2009 NFL coaching carousel thread

[Mizzougrad96]

There seems to be a lot of coaching discussions on the weekly NFL threads, so I thought it might deserve its own thread.

Which coaches do you think will be fired between now and the end of the season? Who do you think will replace them?

 

[Herbert Anchovy]

Raheem Morris is looking more and more like a one-and-out. That team is no worse than the ones inherited by Dungy or by Sam Wyche. They aren't even competing.

 

[Pancamo]

Zorn
Norv Turner
Jauron

 

[Mizzougrad96]

1. Zorn
2. Morris
3. Phillips
4. Cable
5. Jauron
6. Kubiak
7. Del Rio
8. Turner
9. Fox
10. Mangini

I think all could be gone.

Where will Gruden, Shannahan, Cowher land?

 

[Pancamo]

If Del Rio wins 7 games he stays in Jacksonville. No way do is the money there to pay to coaches at the same time.

Add Jeff Fisher to the list. He may not get fired but might ditch.

If Fisher wears Peyton's jersey again this week, he may be at the top of this list!

The only thing keeping Zorn in Washington past Monday is that the Skins and Eagles play on Monday night. Hopefully for him, the game goes past midnight.

1/2 that crowd might be wearing green.

Unless you know who the replacement is going to be, I'd be hesitant to let any first year coach go. Wouldn't be surprised to see a coach signed for next seaon before the season ends. There are a few people out there who will be able to write their own deal.
And anyone think a college coach might make the jump? Stoops? Meyer? Ferenz? Tressel? I've got to think coaches seeing how things ended for Fulmer, Carr and possibly Bowden, the idea of finishing their careers at their schools might not be so appealing.

Just can't see any of the big name coaches taking Skins job for any amount of Snyders money.

First-year coaches get canned when first-year coaches amply demonstrate -- 16 games being sufficient -- that they're not ready to be head coaches in the NFL. Morris came in and kicked away a pillar of the organization (the Cover-2, even if its architect is way gone), he was said to have cut his teeth on the defensive side of the ball and he has probably the worst tackling team in the league (there's actually a real fight for that honor this season).

If Zorn is a lock to be canned. (I say he's gone by next Tuesday.) then I would say Morris is running second right now. He never should have gotten that job in a million years.

I'd like to see one of the big-name coaches wind up in San Diego. I think that's the best of the likely openings. I could see a big name winding up in Dallas, but I think any coach with a clue doesn't go anywhere near the Redskins.

I would love to see Urban Meyer jump to the NFL. It would be fun to watch him fail and even more fun to watch Florida make the PC hire and watch Charlie Strong fail at UF. I think it will happen soon, especially if Florida wins the title again.

Don't see Meyer moving to the NFL. No doubt he has spent a lot of time talking to Billy Donavan about his brief step into Pro coaching.

Billy doesn't have the ego Meyer does.

Think about it: two of the jobs likely/almost certain to open up have absolute leper colony/death ship status, Skins and Raiders.



And the minute more than about two jobs open up, Nick Saban's (well, Jimmy Sexton's) phone line will be buzzing. Get ready, Tide fans, for the first installment in the perennial drama.

I just finished reading Meyers book and he really strikes me as a college guy.

Skins are off next weekend - so early next week is a good time for a change.
Snyder apparently wants Cowher.
Ain't gonna happen.
