2023 Coaching Hot Seat

[Cntrygal]

Who knew that we'd need this thread in the first week of November?!?!?! Maybe we should start 2024 during the Pre-Season. :boozer:


The Raiders are now in the market for a new HC and GM...

Who's next? :scratch:

[Woodman]

Let's keep it on the West Coast.

Sean McVay would be my guess.

[sukie]

Giants & Cards might have vacancies.
Rivera has his team torn apart defensively… he isn’t long in that job
Bellichick is on borrowed time regardless of extension

Fans unhappy with HC Chicago

Bowles is running thin in Tampa

If Chargers implode… look out.

yeah hi :cgal:

Bowles definitely belongs on any list.

[Cntrygal]

Hey there Sukie & Woodman :wave:


The Raiders also axed their OC this morning!

I threaded that in this very forum this morning

[Mace]

Matt Eberflus, Bears.

[Woodman]

Matt Eberflus, Bears.

Wow how could we leave him out .... good one.

[YardRat]

Staley-Chargers.

Frank Reich in Carolina if Bryce Young doesn't start to do something.

[sukie]

Wow how could we leave him out .... good one.

I mentioned Chicago fans unhappy with coach. Bears blow and just throwing money around without clear direction.

[kscdogbillsfan1221]

Ummmm

no

[kscdogbillsfan1221]

Eberflus is a goner in all likelihood

dabolls seat is not hot but warming up

Rivera is cooked

bellicheats seat is warming up

Missing the playoffs will be the end for Staley in San Diego or wherever they are now.

[Woodman]

:cheers: You did !!

[Woodman]

Ummmm

no

Ok one more year of constant losing here we come.

[Woodman]

Frank Reich needs to come home and coach our QB.

[Woodman]

Titans get the ball 1st in the 2nd half.

[Mace]

Staley-Chargers.

Frank Reich in Carolina if Bryce Young doesn't start to do something.

Kind of think the perfect match for Reich would have been Stroud.

[Woodman]

Staley-Chargers.

Frank Reich in Carolina if Bryce Young doesn't start to do something.

Agreed.

[Woodman]

Eberflus is a goner in all likelihood

dabolls seat is not hot but warming up

Rivera is cooked

bellicheats seat is warming up

Missing the playoffs will be the end for Staley in San Diego or wherever they are now.

Would love it if he got canned.

[Woodman]

Will the Cardinals make a change?

Jonathan Gannon if it's about winning it's a full fail.

[ticatfan]

Orlando steinauer. TigerCats.

[Woodman]

Orlando steinauer. TigerCats.

I'll just trust you on that one. :D

[Cntrygal]

Steelers just fired their OC

[Woodman]

Any idea who the replacement is yet?

Dorsey is available.

[Woodman]

There’s been no official word on who will be calling the Steelers’ offensive plays going forward, but Steelers quarterbacks coach Mike Sullivan and running backs coach Eddie Faulkner will reportedly assume Canada’s duties.

There is no fixing Pickett.

He's awful.

But so is Matt Canada.

If the Steelers somehow make the playoffs, Tomlin legitimately should get some consideration for Coach of the Year.

That's a Rodgers guy, until he has a Rodgers next year I doubt it. Rodgers will show everyone how the game is played, with Rodgers guys.

Staley from SD, Rivera look bad.....Reich is looking worse with a mercurial owner. And no, I wouldn't hire any of them. I don't see Hackett and Saleh going without Rodgers, and I'm dubious Belichick does with a prime draft pick to reload at QB, unless he "moves upstairs" and still has his hand in the kitchen. Eberflus in Chicago looks hapless. McVay might lose his love of coaching again, Dennis Allen won't dig NO out, and Todd Bowles is just a better DC than HC.

If they all bite the bullet, Bowles is a jewel at DC, but there's no way McDermott gets past himself to think of hiring him.

You're going to be sore at me for saying I think Leslie Frazier is welcomed back with clapping for the next season which gets McDermott fired.

[Woodman]

Robert Saleh “not worried” about his job security (nor should he be)

It took eleven games. It took seven losses. It took four losses in a row.

It came after Friday’s 34-13 loss to the Dolphins.

Jets coach Robert Saleh was asked by reporters whether he’s worried about his job security.

“No, I’m not worried,” Saleh said.

He shouldn’t be. This entire mess is a direct result of an organizational decision to sell its soul for Aaron Rodgers.

[Novacane]

Maybe the Jets should consider firing their OC.

Aaron Rodgers makes that call and Hackett is his buddy.

[Novacane]

Sean McDermott should be on this list.

Panthers fire Frank Reich
After just 11 games, the Panthers are moving on from their head coach.
Carolina has fired Frank Reich, the team announced on Monday morning.
“I met with coach Reich this morning and informed him that he will not continue as head coach of the Carolina Panthers,” team owner David Tepper said in a statement. “I want to thank Frank for his dedication and service, and we wish him well.

Just a terrible owner.

[Woodman]

David Tepper is the current example of the NFL owner most out of his element and least willing to admit it. He made billions playing money games. He thinks those skills will allow him to win plenty of football games. They don’t and they won’t.

[Mace]

Great time to keep the Carolina connection.

They can start next year with Frazier HC, McDermott DC, and Dorsey OC.....we can start with Reich at HC, keep Brady at OC, and get Eijiro Evero as DC when they wipe the staff. Reich has to leave the offense alone though.

[Mace]

So if he gets annother head coaching job, would that mean there's a Third Reich?

Orlando steinauer. TigerCats.
Gone.

[Woodman]

Is it time for Steelers, Mike Tomlin to go their separate ways?

Whenever the Steelers hit a rough patch, a chunk of the team’s fanbase begins to clamor for a coaching change. Amid the team’s current struggles, featuring history-making home losses (https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/steelers-have-made-the-worst-kind-of-nfl-history) against a pair of two-win teams, the noise has returned.

And it’s perhaps louder than ever.

Would the Steelers move on from Mike Tomlin? With three coaches since 1969, it’s not their way. With Tomlin having no losing seasons in his first 16 years on the job, it’s inconceivable to believe the Steelers would push Tomlin out if they fail to make the playoffs and fail to finish at or above .500.

Commanders fire Ron Rivera

Ron Rivera has been fired as head coach of the Washington Commanders.

The widely anticipated move became official this morning.

New Commanders owner Josh Harris wants a fresh start, and Rivera is coming off a highly disappointing season that ended with a 4-13 record, Rivera’s worst in Washington.

A bit of a surprise.

[Mace]

Under Carroll's guidance, the Seahawks generated one Super Bowl, two NFC championships, and five NFC West titles. The club also went through thousands of pieces of chewing gum.

It was Bubble Yum, and Carroll would sometimes go through 3 packs on a game day.

Dislike the Seahawks for some reason. Loved seeing that guy on the sidelines though. Thought he'd be there forever.
