Coach firing thread

[MrB]

I have a feeling that Gruden will be back in the booth within 4 years.

Probably, because even Mark Davis will figure out 8 to 9 wins a year can be had for a whole lot less money.

Belichick tryin to back door his way to NYG? Have mixed emotions if it should happen. Part of me sees an automatic two losses on the schedule, but the same part of me hopes it would hasten Red's departure. Now what would Jerry do to fight fire with fire?

Point to his attendance and jersey sales figures?

Grudens contract is outrageous. Waste of money and a poor publicity stunt. No way he is successful in the new NFL.

He was only moderately successful in the old one. When the Raiders move to Vegas, generally they should get great attendance IMO. Every visiting teams fans will make it the road trip of the year. If you were going to make one road trip a year as a fan, wouldnt you want to go to Vegas?

Exactly

It would not surprise me that in a couple short years (or sooner) that you will see more of the opposing teams jerseys in the LV stadium than you will the Raiders

Watched the Gruden introduction...Del Rio must be feeling rejected. Must have been hard for him to watch.

Yeaah, that would seem to make some good business sense.

I wish the Clapper could get to that moderate level of success then...getting a team into the playoffs a few times, winning a Super Bowl on one team, after building the team he beat in the Super Bowl.

now theres rumors of matt patricia prefers to coach the giants, even though he's the favorite to become the new lions head coach.

if he does coach NYG...there's 2 losses right there for garrett vs. a rookie hc

[dbair1967]

Carolina fired their OC (another Shula) and QB coach (Dorsey)

it's expected they'll hire Norv Turner as QB coach

 

[icup]

seattle fired their OC too

 

[icup]

seattle continues to clean out their coordinators. i guess missing the playoffs is unacceptable in seattle.

I am kind of intrigued by Richard and Carl Smith. Seattle missed the playoffs because their DBs were decimated and the O Line was swiss cheese.

Read they were trying to bring back Gus Bradley as DC

You basing this on the massive amount of success that BB’s former assistants have had once they got their own gig?

I thought Norv was done coaching?
