The Texans hired Penn St HC Bill O'Brien. So clearly Wade Phillips didn't get the job, FIRED!

 

Anyone else remember O'Brien getting into a shouting match with Tom Brady when he was an assistant with the Patriots. I like him already!

1) Shanahan -skins

 

2) Frazier-Vikes

 

3) Schwartz- Lions

 

4) Chudzinski-Browns

 

5) Schiano - Bucs

 

6) Phillips- Texans, tho he was the interim HC from Gary Kubiak

 

The count is up to six now. More to follow i think. Perhaps the Dolphins, Titans, Raiders, NY Giants.

 

Apparently, big mouth Rex is safe, as is Jerry's boy Jason Garrett

Five coaches were fired within 24 hours of the 2013 season ending. Three coaching situations remain up in the air. The Houston Texans found their new coach Bill O'Brien just before the clock struck midnight on New Year's Eve.

 

We'll have around-the-clock updates on everything you need to know about the coaching carousel right here:

 

Hirings

 

Houston Texans: The Texans reached an agreement with Penn State's Bill O'Brien as their new coach, NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported Tuesday night, per a source informed of the negotiations. O'Brien coached two seasons at Penn State and was previously the offensive coordinator for the New England Patriots.

 

Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Former Chicago Bears coach Lovie Smith is finalizing a deal to become the Buccaneers' new coach, Rapoport reported, per a source. Smith was the favorite to get the job.

My sense on Mike Munchak is he's safe, especially if he'll listen to suggestions. But no decision yet. Could promote Gregg Williams at DC

The Browns fans have new GM Michael Lombardi along with the Browns owner, and CEO on their shirt.

 

Bills fans could do the same thing with Brandon, Littmann, Wilson on a t-shirt. I don't think new Bills GM Doug Whaley deserves any humiliation just yet, JMO.

 

 

 

In other news, former Bears HC Lovie Smith is the new Bucs HC. He was fired after a 10-6 season in 2012, and he did get the Bears to the super bowl in 2006

 

Lovie wanted to be the HC in Buffalo before Marrone got the job. Just like Marty Schottenheimer wanted the job before they hired Gailey. Whatever....

That's fine but what did Schotty do after the Bills ignored him?

 

Fair question, no?

Schottenheimer is a blowhard just like Greggo Marrone. No Thanks. Smith? I don't know.

[3rdand12]

Perry Fewell has an interest at HC i read. He was DC with Giants wasnt he ?

Last season saw 8 HC's get the ax, and now this year its 7 with Munchak now added to the list.

 

Doubtful any more HC's get fired, but still so many are on the proverbial "hot seat" going into next year.

 

The NY Giants threw their OC under the bus, and if Coughlin doesn't win next year....

He might "retire."

Mike Munchak was fired by the Titans about an hour ago.

 

Turns out he wasn't exactly fired, per Mort. He was actually offered a new contract at nearly double his salary if he would gut his crappy staff. He refused. That was it.

Very interesting.

 

Thanks.

[Mr. WEO]

Very interesting.

 

Thanks.

No problem. I was stunned to hear that today. Did he "stand on principle", as Mort said--or would he just rather coach at PSU?

Could it be both?

Jake Locker's days in Tennessee could be numbered.

[boyst]

Any word on who's looking at Wade? Is he going to go back to a coordinator gig or maybe a HC?
