May just be a pit stop if the offense doesn't stop the full on regression since GB game. BAL potentially coming to town is nightmare fuel.

Trestman gone as well.
Would be nice to have one that could have an impact in a big game though....

RIP rex and mike smith
to be honest, I think the mike smith firing is just a little unfair considering all he has done.

Happens every year. Black Monday. Or if you are Cleveland you fire your coaches on their way to their final game without telling them
He's been a spectacular failure in his second year at every NFL stop. Probably not a good idea to hire doctor death.
Glad the Bears cleaned house but I don't have any confidence they will hire the right people to right the ship.

I think the problem is they didn't run the ball enough.

Really wish Philbin was getting the ax today. Ross said he needed to see improvement this season and guess what, the team finished 8 and fucking 8 again. The team collapsed in December again. The team got embarrassed by the shitstain Jets again.
The Mike Wallace ordeal is the cherry on top of this cake of dog shit. A guy just refuses to play the second half of a game right after his team scores a TD and is playing well? Are you fucking kidding me? Mike Wallace is a selfish bitch and I hope he isn't on the team next year but this is just one more example of Philbin being an awful leader.
Look how the Jets played for their coach. A 3 win team knowing their coach is gone tomorrow and they play their hearts out. Meanwhile the Dolphins continue to reflect the decrepit nature of their HC as they sleepwalk through yet another disappointment.
Fuck this team. Fuck Stephen Ross and his bullshit about wanting to see improvement.
Also, good morning everyone, how are you all doing this fine Monday?

Basically.
Bionic can elaborate more since he seems to remember it best.
I'm sure Kas will claim that there was a second stomper like this is the Zapruder film or something.
He's already spouting crazy by saying he'd rather play the NFC West than the NFC North.
The Rams offense has been awful for 10 years. Getting one good year then a total flame out is an upgrade.
I'm not joking

What has he really done.
He had one of the most talented teams in the league for five years and could only get one playoff win out of it, including getting blown the fuck out by the 9-7 Giants and the Packers AT HOME. You could argue that they lost a lot of talent over the past two years whether through injury or departure, but he still showed that he couldn't coach the guys he had up.
Look at yesterday for example. They quit on him in a game that would have won them the division and a playoff bid.

Just in case there was any doubt with the whole Raiders thing that cropped up.
Also:
Is someone actually willing to give Jack Del Rio another head coach position? Very definition of a solid coordinator who has no business being a head coach at the NFL level, IMO.

Look at all those coaches getting fired, then there's Jim Harbaugh. Fuk you Niners....

There never was any doubt because there's not really a choice between those two.
College coaching jobs are so damn cushy that it's somewhat surprising that more don't downgrade into that area. Jon Gruden's job is the only thing better.

Dolphins player after the game:
"Man, I'm part of this team and this organization and I don't understand how the hell some decisions that get made around here get made. And I ain't alone, neither."
Philbin has completely lost the team and somehow this gets him a glowing endorsement from Stephen Ross. Fucking circus of dipshits.
I'd rather be a Jets fan right now.

Michigan is about to get played. Harbaugh doesn't want to leave the NFL. Why is he even meeting with an NFL team if the deal is done? Sounds like bullshit from Michigan.
I guess there is a first time for everything.
But that is a sick and perverted thing to wish for.

I am surprised that Sean Payton hasn't been fired in NO.
I am glad that the Giants lost yesterday. It was a lost season and we went from the 13th pick to the 9th pick just by losing yesterday. We need defensive line help in the worst way IMO. I'd love to draft a big time DT to pair with Hankins or a DE to play opposite Ayers (See what I did there?)

Seems to be a weak cast of Coordinator candidates.
You have Bowles (who flamed out in Philly), assuming SF is going with Fangio or Tomsula (49er fans have floated this name) and Quinn from Seattle.
Problem with Quinn is that he'll be coaching up to either the SB or Conference game, and most teams will want to have their staffs by then.
I want a stud lt in this draft., I don't think Beatty is gone after but will done after next season.

