Who's next to go?

Which coach do you think is going to get the axe next? First Kiffin, then Linehan, now Nolan. My money's on Marvin Lewis. 0-7 and you just got blown out of the water by Pittsburgh AT HOME. He'll be lucky to get to the bye week.

Body count in 2008-2009:

Lane Kiffin

Scott Linehan

Mike Nolan

Jim Haslett

Mike Shanahan

Eric Mangini

Romeo Crennel

Jon Gruden

Rod Marinelli

Tony Dungy (retired)

Mike Holmgren (retired)

10 teams have or will replace their head coach this season - nearly a third of the league (possibly 11 if Herm Edwards is fired like most people think). Good god!

And Dungy retired.

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN HOW STARVIN MARVIN LEWIS STILL HAS A JOB WHEN ERIC MANGINI WAS FIRED AFTER 2 WINNING SEASONS IN 3?!

Denver signed former New England, offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels as their new head coach!

Not a coach, but did you all see that the Cowboys cut Adam "Pacman" Jones, I guess he was taking too many headlines away from T.O. and Romo. Or it could have been the fact that he is somehow involved in a shooting and possibly organising another!

I believe I voted for Marinelli, so I'm feeling pretty proud right about now. Haha.

I suppose I can see Wade Phillips being fired next, but I reckon Lewis will be the next off.

Marinelli fired first, followed close second by Shanahan, with Crennel about to come in 3rd - or maybe Wade Phillips? Andy Reid is a playoff meltdown away from getting canned.

Oh and pip - how's that crow tasting? :P

the only guy on that list i can see being axed is marvin lewis.

Forgot about Holmgren retiring BUT:

1. Shanahan hasn only won 1 playoff game I think since Elway retired, and the defense is performing horribly

2. Crennel may have had a good season last year but the Browns are now 2-4 and he'll need at least an 8-8 season considering pre-season expectations

3. Andy Reid isn't likely to go either, but with Dallas reeling that blown lead looks worse each week. They need to make the playoffs I think for him to keep his job there

Yeah, I'd promote the Dallas OC who only managed to score 14 points against a Rams team giving up more that 30 a game! :)

Dan thats a strange list of coaches, i mean andy reid, mike shanahan, mike holmgren or romeo crunnel are not very likely to be fired.

Holmgren's in the last year of his contract and the seahawkes have had heaps of injuries plus they have already named his succesor, so he will stay.

Shanahan is a top the division and has 2 super bowls to his name, the broncos would have to absolutly blow up for him to go, yes they lost to new england, but with an injured cutler, no schefler, no stokely, young, or schefler. Plus pittman got hurt and the only other active rb fumbled on his first two carries, hardly growns for figing the coach.

Crunnel is coming off one of the browns best season since they re-entered the league, so he will get some le way.

Reid is half a chance, but he has made it through worse with the eagles.

My pick is Wade phillips, probably just because i dont like the cowboys and have considered them over rated the past 2 seasons. Jerry jones has fired every head coach he has ever had, however none during the season. The comments jones gave after the loss to st.louis indicated he is on the hot seat. Not to mention the money he gave to garret the OC to hang around, maybe he promotes him sooner rather than later.
