NFL: Black Monday 2021 (Gase, Lynn, Marrone, & Pederson fired)

[Avs_19]

So he was safe, tanked a game to get a better draft pick for the team he was expecting to coach, and they fired him. That's cold.

It doesn’t sound like that was a factor based on the press conference. We just got a whole dissertation on Nate Sudfeld.

Looks like Dan Quinn is the leader for the Cowboys d coordinator job. What makes this interesting is this is a coach McCarthy didn't work with before.

I think he'll succeed there. After the 28-3 mess it was downhill for him as a HC, at least for now and with the same team. Was great as 'Hawks DC.

welcome to real life Doug......

The team was ravaged by injuries the last few seasons. Him going 9-7 last season was remarkable all things considered.
Also, he won a Super Bowl with a backup QB who stunk everywhere else.

He has his faults no doubt and his act in the final game was a disgrace but somebody will scoop him up pretty quick.

Foles had a good run with Kelly in 2013 so that statement is not 100% true.

They also got fairly lucky in that win. The "Philly Special" thing could have gone sideways very easily and is one of those plays you normally see work out in a movie or TV show. Besides, not like they stomped the Pats a la Seahawks/Broncos.

Who cares if they got lucky in the Super Bowl? Getting across the finish line is all that matters.

Quinn will be looking to rebuild his coaching stock

Wouldn't be first guy to go back to DC job and parlay that success into another HC shot

He could also be guy who ends up being looked at as a good coordinator but not cut out for HC job

 

[Blitzkrug]

Rex Ryan basically calling for Matt Nagy to go.

Trubisky sucks but i can't find anything wrong with what Rex said. Rex is also a guy who speaks from experience he threw himself in front of his lousy QB multiple times back in the days of the Sanchize.

I eagerly await the moment when Pace and Nagy cook up some half-assed scheme to fix the Bears problem at QB only for them to be like 1-5 to start and both guys are canned

I agree, I'm just saying its not like they blew them out 43-8 and he outreached Belichik.

Bummer. Was hoping he’d return to Seattle to take over from Norton.

most terminated HC end up back as a coordinator first before they get another shot.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

My expectation is Nagy/Pace are safe and Pagano will be sacrificial lamb this year (As offensive coaches were last offseason) along with maybe Lazor who no doubt embarrassed Nagy by having more productive offense while he was calling plays over Nagy when he was calling plays

Both Nagy and Pace should be gone

 

[Troy McClure]

He coached an awful injury plagued team to the division just last year.

Regardless, he will get a HC job very quickly.

Atlanta. Jets. Chargers. Jags.

He also was the coach who saw Wentz, the team’s best asset, regress and collapse to the point where they had no idea what to do at QB as the season went on and are going to be a mess going forward there. If the lasting impression of you as a coach is you were part of what ruined a young star QB, teams aren’t going to be lining up to hire you.

You think the Chargers want any part of putting their young, promising QB in Peterson’s hands after seeing what happened to Wentz?

If Bienemy leaves KC for a HC role could see Pederson land with them and coach Mahomes. What better way to rebuild the image and get another HC job in 1 or 2 years.

No kidding. You could say the same for every single one of Brady's Super Bowl's with the exception of the last one. They don't ask how.

If he actually played to win (which he claimed, and we know he didn't) he would still have a job. He deserved to be fired.

 

[Halladay]

He got sacked because he didn't like that he wasn't able to pick his coaches. Last year he held a press conference and in he stated one of his coaches was coming back, the next day the coach was fired. The owner and gm are making the decisions of who his coaches were. Not how a franchise should be run. Rossman won a power struggle with him.

I'm all for this change, but they need a new gm and that isnt happening right now.

Props for using sacked in reference to an American football gaffer.

He would probably be my choice. I'd be suprised if they hire a defensive oriented coach though.

Two of the former Seattle DC hired away. Likely means Norton is sticking around. Sigh...

Schneider just extended long-term, wonder if he can call the offense too.

I think him removing Hurts from the game *hurt* him (nevermind the pun).

It probably made him look like someone with no vision or sense of direction.

The fact that moving Wentz would create a lot of dead cap space doesn't help matters, either.
