Black Monday 2023

Who gets a pink slip?

 

Ron sticks until he gets dumped by a new owner. Nice guys finish 7-10

Irsay has some dumber move in store much as he'd love to take credit had Saturday worked out. Drug test owners please.

Allen isn't done driving the car over the cap cliff.

McDaniels owner is too poor plus he needs "his guys*" to win.

* the guys the patriots decided weren't essential to keep as their empire crumbles.

Bowles gets to be the fall guy for a cap clearing for another year.

Lovie is ron with worse pr. Retire man.

Kliff gets the axe likely with keim as the next coach is brought in to fix kyler. That job is quietly the most toxic in the league.

 

Rivera is safe while Snyder is the owner. He provides an air of legitimacy and good culture.

Irsay may love Saturday, but he has to comply with the Rooney rule and so far Saturday has not shown himself to be a good head coach. Once the interview process starts, someone in that organization is going to talk some sense into him and get him to hire someone with experience.

Allen won't be fired after just one year, he has too much history with the Saints.

McDaniels will also get another year. Davis is not an owner who can afford changing coaches every year.

Bowles just win the division. It's been a down year for Tampa Bay, but he will get another shot and after they lose Brady and suck hard next year, he'll be let go then.

Lovie should be fired, but the Texans are on their fourth coach in three years. If they try and replace him now, who would want that job?

Kingsbury has had four years and one winning record. 4-13 should be the end for him.

 

There are others. Apparently Mike McDaniel is in trouble if Miami goes from 8-3 to missing the playoffs. I also think McCarthy needs a playoff win to be 100% safe. Kevin Stefanski could be a surprise firing. At minimum, they'll be doing a staff overhaul on defense. And Vrabel will probably have to make a ton of concessions after such a colossal collapse within that division.


- The Saints and Raiders are too broke to make coaching changes this early, and I think Allen has done a pretty good job of keeping that team competitive.


- Bowles becomes tricky if Brady decides to play another year in Tampa, since Tom clearly despises playing for defensive minded HCs. If Brady moves on, Bowles is their sure-fire stopgap coach.


- Saturday is an interim, and his performance has been so abysmal that even Jim Irsay can't justify promoting him to full time. I'm more interested to see what happens with their GM. He's done a good job overall, but they've had two straight catastrophic misses at QB.



- The Cards are probably blowing up their entire building, and then hoping Murray can A) recover from his injury, and B) put down the xbox controller and start behaving like an adult.



- Lovie Smith has essentially been an interim option for Houston. I think he has a 0% chance of staying beyond one year. What's crazy is that if they get Bryce Young, a guy who suddenly makes sense is Bill O'Brien.



- Ron is probably technically safe given the state of the Football Team, but he's going to have give up power. Telling on himself with the Wentz thing is one of the strangest coaching tantrums of all time.

 

Dolphins firing McDaniel would only prove that Flores was right about what a shit show they are.

Stefanski gets one year with full deshaun before he gets canned cause Watson will want his own guy there.

Vrabel- depends on how the gm thing shakes out he's definitely an above average coaching but can his team go from winning bad division to contenders or does he top out at fox/ron/lovie/mikeSmith?

Also it's rumored Vance Joseph in contention to take cards job from kliff. NFL owners are some of the dumbest mother fuckers on the planet.

 

Kliff is too laid back for the NFL. He's won more games than I imagined he would, but you can't survive long with such a type B persona. Joseph would be a dumb promotion but they definitely need someone who isn't going tolerate being yelled at by his QB. Someone needs to bring that locker room to heel.

 

Kliff is an excellent OC harder leadership stuff belongs to the head coach and theres someone to pull his leash when his schemes get a bit retarded.

 

Caldwell and Reich are already scheduled to come interview as well as Wilks

 

Lovie fired

 

Kliff Kingsbury fired, GM Steve Keim not returning to focus on his health
