I think Fox should be given another chance due to the same reason as Linehan (lots of key injuries, especially the one the hurts the most, DelHomme)

Bulger, Holt, and Jackson all had issues even verbal blowouts with Linehan. It's possible he's lost the team

No question Linehan has lost that team and he should be fired. I don't even know why they hired him in the first place.He reminds me of a young Norv Turner. Good O/C bad H/C. Here is my problem is Linehan. He has no clue how to use Jackson. I mean they get down on the goalline and they are always trying to pass the ball. The dude should have stats like LT, he's that good. Plus they take him out of the game alot on 3rd downs. He's the best player they have ( IMO) and they take him off the field on 3rd down? Perhpas he's being careful with him cause he's been injured but you gotta wonder.

Coughlin

i think if he gets beaten bad by tampa bay in round ##1,he's gone.i think billick,marvin lewis, and edwards are ok this year,but cameron,and linehan are gone!!!

Fox? Panthers would be stupid to fire him. There has to be just cause to fire a coach and I see none with Fox's situation what it is.

They fired Henning last season b/c of the stagnant offense and it was worse this year. THere are tons of empty seats at Bank of America and those that show up usually leave in the 3rd quarter. They are 6-10 @ home the past two seasons (8-7 on the road w/ a trip to TB this weekend). And how can anyone not have a #2 QB on the roster at the beginning of the season? They have a top 5 DLine, solid LB's and a good secondary yet the defensive minded Fox doesn't have them in the top half in almost any defensive category. I'm actually suprised if Fox isn't fired Sunday afternoon and told to find his own way back from Tampa.

Because he's the force that's keeping DeShaun Foster on the field.

That alone should get him sent out of town right there, but his defensive unit has vastly underachieved this year.

Joe Gibbs is my choice

Gibbs needs a raise after what he did with this injury prone team. He did a great job with personel...I haven't cared for his tendancy to lay back in the 2nd half, nor some other calls, but overall, he has done very well at holding this team together and perservering through tough times.

Your comment is idiotic

WOW!!! I'm speechless!!! I guess people don't appreciate anything these days!!!

I don't think they will fire billick, but if I had to pick 1 coach that NEEDS to be fired, it's him. He sucked this year...poor call after poor call, and losing to the Dolphins is pathetic. He has had a ton of arguments with players too...including that tirade at the end of regulation in the Dolphins game with several players.

it'd cost the ravens 15$mill to fire billick... he's pretty safe. fox has already got public support from his owner, so he's probably safe. After another playoff run, i doubt coughlin goes anywhere either. gibbs may have been offered a two year extension already. there's no chance in hell he'll ever be fired. he'll have to resign or retire first.

childress SHOULD be fired, and word is he's not really well liked up there (among fans and players).

there will be turn over, but not as much as last year.

You're right...there ALWAYS is turnover, and a lot are shocking.

I have a friend that lives in Denver that said he's heard rumors that Shanahan could be fired. Not sure how accurate that is, but there are a lot of people that think he's really messed up this season AND last season after that dropping Plummer for Cutler fiasco. 2 consecutive disasters could mean a ticket out of town. That would shock the NFL community, but it's not out of the question.
I think Mangini could be let go as well. He brought a lot of negativity to NY this year and terrible publicity that the Jets brass can't be happy with. Sure he had a great season last year, but having a similar team this year and getting a whopping 3 wins and destroying his own rep can't be good for his future.
We saw what happened to Schottenhiemer last year, what if the Chargers are dismissed 1st round? Is Norv on the block then?
