NFL Coach Update


Here is a quick update on the NFL’s coaching shuffle.  As previously discussed on the threekbros “NFL Coaching Changes” podcast, the gang provided a list of AFC and NFC teams with coaches on the hot seat.  Now that it is Black Monday, many coaches have started to get the axe.  Some more humorous than others.
Below is a table S, J, and N did with odds of ouster.  And as of 8:30 pm (EST), the latest firings.

Odds Coach would be Fired / Not Retained
Insight
Steven
Justin
Nathan
AFC
NY Jets
Sexy Rexy (Rex Ryan)
60%
65%

Nathan wins. After the Jets Week 17 victory over the Dolphins, the J-E-T-S announced the Return of Rex.
Tennessee Titans
Mike Munchak
75-80%
90%
30%
Munchak has a meeting with Titans brass later this week.  He is firmly on the hotseat.
Houston Texans
Gary Kubiak (Fired)
Wade Phillips (Interim)
100%
Phillips will not get the job.  Frontrunners for the gig are current Penn State coach Bill O’Brien and Chargers OC Ken Whisenhunt.
Oakland Raiders
Dennis Allen
60%
15%
55%
The Davis family is a wildcard.  The HC is always on the hotseat.
Cleveland Browns
Rob Chudzinski
????
The threekbros missed this one.  We didn’t think a one year HC would get the axe.  However, it was clear by the end, Chud had lost the team.
NFC
Dallas Cowboys
Jason Garrett
40%
25%
70%
America’s team misses the playoffs again. King Jerry has said that Garrett is safe…but we’ll see if he has the patience.  I like Justin’s odds.
NY Giants
Tom Coughlin
10%
45%
80%
I don’t expect a quick decision on this one. As discussed, we think Coughlin will ponder retirement.
Washington Redskins
Mike Shanahan
70%
90%
20%
As Justin correctly predicted, Shanny got the axe.  This team is in a downward spiral and basically mishandles everything.
Detroit Lions
Jim Schwartz
90%
100%
80%
Justin wins again.  Schwartz got fired and Detroit is now in competition with Houston for the best job available.
Minnesota Vikings
Leslie Frazier
90%
1%
80%
Steven was closest on this one.  Frazier got fired in what is an unpopular move with the players.  The new HC will have their work cut out for him to gain the confidence of the team.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Greg Schiano
????
We missed this one too.  The team improved over the season but laid a couple eggs at the end of the year.  GM Mark Dominik also got fired as the team cleans house.  Does Lovie love Tampa?

So here are the scores so far:
Justin  2
Nathan 1
Steven 1
