Also, ESPN's Chris Mortensen reported Sunday that three more coaches will be relieved of their duties this week:



In Buffalo, Gregg Williams is expected to be fired Tuesday after three seasons in which he went 17-31. The Bills do, however, plan to bring back quarterback Drew Bledsoe.



In Chicago, Dick Jauron should get word Monday that he will be fired. Jauron's Bears finished the year at 7-9 and went 37-46 in Jauron's five seasons, including 0-1 in the postseason.



In Oakland, sources say Bill Callahan will lose his job after two seasons as coach. Callahan's Raiders are currently 4-11 one season after making it to the Super Bowl.

ESPN has been reporting this for a while, but its not "official" untill it comes from One Bills Drive.

Also in unofficial news, the Bills will probably hire Jim Fassel as previously reported by Mort. Sorry no link.

Fron the same story-
While team officials have not yet apprised McGinnis of his status, the Cardinals have been conducting background checks for weeks now on potential replacements. Through intermediaries, the Cardinals and former Minnesota Vikings coach Dennis Green have expressed mutual interest in each other.


Another possible candidate is Jim Fassel, who on Sunday coached his final game with the New York Giants, and who once served as the offensive coordinator for the Cardinals. The club has also checked on University of Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz.


I wouln't put Fassel's name in stone yet.

Why the :angry: would they wait til Tuesday?
Is this some kind of conspiracy?:huh:

[Dozerdog]

There is usually a day or two of post season activity- exit physicals for players, debreifings, cleaning out the lockers and offices....grovelling and shoe kissing after the meeting....the usual

Well...that :angry:ing sucks copiously.

Yea but heres hoping we get him :pray:

[Dozerdog]

While he's an improvement over what we got- I'd still have a lot of others on my list ahead of Fassel. His 2003 season is juat as bad if not worse than Gregg Williams'

[Turf]

I'm not necessarily for it, but a lot of rumors have Haslett coming here.

[Dozerdog]

I'd have Haslett over Fassel on my list....but I'd still rather see a few others ahead on my lists.

Both Haslett and Fassel would probably keep the defensive coaches together - Fassell because he's an offensive guy and if he's got a D that works why mess with it. Haslett because he's been on the same staffs as LeBeau. (Steelers)

[Novacane]

I would not be upset if Fassel came here but like Dozer there are quite a few I'd rather see before him

what are they waiting for?get rid of the bum NOW!!!!!

Damn...I thought you'd deny receipt on that one. :ontome:

[Brian Griese Rulz]

How do you get fired when your not under contract to coach next year? :idunno:

And please don't bring Fassel in. He's done less with more talent then what Gregg had to work with.
