[The King]

Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt is scheduled to meet Monday with team president Michael Bidwill.

[gebobs]

Chan Gailey extended.

[OpIv37]

Turner's a joke. The guy has consistently underachieved in SD with a lot of talent, after horrible stints in Oakland and Washington.

The guy must have lots of photos of NFL owners in compromising positions or mafia backing or something. I don't ever recall a coach that has been so unsuccessful getting so many chances.

[The King]

I'd love to get Whisenhunt.

The sad part is that decision wouldn't be nearly as bad as our last 3 DC's.

[The King]

Perry Fewell has 2 rings...

[The King]

Gailey has a 3:30 Presser.

[Saratoga Slim]

Gailey isn't going to give a press conference to announce his own firing. To me this is an end of year wrap up kind of conference, and it suggests that he hasn't yet received word that he's done.

[GingerP]

Gailey isn't going to give a press conference to announce his own firing.

That would be hilarious, though.

[kishoph]

Gailey has a 3:30 Presser.

That is nothing new, that has been scheduled, hopefully we never get to hear it, because he is let go before 3:30.

So they're going to make him swing publicly?

some organization.

[DraftBoy]

WKBW reporting Nix and Gailey will meet with Ralph today, could be happening right now.

[Dude]

WKBW reporting Nix and Gailey will meet with Ralph today, could be happening right now.Probably via a pre-recorded video at the Big Tree Inn.

[Dude]

Could be he's resigning y'know.Unlikely. He's got to know he won't get another HC job in theleague, so why willingly give up the one he has.

Then again, he thinks Fitz is a good QB and thinks Spiller gets winded, so yeah, maybe he's also stupid enough to step down.

[GingerP]

Unlikely. He's got to know he won't get another HC job in theleague, so why willingly give up the one he has.

He also has at least a year left on his deal. If he is fired, he still collects it. If he quits, the Bills don't have to pay.

He'll have to be fired, he won't walk away from money.

I thought he had a 3 year gig?

right now? You think Ralph is up and has completed his morning BM already?

[GingerP]

I thought he had a 3 year gig?

Not according to Nix.

[gebobs]

Not according to Nix.
Nix is history. It's a three year gig regardless of what was signed. If these guys aren't both gone by New Year's day, Ralph can look forward to the stands looking just like yesterday come September.

OK, but the point was they aren't going to be resigning. Neither guy is just going to walk away from a contract. They are going to have to be fired, or they forfeit the remaining money in their contracts.

I only offered it up as a possibility. If Gailey had an ounce of integrity, he would resign.

[YardRat]

I believe Gailey got 5 years, so he has two left.

[dannyek71]

Gailey: "I've decided to take my talents to NES Tecmo Bowl. With Bo Jackson I cannot be stopped."

[X-Era]

Gailey: "I've decided to take my talents to NES Tecmo Bowl. With Bo Jackson I cannot be stopped."
With Bo he really can't.

[The King]

Browns general manager Tom Heckert and head coach Pat Shurmur have been fired.

[YardRat]

They are already having a **** fit on GR55 because nothing has been announced yet. Ralph's deal is he always lets people go in person, face-to-face, as opposed to letting someone else get their hands dirty.

[The King]

Eagles announced HC Andy Reid officially dismissed. Press conference at noon ET.

[dannyek71]

You guys are all jumping to conclusions. This is going to be a pretty ho-hum presser. Gailey is going to go state that he doesn't know what is going on yet and is planning on coaching next year. He will also state that he will be taking some time off to reflect on the season and go on a 6 month world tour with his new cross dressing, gangster rap/country music group "The Renegade Soul Eaters". Thank and he would like to thank the fans of WNY. Nothing too spectacular.

[The King]

Whoa: Bears have sent out consent forms requesting permission to interview head-coaching candidates.

[DraftBoy]

Lovie would be an interesting option here if they let Gailey go.

[The King]

There are going to be some definite upgrades out there.

[The King]

Chiefs fired Romeo Crennel. Scott Pioli safe for now.

[YardRat]

Lovie's been let go according to NFLN...it's official.

[The King]

Gailey has been fired (unconfirmed by major sources)

[ServoBillieves]

My question: When coaches are let go and are seen as "upgrades"... wouldn't they have stayed in their positions if they were any good?

That being said, I will take any coaches/coordinators over what we have now.

Lovie would look good in red white n' blue... Just sayin'.

Not really. Whisenhunt was dominant when he had a solid QB playing for him, since then he's had a ton of inconsistency at the position. Lovie's Oline was a disaster and Cutler was getting killed every week. That was the bulk of Chicago's struggles.

[The King]

Bills fired Chan Gailey.

[Don't Panic]

I could see Reid to Chicago... may be the reason they moved on Lovie. Just my speculation... no links.

[The King]

Ron Rivera being rumored as gone now.

[The King]

Chiefs new HC will help determine fate of GM Scott Pioli like Jaguars new GM will help determine fate of HC Mike Mularkey.

[The King]

<s style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(130, 218, 245); ">#</s>Titans (https://twitter.com/search?q=%23Titans&src=hash) owner Bud Adams just informed Mike Munchak he will be back with the team in 2013

[The King]

Dean Spanos announced today that General Manager A.J. Smith and Head Coach Norv Turner will not return in 2013.

[Dude]

Turner and AJ Smith both gone in San Diego.

GM Rod Graves fired in Arizona.

Quite a few GMs biting the dust. I wonder who delivered the news to Gailey - was it Nix or Wilson? If it was Wilson then that's not a good sign for Nix.

[The King]

GM Rod Graves fired in Arizona.



Whisenhut next?

I referred to this earlier...Wilson prefers to handle these things on his own, face to face. I give him props for that.

Cardinals fire Wiz

[The King]

Cardinals fire Wiz
That's my guy.

[Don't Panic]

I wouldn't complain with Wisenhunt...

[GingerP]

Wisenhunt was just fired. He is a good HC.

[The King]

Whisenhunts record.

2007: 8-8
2008: 9-7
2009: 10-6
2010: 5-11
2011: 8-8
2012: 5-11

[The King]

Arizona and Chicago have asked for and received permission to interview Broncos OC Mike McCoy for their HC job. Will interview this weekend.

Maybe why Bears were so quick to part with Lovie.

[DraftBoy]

Bears will also interview Falcons ST Coord Keith Armstrong.

Chiefs, Eagles, and Browns will talk with Falcons OC Dirk Koetter.

[DraftBoy]

DeCosta is staying in Baltimore, will not be granting any interviews for GM jobs.

Jets have received permission to interview Giants Director of College Scouting Marc Ross.

[Saratoga Slim]

Gailey isn't going to give a press conference to announce his own firing. To me this is an end of year wrap up kind of conference, and it suggests that he hasn't yet received word that he's done.

P.s. I stand corrected.
