Black Monday: NFL Coaches and Executives Carousel

He has a 1 in 8 chance of winning every year. Jim Zorn would probably win it a few times, too. The fact that he's done so twice is not remotely meaningful in the context of being an NFL head coach. Thanks to Lovie Smith, the Bears are already a great football team.

I expect them to start out fairly hot, just like Zorn did when taking over for Gibbs. Within a year or two, the Lovie-effect will wear off, the Bears will decline, and Trestman will be out.

You dont think Kosar, Plummer, and Gannon were impressive qb's. ? Ok fine, Scott Mitchell certainly isnt but look at what he did when Trestman was there. Its night and day. Look at what all of them did when Trestman was in town. its not important about your opinion of the qb's overall success but your opinion of how the quarterbacks played while he was there. You cant deny those numbers, wins, and career years under his watch. Bears offense will be explosive next year - watch.
As for bowl games - its NC State. They arent exactly a great team, but while he was there they had one of their better years. Not sure why you think its ridiculous to say everyehere he has gone hes had success? His footprints are all over winning teams in three different leagues even if one was the CFL. He shows up and its instant offense. The proof is in the pudding. Show me somewhere his offense didnt light it up as an OC or somewhere his qb didnt do the same while he was a QB coach?

Im with you all the way. I hope this guy is a huge success, except when he plays the Skins of course.

Eagles are either going to implode or start a new set of trends for offense in the NFL.

Hey SS, is Haslett here next year? Any rumblings from FO about Morris interviewing?

Does anybody think Morris got credit for the defensive turn around the second half? Somethings changed where we played better D and it was noticeable in the secondary...I think you have to give some credit there, Id like Morris to hang around, even more so than Haslett at this point.

Generally college coaches that don't have any NFL experience. Don't work

[SmootSmack]

Haslett probably stays. Think Rah definitely deserves credit. I don't think Cleveland will be his only interview

[Chico23231]

Yeah Rah seem to def turn it up and had the guys playing well.

Im glad Eagles didnt get Bruce Arians...Cards gonna get a solid coach.

Surprised Zim in Cincy doesnt get interviews...

That's because the in thing now is to get a offense mind as the head coach.

I already forgot Marc Trestmann was hired today with Chip Kelly pulling a reverse Nick Saban ("I'm not gonna coach there I'm gonna coach here; nevermind I'm gonna coach there") and Manti either being an evil lying mormon or another ''catfish'' victim.

[SmootSmack]

Well Zimmer did interview w Browns

[BigHairedAristocrat]

Bye bye Raheem

After my wife saw the story she told me about Catfish. I now watch that and should probably mention that in the silly tv shows you get hooked on thread. Of course i may be making this whole story about my wife up?
In all seriousness the Manti story trumps absolutely every other bit of news ive heard today, in recent history, and quite possibly ever as far as being out there.
