Black Monday...who gets canned?

[H2o]

I think the Giants start over.....again. 

 

I think the Colts have seen enough. 

 

Pederson is probably done as a HC forever. Jax gives him the boot. 

 

The Raiders won't bring Pierce back. 

 

I think Tennessee gives their coach another year. I think Jerruh Jones, against better judgment, brings McCarthy back again.

It's pretty unclear. They keep intimating he's not medically ready, but when the Dolphins media pressed them on if he was "medically cleared" they were cagey on the answer. Tua said it wasn't his decision to not play.

makes no sense it’s like they are protecting him from a late season injury but we’re still in the playoff hunt

I think Daboll survives. Sticking with Jones was an ownership call

Yeah, but watch Daboll pull a 'Costanza'.  Try to get fired.  Driving around the Giants offices, dragging some trophy behind his truck. 😁

EDIT:  And just like Costanza, all so he can interview with the other NY team.

Can you just picture Rodgers plying some 'shrooms into Daboll to curb those unfortunate rageaholic episodes? 🤔😁

 I think Allen is our huge advantage but worry about mcds HC off being out coached at times , like last year by Peyton. At least it’s at home ; be interested in your thoughts about facing the broncos?  Happy holidays , belated ! 

 

Not really the thread to go into detail but I don't think it's an easy game. I think they have a good defense and Nix is playing pretty well. I'm not sure I think McDermott got outcoached as a head coach last year by Peyton but he did get outcoordinated as the DC. He is no longer in that role, but our defense under Babich does really worry me. If he comes out heavy blitzing and letting Nix win with his brain and recognition skills we could be in trouble. Gotta throw different coverage looks at him and keep him guessing. I take the Bills to win but a one score game wouldn't shock me.

Aaron Rogers, oh wait he just thinks he is the head coach

Dolphin fans are pretty irate about the whole thing. There's some suspicion by a group of their fans who think the Dolphins believed since the chances were so low that it was better to gamble on winning with Huntley so if they did end up making it.. Tua would be healthier.

Over on the Bengals forum, some want Zac Taylor fired.

He should be.  They are an attractive spot and Ben Johnson is sitting there.

 

Zac continues to not have his team ready to start the year, and then they fight back to either a wild card spot or missing the playoffs.  With Burrow as your coach there is no excuse

[gonzo1105]

I’m more curious to see how many GMs get canned. I know Joe Brady is the worry but I just don’t see a ton of openings this offseason and 2 for sure are going to go to Vrabel and Johnson. 

 

2 of our guys Terrance Gray and Malik Boyd appear ready for jobs even though Gray is much more likely. 
 

As for the topic at hand I’ll go with:

 

Pats- Mike Vrabel (former Titans HC)

Bears- Ben Johnson( Lions OC)

Jets-  Who the hell knows 

Saints- Aaron Glenn (Lions DC)

Jaguars- Liam Coen (Bucs OC) 

Sounds like Cowboys, Giants, Browns, Titans are sticking with their current guys

 

Raiders, Colts seem to be on the fence

I wonder if the Bengals fire DC Lou Anarumo as that Cincy defense was pounded in a lot of games. Not really the DC's fault tho as the team owner was too cheap to keep players. #27 in points allowed and #24 in yards allowed. This cheapness might lose them Higgins too....Joe won't be happy.

[MikePJ76]

A fan radio host here in Dallas, Bobby Belt (said josh allen is overrated and would miss the playoffs two years in a row)  said today that the job that Vrabel wants is Dallas and he would take it if offered.

 

No idea who told him that an agent or whatever but if he really wanted the Pats job this is the perfect thing to put out there to force their hand..Maybe it did?

 

 

[stuvian]

If I'm McCarthy and I want to keep coaching I leave Dallas

I don’t see how Cinncy can pay both Chase and Higgins. Fully expect Higgins to hit FA.

Definitely Daboll and Pedersen. Looks like Cowboys might try and extend McCarthy. Pierce is a maybe.

 

If there is a surprise out there.... watch McDaniel if Miami loses to the Jets tonight.

 

Think everyone will stay in Tennessee. In Indy the GM is gonna carry the can but I expect Steichen to hang on.

I think McDaniels gets a pass.  Not saying he deserves it, but they are kind of locked into this roster that was tailored to McDaniel’s playcalling. 
 

I could see them giving him another year so they can possibly to a full rebuild if he doesn’t pull it together

Maybe they move the team to Anchorage, Alaska?  'Coach Eggbert' wishes it were colder.

Makes no sense if the games matter why would he be sitting 

Unless they are planning on dumping him this off-season. He'd have like an 83m dead cap charge.

They won’t be that appealing without Higgins and no money to spend once they sign Chase.  The cheap ass owner is a problem.

The Bengals had a GREAT offense. I don’t see Ben Johnson being an answer to something that doesn’t need fixing.

 

On top of that, the Bengals ownership kept Marvin Lewis for years when he would miss the playoffs quite often. They aren’t going to fire a guy that was just in the Super Bowl a few years ago and won his last 5 games.

Why do we want McDaniel fired? The guy is an absolute blessing.

 

Both he and Grier are safe

Just watching him now with his three layers of winter coat and red nose, I couldn’t be more certain that the Fins are never going to be a January team under his leadership.

I don't get it. He's from Denver!
