Has any coach been fired after just one year?

[ArcticWildMan]

Unless things turn around in a hurry, I wonder if Mularky may be fired after this season?

[Jayhawk]

yeah green bay had a coach a few years back that didn't make it to his 2nd season. HEck Lou Holtz didn't finish his first year as JEt's coach.

[Drewpac]

I'd fire him now. This team sucks.

Ray Rhodes, Packers coach was fired after a year (8-8)..


Mularkey is in year 1 of a 5 year deal...TD has a year left on his deal...can't see RW eating those salaries.

[Jeff1220]

Unless there's some sort of out in his contract, RW would have to pay him the remaining 4 years of payment. We know that won't happen, so I'd say we're stuck with MM for a while.

Ralph may have to eat his salary if he wants to sell tickets. Fans are going to demand somebody's head or they will just stop buying tickets.

4 years of a rookie coach contract is chump change compared to what it could cost him in lost revenue.

[Jayhawk]

yeah but I would fire, TD, and the offensive staff first and shorten MM contract first

Agreed. 18-36, 1-9 in the last 10 games, no playoffs in 5 years will make for some fan pushback.

Okay. Let's have some fun and speculate who might be available if indeed the Bills create a vacancy.

[Mr. Cynical]

Pete Carroll, Jets, 1994. And the funny thing is he was 6-10, which will be far better than whatever the Bills have this year.

Joe Bugel, Raiders, 1997. 4-12 record.

Marty Schottenheimer, Redskins, 2001, 8-8 record.

• After seeing him w/ the Pats and Jets, there's no way I'd want Pete Carroll in here. I don't care how good USC is.

• I'm not very familiar w/ Bugel. Any good?

• I'd take Marty over any of the coaches in Buffalo since Wade left.

• Maybe Kirk Ferentz could be lured out of Iowa this year?

Ferentz would be a fool to take a coaching job with us.

[BidsJr]

Ferentz would never come to B-Lo

He is at Iowa till he retires unless Cowher somehow messes up Big Ben

[Jeff1220]

True, but w/ his OL knowledge, he might be just the kind of guy the Bills need.

Actually that was just a list of coaches who were fired after one year, not ones that I'd want here.

And altho I like him, Marty is still the HC of SD so he is not available.
