Predictions for Black Monday NFL Coach Firings
Date: January 03, 2010 11:15AM

So what do you think? Do you think Danny Boy will wait until tomorrow to announce Zorn's firing? Or will he do a Mike Tice on Zorn? Also, other predicted firings? I would think Eric Mangini is a given.

I wouldn't be surprised if Zorn is fired right after the game and the new coach (Shanahan, most likely) is immediately announced.

Mondays mornings, after the game are the usual times for press conferences announcing firings and hirings of coaches.

Zorn is already gone, done deal.
Mangini will also get canned.
Don't be completely shocked if Ryan (jets coach) get sacked.
The Tampa coach, Morris, might get it, but I think he'll get another year.
I think Wade Phillips is safe, even if he loses the next 2 games.

I think Zorn may get the hook tonight, but Shanahan (or whoever the replacement coach is) won't be announced until tomorrow.

Up until a few weeks ago, I thought Morris was a goner. But they have played much better in recent weeks.

If Cowher is interested in coaching in either North Carolina or Tennessee, either John Fox or Jeff Fisher should be shown the door. Frankly, I think they should be shown the door anyway, but I think Fox has another year on his contract. Fisher may be gone, given his public falling out with the owner over playing Vince Young.

You would think Tom Cable would be safe in Oakland, but Al Davis is so fucking crazy, who knows there.

As for Philips, if Dallas loses its first playoff game, expect Jerry Jones's head to explode, especially if all of the big name coaches are off the market. If that happens, don't be surprised if Jones cans Phillips, names Garrett interim head coach and waits to see if Garrett can do a better job in 2010 or if a big name pro or college coach becomes available.

He said last week he wasn't interested in coaching right now. Or do you think that was false pretense?

I hadn't heard that. Word out of Charlotte is that John Fox is going to stay for the final year of his contract. Cowher may be waiting for that opening. I can't imagine him being interested in Tampa, Oakland, Cleveland or some of the other places that may come open.

The Jets are on the cusp of the playoffs with an erratic rookie qb, and they have the best defense in the league. Ryan won't get canned.

FOX 5 just had the "unofficial" announcement that Zorn would be fired tomorrow.

The fired will be:

Zorn
Mangini
Tom Cable

What about Mora out in Seattle? The Seahawks suck.

I think Morris in Tampa gets a pass for this season. TB has 10 picks in this upcoming draft (rebuilding 101), so I think he gets one more go of it. Rex Ryan is good for another year. Rookie QB, on the verge of the playoffs - you can't let him go.

Lovie Smith is on the hot seat this next year, if he doesn't get canned before then.

Mora Jr. should be fired for a shitty attitude to go along with the shitty record. However, I think Paul Allen will give him at least one more season.

Rumor is Cowher has been expressing an interest in Buffalo and in Tampa. I think if Cowher was willing to go to Tampa, they would show Morris the door.

Rex Ryan is good for another year. Rookie

Ryan is set for at least another season.

Lovie Smith should probably go, but it seems that Chicago sticks with flagging coaches longer than is necessary. Unlike coaches like Jauron and Wannstedt, Smith has a winning record and has taken the Bears to the Superbowl. Who knows.

JETS up 27-0, yep, Ryan is safe.

Anyone else notice that several of the playoff games next weekend will be rematches of games from this weekend? Philly vs. Cowboys; Bengals vs. Jets; Packers vs. Cardinals. Odd.

Yeah, I don't think I've ever seen this before. This has been a weird season.

Re: Predictions for Black Monday NFL Coach Firings

i think since the browns won their last 4 straight, and that its mangini's first year there, he is safe. Zorn already knows he will be fired and shannahan is in for D.C.

You know it had to be a war of attrition between him and Snyder. Snyder tried to make him so miserable that he'd quit and forfeit any money, so Zorn just kept plugging away knowing that it would soon be over and he'd get his cash. It was a season long game of chicken...and Snyder blinked first.

I like this paragraph from ESPN.com...

"It is no secret that Snyder admires Shanahan. The two men have known each other since the late 1990s, when they attended the same Pro Bowl, stayed in the same hotel in Hawaii, and wound up having dinner together one night."

Sounds like Snyder just has a man crush on him....

Like he had a man crush on Joe Gibbs. Look how that turned out.

Snyder is poison.

Can you imagine Snyder's reaction if Shannahan says no?
Who's next in line?

I would have to assume that this is a done deal or the name wouldn't be floating out there. If it isn't, and Danny Boy ends up with some coordinator no one has heard of, the fans are going to go ape shit.

We'll know a little more at 12:30, but I don't think they'll name the next coach till later on this week.
Bruce Allen said he is starting the rebuilding process "immediately", so who knows.

For the Skins, I don't like the term rebuilding. It implies you once had something. They've had nothing within the last 20 years. It should be "Purge Entire Roster, Start from Scratch, and Try This Newfangled Thing Called a "Draft""

On the radio this morning they said Snyder met with Norv Turner while they were in San Diego, and there's talk that Norv could possibly come back as HC. Makes sense too, he knows the system and has respect here, and he's done great for the Chargers. Snyder's not afraid to open his wallet to attract him back here too.

Someone should ask Bruce Allen the kinds of questions his brother got after their jewish heritage became public knowledge.

Hey Bruce -- how do the bagels up here compare to Tampa?

Hey Bruce -- you join a synagogue yet? (There are actually a couple in Loudou County) Did Danny suggest you join his?

Hey Bruce do you agree with George that your mother made a mean pork chop?

Oh the hilarity.

From a fan blog...

Note: Dan Snyder did NOT attend this press conference!

Assistants’ status will be determined by the next head coach.

Won’t discuss candidates for next head coaching job. Looking for someone who can lead the guys who couldn’t before. Passionate about Skins and football.

Not putting a timetable on it. Just looking for “the right person.”

Last place two years in a row is not Redskins football. Looking to build a foundation to change that.

Has spoken with players and will take comments into consideration.

Coaches and players must work in harmony, so the status quo must end, change the way they do business and possibly add new people to the staff.

Want to be successful immediately. Too early to tell how to make that happen.


Believes it’s best to improve a team by addition than subtraction. Wants to add to what’s already in place to improve the team.

Believes Jason Campbell’s best football is in front of him.

Premature to come out with any final grades on any player.

Says Danny trusts him to make the right decisions for this team.

Thinks the current players can do better than 4-12. Thinks the team has talent and leaders who can step up and improve things.


Sounds like Danny Talk to me. It would appear that they don't have a head coach yet. Wonder if Shanahan is holding out to see how the C'Boys do in the playoffs before making a decision.

Hmph. Shows what you know. If he needs to improve his running game, then how do you explain all the three-pointers he made last game? He batted 295 for chrissakes. It would have been a perfect game if he didn't slice his spare at the end.

I knew Mora would get the axe! So far I'm pretty spot on, save for Man-gina (why the kept him is a mystery). Just waiting to see about Tom Cable.

Mora deserved it for being such a jackass to the team. I'm just surprised the owners relized it so quickly. Word is Pete Carroll may be in the mix.
