Black Monday fellas. Cant say I didnt see all of those. I thought that no one was safe out of those coaches.

I was surprised Garrett didnt get the axe though and Rex Ryan

Jerry couldn't fire Garret with Romo hurt and the Jets played much better then most thought they would.

Yeah I get that. I still thought them missing the playoffs would warrant a change in Big D. The Rex Ryan situation is far worst than many think. Living in NY I know alot of people here wanted him gone last year when they fired Mike Tannenbaum. I think Rex hasnt had alot of talent to work with on offense, and has got alot more than was expected out of a 4-12 team.

I think Ryan did a decent job with the Jets considering starting a rookie QB and their offensive woes. His team didn't quit and continued to play hard. The best coaching opportunity would be the Lions. The next coach needs to have them play smarter and have more discipline.

I agree they have talent. I think Schwartz was an idiot, and no one respected him.

Schefter is reporting that Lovie Smith is on Tampa's radar.

Ian Rapoport:

#Browns are pushing to interview #Patriots OC Josh McDaniels, per source. First opportunity would be Jan. 5. Nothing firm set up yet.

I can see Whisenhut getting another chance....

there's so many openings right now...

I wonder if Kubiak will get another look? maybe a place like Detroit?

Yeah I believe that was the initial feeling around here(tri state)... miss the playoffs and bye bye Rex...

However I believe that was under an assumption of a poorous record with minimal progress...

8-8, rookie QB and respectable defense... Rex earned another crack IMO...

Ian Rapoport:

Impending hire of Jeff Tedford long been discussed internally by Lovie Smith and those close to him. A slam dunk (@JasonPhilCole 1st said)

Good. Go ahead and hire the both of them anybody.

NFL - Baylor's Art Briles, Seattle's Darrell Bevell among top candidates for Washington job - ESPN

Albert Breer:

Per source, Adam Gase has made it clear he'd prefer to wait til after Denver's playoff run to interview for jobs. We'll see if that changes.

Rick Stroud:

Former Bears coach Lovie Smith will be considered for several coaching openings but those close to him say he's very interested in Bucs job.

Schefter reported that he's the favorite for the Bucs job. Jerry Angelo, who hired Lovie Smith in Chicago, spent 14 years as the Bucs director of player personnel and reportedly could join Lovie Smith there as well.

Ian Rapoport:

#Browns already have their first head coaching candidate lined up: #Seahawks DC Dan Quinn. Rising star.

If you were unaware, Quinn also spent time with the 49ers. 2001-02 he was a D-quality control coach and in 2003-04 he coached the DL.

Ian Rapoport is also reporting that Bob Stoops is open to moving to the NFL.

Albert Breer:

1 breaking point for Browns: I'm told a couple weeks back, Chud was told to cut a player (re: accountability) to send a message. He refused.

Jason La Canfora:

Once Josh McDaniels interviews for the Browns job, again, I'll have a helluva time thinking someone else gets it
