reddogblitz Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 But I will stick to my original comment he wasn't fired, he walked away as he was informed he would not be back for the following season. He didn't want tocoach as a lamb duck, so walked away, I'm curious as to your source on this. My recollection was that he was fired. An internet search found articles saying he was fired. This is the first I've heard otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dean Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 I'm curious as to your source on this. My recollection was that he was fired. An internet search found articles saying he was fired. This is the first I've heard otherwise. I believe he was indeed fired. At least officially. It is possible he was unhappy and asked to be fired (so he could still be paid) but this is the first I'm hearing of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Adam Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 With Golden Tate now claiming opposing defenses know the plays the Lions are running, I vote Caldwell. If true, they have reached a level of damage that can only be repaired by wiping the entire coaching staff clean and starting fresh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punching Bag Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 I wouldn't put it past the Pegula's to pay Roman head coach money to keep him one more year. The selling points: HC money for OC responsibilities - offer to inherit Rex's team if he retires after a THE Super Bowl 51 Repeat! If the situation Roman is inheriting is not good, why go there? Why not wait one more year for a good situation? Think if Pettine had waited for a different situation like Atlanta or even Oakland. A lot can change in a year. Desperately diving into a head coaching job can actually be a bad way to go. You certainly want to go where a reasonable QB situation already exists. One scenario that would scare me: Indianapolis - Luck with Roman would be a tough matchup every time out. Rex is not going to retire after 1 season even if Bills win next 4 Superbowls. Best he could hope for is co-head coach with Bills like some teams do w/coordinators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truth on hold Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 (edited) Every year about a half dozen seem to go, so many/most that have been mentioned plus a surprise or two. I'd say top 3 candidates are: Philbin, team hasn't gone anywhere with him, major scandal on his watch, he has no signature style or philosophy, add that to this year's high priced roster and he's toast unless they make playoffs Fischer, still riding the fumes of that one super bowl appearance a whopping 15 years ago. This one will be his last Pettine, adds nothing, took a roster that seemingly had only one way to go which was up, and still somehow found a way to make them worse Edited September 30, 2015 by JTSP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machine gun kelly Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 The Browns fired a coach after one year so I doubt they will fire Pettine in two. He lasts one more year if they can get to 8-8. Philbin on the other hand is done after this year as they missed the playoffs for three years. No progress and Ross wants to fill the stadium. The Bills loss was an embarrassment to that team. Caldwell should last another year as he was able to get 11 wins last year and was very competitive. He may have to fire a coordinator to save himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Thinking about this a bit more, I have to say I agree with the Jeff Fisher comments. The guy is treated like he's Lombardi but he hasn't done stojan in St. Louis. They give Seattle fits but look terrible against mediocre teams. If he isn't on the hot seat he should be.

Dorkington Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Whaley is going to go full Rogue and fire Rex in the middle of the Jags game, while we still only have 1 loss. He'll also then release EJ, and trade Mario for Skelton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatsFanNH Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Either Philbin or Pagano. Both teams are UBER under achieving. I want Philbin to stay but my gutt says he is first to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dean Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Rex is not going to retire after 1 season even if Bills win next 4 Superbowls. Best he could hope for is co-head coach with Bills like some teams do w/coordinators. If the Bills win 4 Superbowls (sic) in ONE season, Rex should retire. I mean, c'mon. Winning 4 Super Bowls in one season is an accomplishment that is hard to top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winning 4 Super Bowls in one season is an accomplishment that is hard to top. Completely doable. I've already won 5 superbowls in madden during this nfl season.

Kirby Jackson Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 IMONo, his family lives in Dallas. He came up with the Cowboys. In fact, when he was trying to keep his marriage together he was living in Dallas and commuting in!! If he hit the market then Garrett would be shown the door and Payton would be handed the keys.

Kirby Jackson Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Oh yeah, Sean Peyton's on shaky ground in the big easy right now. It is weird though because Benson is INCREDIBLY loyal to some people. He has some of the most incompetent people that I have ever seen running different departments (not referring to Payton or Loomis). These guys have been terrible at their jobs for years and given a free pass. I will be really, really surprised if they fire Payton. Common sense says that the heat turns up on Loomis soon but I don't think that it will knowing that organization. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result (and Tom Benson has already had to go to court to see if he is sane).
