NFL Coaching Carousel

[Banedon]

I'm being pretty generous in the "coaching interests " section. Let me know if I need to add or remove any...or make any corrections for that matter. I'll try to continue to update this thread over the next couple of weeks. I'll bold ones that appear to be more likely than others.

 

In Serious Danger:

Eric Mangini - Cleveland - SAFE

Jim Zorn - Washington - FIRED

Tom Cable - Oakland

Lovie Smith - Chicago - SAFE

Perry Fewell - Buffalo - FIRED

Gary Kubiak - Houston - SAFE

 

In Some Danger:

Raheem Morris - Tampa Bay - SAFE

Wade Phillips - Dallas

Jeff Fisher - Tennessee - SAFE

 

Rumored coaching interests:

 

Mike Shanahan - Washington

 

Bill Cowher - Buffalo, Houston, Tampa Bay

 

Charlie Weis - Kansas City OC

 

Mike Heimerdinger - Tennessee

[Prizefight]

I think if Houston does not make the playoffs, Kubiak is 100% gone.

[Banedon]

Ok...moved him.

[shnsajax]

I still think Wade Phillips has to win a game in the playoffs to. At least I hope so. I would dump him today for a shot at Cowher or Gruden.

That one is a hard call. I'm gonna leave him where he is for now...but with Jerry, who knows.

I honestly don't believe Lovie is in that much danger.

It might be some wishful thinking on my part.

I wouldn't either, but if he loses the next two games he is going to be gone.

Cowher to Buffalo is the rumor of the day. Added to list.

We received at 11:48 a.m. ET a text message from the Bills indicating that a press conference will be held at 2:30 p.m. ET today.

 

Since then, we've gotten multiple e-mails from folks wondering why in the hell the Bills would be holding a press conference at 2:30 p.m. ET on New Year's Eve.

 

We're trying to find out. We doubt that it's anything major, since anything major would have been leaked by now. But it's raising some eyebrows.

Mike Leach to Buffalo? ;)

The thought of him telling TO to go sit in a utility closet is golden.

[Banedon]

Sounds like it's going to be the promotion of Buddy Nix to GM.

[TruffleShuffle]

this jim zorn situation has been a fiasco. they were basically trying to force him into quitting by midseason and he didn't do it, so there's been a lame-duck coach for half a year. dan snyder is a joke.

They apparently interviewed Jerry Gray for the head coaching job last week.

Redskins fire Zorn. Shocking.

You're allowed to be wishful in this case.

Redskins fire Zorn. Shocking.

 

4am meeting, or so I heard.

 

Sheesh, if I was Zorn I would have requested a meeting following yesterday's game. I'm not getting up at 3am to get fired, just fire me now so I can get some sleep.

[Banedon]

The Bills fire the entire coaching staff.

The meeting was following the game (sort of) The Redskins got back to FedEx Field at 230 AM last night. The meeting was held then.

Adam Schefter of ESPN reports, citing an unnamed source close to the situation, that Cowher is not expected to take a coaching job in 2010.

 

Well, if the Bears are stuck with Lovie another year, at least Cowher will still be out there. I know some of you (gooney) aren't going to be as happy about that as some.

[Magnetic Curses]

if we get cowher, he better bring dick lebeau, which won't happen.

[Outshined_One]

Sounds like Tom Cable's going to get launched.

After John Fox bolts following the 2010 season, we get Cowher. STAY AWAY. :)
