Steely Dan Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Can anyone remember the last time this happened. Most teams wait til the end of the year. I guess I don't get it. I would think it would hurt their abilities to hire a new HC in the offseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrooklynBills Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I think in the St. Louis and San Francisco cases, they had potential candidates already on their staff, Jim Haslett and Mike Singleltary, respectively, and it's almost like an extended interview for them. Raiders' situation is pretty unique IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Vader Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 The big surprise was Nolan lasted this long. The 49'er fans and radio broadcasters have been calling for Nolan's firing for the last few weeks. They must be thrilled now. Apparently the Niners want to lock up Mike Singletary to a long term contract instead of this being an interim coach situation. Which would be a smart move. Although the best thing the Niners did was not give the head coaching job to Mike Martz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think it would hurt their abilities to hire a new HC in the offseason. I can't remember any time when a team said they were going to fire their coach "next week" because only then it would be convenient for them. Either do it or don't; don't fug around.

JimmyPage Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 It couldn't have happened to a more pompous moron. The wearing a suit on the sideline thing gave an insight to the mindset of this clown. And don't give me any of this crap about Tom Landry or Vince Lombardy, that was a different era altogether where suits were more basic and wearing a suit wasn't formal. Nolan was trying to make a big deal out of himself. A self-impressed ahole, wearing $2000 suits on the sidelines where coaches stand next to 340 pound malodorous offensive linemen reeking of perspiration.

silvermike Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 There could be a major bloodletting after the season. Mangini, Marvin Lewis, Crennell, Herm Edwards, Wade, Marinelli, and maybe Childress could get fired, and Holmgren and Dungy have already announced plans to retire.
