have reportedly fired their coaches. 49ers assistants Roman & Fangio can interview during bye week.

And the Harbaugh coaching tree takes root

I hope they keep Fangio but if Roman leaves its no big deal. If he does, I'd go after Norv Turner.

They don't run the same offense. I'm sure Harbaugh would go get one of his guys.

I think the likely departed Alex Smith would vomit in his mouth if this happened.

 

[Dodub]

I'm really bothered by the Lovie Smith firing. The guy went 10-6 in possibly the hardest division in football and gets fired for it? Meanwhile guys like Jason Garrett, Rex Ryan, Mike Mularkey and whoever the hell coaches the Raiders these days all get to keep their jobs (so far). It just doesn't make sense.

Love it KC would be cool as long as he got Norv as his OC.

If KC got Smith and Norv, they would be sitting pretty.

 

[Dodub]

If KC got Smith and Norv, they would be sitting pretty.

They'd be pretty dangerous there but they would need to get a new QB, that would be the main concern.

 

[TobyTyler]

They don't run the same offense. I'm sure Harbaugh would go get one of his guys.

Right now the offense is rudderless. I'm sure Harbaugh and Turner could coincide.

Ha ha! But you are right. I don't know his name. Probably couldn't even get it on a multiple choice question.

Good summary on the day's events so far.

Bills, Bears, Chargers, Chiefs, Browns, Eagles all fire head coaches | ProFootballTalk

Six HCs and four GMs already. Apparently the jobs of Whisenhunt, Mularkey and Rivera are still undecided. Part of me thinks that Jim Schwartz should be nervous, too. Sure, it was just one bad year, but you hear about the culture and lack of discipline a lot.