I don't disagree its all but done in Michigan but Harbaugh doesn't strike me as the "cushy" job type. His ego won't allow him to sit pat for long. If he gets that program in order, he'll make his way back to the NFL is due time.

Holding out for a chance to hope Arthur Blank does the right thing.
Edit:
Word on the street is that Dimitroff is safe for now.
I honestly think the Lions would have had a better chance to win with Chase Daniels or another respectable backup at QB. You can't throw 40 times and complete less than 50% of your passes. So many Stafford throws were way over the head / to the side of an open receiver. And largely because he thinks he's too good to throw with respectably proper form.
If Green Bay had total lockdown on the WRs, sure, okay. But that just wasn't the case.
If that was my franchise QB, I'd seriously have a hard time watching that team. It's not like this is one time problem.
Suh will get a hefty sum from someone, but is Detroit that team? All that talk before the game and that defensive front did fuck all.

Shanahan's prime ended the moment Elway retired
Harbaugh is a coach who wants complete control of player personnel (imho) and needs to have a constant flow of new personnel as the old personnel who gets tired of him, he screams perfect fit for college football for me.

I know its an embedded thought that the Giants are going to let JPP walk but I'm not so sure. They have no depth behind him right now outside of Demontre Moore and Ayers and I think they'll work a deal in the 10 million/yr range.
Sure but you're fooling yourself if you don't think he wants to coach at the NFL level. It will happen in time.

Who or what the fuck is gata? I assume that it's alligatorjandro.
Parcells style.
The OL gelled in pass pro towards the end of the year. They completely stoned the vaunted Rams front seven so I'm not thinking that it's a must update. However, we had ZERO push up front with the DL and it created problems throughout the defense. Upgrade the DL and create a pass rush with the front four and all of a sudden the run d looks good and the secondary looks much better when they don't have to cover as long.

Well they both took over dumpster fire teams that had just 1 win the previous year. I think Fox did more with less, especially early on, but could never sustain it with some talented rosters. 12-4 last year was a bit of smoke and mirrors, every realistic Panthers fan knew that, and then the cap situation dictated a decline this year. We'll see what he does next year with the most talented roster we've had in recent memory. Rivera may be average, but Getts is a superstar.

Just because the Ravens beat up on a bunch of bad teams this year does not make them good. Blake Bortles and Case Keenum destroyed that secondary, I doubt two of the best passers in the league are worried.

How the hell did you not know who Gata was?
And save that loser talk for the offseason thread.
Right now you are supposed to be cheering for Bizarro Elis team (Ben causes women to cry when he sexes them without consent, and Eli cries when the reverse happens!). Once Based Bell returns we could make some noise!

I just thought that if you gave Trestman that extra down he would be special.

Does he just want off the team? Dude could hold a
I had issues with Fewell, but my concern with the offensive line is that the Giants FO always looked short term with it and not long term and that's what caused the disaster the last 3 years of that o line
Beatty is not the long term solution that position imho (health concerns), and we now have a chance to really solidify a line that while making progress still has holes and is paper thin. And the run blocking was still awful.
Honestly either San Fran or Chicago. Both teams have talent.

This is going to sound crazy I know, but I don't think I want JPP back at that price. He is too inconsistent. I recognize that the Giants as a whole are inconsistent but the only way out of that type of malaise is what they have been doing more of lately with the "Captain's drafts". I feel like it would be rewarding someone for turning it on at the second half of a contract year. I'll pass on that.
One point I'll make in regards to that is the ripple effect OBJ has had. He has been consistent throughout the year after he started playing. Constant effort and it has elevated the offense. Suddenly Ruben Randle had 12 catches for 290 yards and a TD over his last two games. Suddenly Eli looks like he did in 2008 and 2009. I don't think it's a coincidence. I bet that next year we don't see the same type of concentration lapses from Cruz as well.

FYI: The Madden 15 intro scenario is still somehow possible.
These things need to happen though:
Lions beat the Cowboys
Panthers beat the Cardinals
Seattle beats Detroit
Carolina beats Green Bay in Green Bay(!) lolno
