Coughlin
The Giants were trashed by Minny
http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/teams/min/ on Sunday, their fifth loss in six games. They are officially out of the playoffs, looking up in the standings at
Washington, LOL, which won the NFC East; they haven’t been to the postseason since winning the Super Bowl after the 2011 season. The roster is incredibly thin, but that's on general manager Jerry Reese, not Coughlin. But Coughlin will be 70 years old next season. I think Coughlin "retires" with a buy out. He's earned it.
Pettine
The Browns have started three quarterbacks this season, and the Johnny Foosball saga has seemingly become the NFL’s clown face, with Manziel starting one week, benched the next, caught partying on social media, and now being evaluated for a concussion, though another video surfaced of him over Christmas weekend. Under the circumstances, Pettine seems to have done as well as possible although this was a step back year for Cleveland. The argument could be made to give him at least another year (and a less tabloid-prone quarterback) and see what some stability could do for a franchise that’s had seven head coaches in 16 years.
Caldwell
The Lions have rebounded since starting the season a woeful 1-7, winning five of their last seven, including their first W at Lambeau Field since 1991. But 90-year-old Martha Firestone Ford has been fiesty since taking over for her late husband, William Clay Ford, and has said she's tired of losing. That could mean a new head coach but is that the best way to win quickly? Maybe she will pay big $$ for an established winning coach but I doubt it. Not having a GM now may save Caldwell until one is named.
Jeff Fisher (He deserves to be in the Black Monday discussions)
The Rams are on a three-game winning streak heading into Black Monday and are now 7-8. Once again, Fisher is providing just enough hope to make you think his team is on the verge of something. Over his career, however, that something never comes.
Jim Tomsula
Where to begin...in his attempt to be as different from Jim Harbaugh as possible, Tomsula let the players dictate the practice schedule during training camp, which meant afternoon practices so players could work in the shade. True. They also got breaks every 30 minutes during meetings so they could check their phones. ROFLMAO
Mike McCoy
Since a 23-14 home loss to the Pats in Week 14 last year, the Chargers are 5-14. This is his 3rd year in SD and his team is getting worse.
Pagano
On Tuesday, they had to sign two quarterbacks off the street, Josh Freeman and Ryan Lindley? to give them three healthy bodies at the position, along with Stephen Morris, signed off Philly’s practice squad last week. One of them will start against the Titans without knowing the offense but with the Colts’ (tiny, but still possible) playoff chances in the balance. Pagano has been blamed but isn't Grigson the real villain here? Tommy says Grigson is Irsay's guy. In my mind Grigson has to go. I say can them both and start fresh with a stronger minded coach and a less arrogant GM.
Teams needing new GMs, in my mind anyway:
Titans
Browns
Dolphins
Giants
Colts
Chargers
I don't look forward to the possibility of having offers made to Nick Caserio (or to McD either for that matter).
