EmotionallyUnstable Posted October 10, 2023 Author Share Posted October 10, 2023 I’m taking McDaniels - axed on 11/20…following a blowout loss to the Dolphins leading into the bye week 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBillyG Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 (edited) I don't think we are going to see any coaches fired anytime soon. The 2 that I would say are most likely are Rivera and Eberflus. Chicago has never fired a HC in season. And if he goes they are already down their DC and have literally no one to take over. The Commanders new owner has already put out he wants to see how the season plays out before evaluation. He's not new to owning sports teams and is noted for being patient. Even in Vegas, Mark Davis was seen on video at a game ridiculing fans that were yelling at him to fire McDaniels. And I don't see any way Belichick gets fired in season. Or at all, really. He'll likely "resign" at some point this or next off season. Maybe week 16 or 17 we see a change. But there doesn't seem to be much smoke this season to me.

78thealltimegreat Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 I heard some story that Mark Davis doesn’t have the money for Josh McDaniels buyout. So he’ll be around a. It longer.

They’re short or were short on actual cash in hand or something. I thought there was a story last year they actually didn’t have enough money to continue grudens payments while paying McDaniels if they fired him. But I also read gruden settled out of court on reduced pay or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iinii Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 BB. Week 17 of a disastrous season, Pats lose to Buffalo in Foxboro. Kraft spares Bill from further humiliation the final week in Miami. Belichick has been already looking for another job that actually has some pieces in place unlike the situation he has created for himself in New England.

BBFL Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 Believe Eberflus is out if the Bears have 2 picks inside the top 10, which they probably will. They go a new direction and let the new guy draft his own QB. Possibly Ben Johnson? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Riverside Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 I am honestly surprised that there were so few few votes for Bill Belichick here.

I agree O'Connell will probably be fine... but three of their next 4 are Bears, Packers, Falcons. If 1-4 became 2-7.... I think he might be in trouble.

If Kraft wants him to step down, it’ll be after a private meeting in which Belichick announces his decision to retire. It can be argued that BB is an average coach without Brady, but regardless, he’s got 8 championship rings as coach and DC.

I can see that point of you as well. I personally thought the Belichick was going to retire before he got fired. I was surprised that he actually came back this year. I definitely do not think he will be back next year if they keep losing like this there really is nothing left for him to accomplish.

Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 My question with BB is whether he retires mid-season or not. This thing could snowball quickly for the Pats. They just lost 34-0 at home to an average at best team. They are missing their two best defensive players for some time. Apparently have no QB. And they came into the season with one of the worst groups of offensive skill players. Pats are on a two game losing streak and they have been outscored 72-3 in those two games. They have @ Raiders, vs. Bills and @ Dolphins coming up. This could snowball into a 5 game losing streak if they can't find a win against the Raiders. And a historic minus point differential.

Paup 1995MVP Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 Hands down the worst of the bunch is Rivera. The team barely tries under him. Giving up 40 pts to the Bears at home is a joke. And kicking the FG on 4th and 3 in the second half when down after that great run by Howell lost the team. And btw that new owner Harris is a joke. Laughing in the owners box when your team is losing to the Bears. Not a good look. Can't imagine Ralph ever looking happy when the Bills were losing.

dpberr Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 Mike McCarthy. Perfect weather for a firing - emotional owner with high expectations, media has the high expectations, coach with a team that persistently doesn't meet them. The franchise is glued to Prescott, who isn't the answer. If the Cowboys lose to the Eagles in blowout fashion or the lose to the Giants, Jones may do it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangarang Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 (edited) Tough for me to see anyone fired in season. After the season though, I think the Bears and Commanders are locks to fire their respective HCs. The Chargers are a toss up depending how the rest of the season goes.

The bears have a weird tradition of drafting a QB for a coach only to fire him a year later and have said young QB start over with a coach that didnt pick him. Did it with Trubisky and now Fields. I fully expect them to do that again because its a strategy that makes zero sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have to put their own money in to be able to do things like restructure contracts, give guaranteed money, and invest in staff and coaching. Otherwise the Bengals would have more then 3 scouts.
