The Official NFL Black Monday Thread...

Starts early. Tampa has fired Dirk Koetter & Jets have fired Todd Bowles.

Other possible moves are in Denver, Miami and Cincinnati. Probably more.

Gase is happening and Tannehil might not make it either. Rex Ryan already rumored to want the job. Kill me now

Fingers crossed that Vance Joseph gets canned. Of course, it doesn't matter if they can't get a decent QB (which somehow Elway is HORRIBLE at picking).
And Mike Brown's cheap *** ain't canning Marvin Lewis (unless he can get Hue Jackson to do the job).

 

[57stratdawg]

I think Gase and Ross have issues (you might know better than me), but I think he’s a good coach. Tannehill should get shown the door before Gase.

 

[57stratdawg]

Also see Rex being floated out for the UMiami job. Seems like his agent is working the channels.

Ross is the problem. Armando nailed it in the Miami Herald today https://www.miamiherald.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/armando-salguero/article223738365.html

He’ll open up his wallet and make it rain dollars just never with the right people. We need a total overhau: front office, coaches, and personnel. I know Tannehil gets raked over the coals but he has an average at best OL and very average skill talent. Hell the defense gave up the most yards in franchise history this year. Like where the 17 do you even start?

This boggles my mind on the first point. Other than winning the Payton Manning lottery, Jake "the Snake", is the best QB to come through Denver since Elway. Now, I know he wasn't in charge then.

Should read “Official Thread Starter” under your handle.

Vance Joseph fired by Denver...

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

I’m not a Denver fan, but Elway seems like be should be next

 

[57stratdawg]

Adam Gase fired in Miami

 

[57stratdawg]

Marvin Lewis fired in Cincy.

 

[msudawg12]

Marvin Lewis fired in Cincy.

They finally did it! Its mindblowing that he got 16 years

I also don't think Tannehill is the problem, but the problem with that, as I understand it, is that if they keep him, the cap hit will be quite large. They can get an equally decent QB for less.

 

[57stratdawg]

Steve Wilks out in Arizona.

Typing this post I learned a guy named ‘Steve Wilks’ coached the Arizona Cardinals this year.

 

[FreeDawg]

I don't think Tannehill is the answer but you can also hold serve with him a build a defense while you identify the next franchise QB option via the draft. Only thing you're getting in FA is a washed-up or average QB somebody else doesn't want. That said, why take a cap hit to keep RT if he's not making you a playoff contender to begin with? Can't get attached to those guys.

Early list of reported candidates in Miami:

John Harbough- he's the option numero uno in Miami
Jim Harbough- goofy sumbitch but wins everywhere he goes. He just got waxed so maybe he could be made interested
Mike MacCarthy- he'll have a lot of options. Don't know why. That was all Rodgers
Josh McDaniels- horrible in Denver but people love this guy. He's just like Gase to me
Rex Ryan- wants the job; please god no
Brian Flores- Pats DC
Jim Caldwell- not working so maybe a guy to watch
David Shaw- just a cfb guy to watch but doubtful
