That Seat is Hot

In professional football there are two types of coaches; those who are fired and those about to be fired. Therefore, to educate and amuse, let’s look at the coaches on the way out and those that can stick around for next year.

First are the coaches who’ve coached well despite low expectations:

Sean Payton – His Saints are playing excellent football and he’s used Reggie Bush in ways that maximizes his ability.

Mike Nolan – He’s won more games with less talent than anyone in the league.

Eric Mangini – The chubster has the Jets looking superior to the Giants despite the absence of Curtis Martin.


Hot Seat Coaches:

Nick Saban – A pitiable start from the Dolphins put them in a hole and despite a wining streak the loss to the Jaguars puts them back on the dung pile. Isn’t Nick a genius?

Jim Mora, Jr. – The coach killer may kill this coach. Nothing short of winning the rest of their games will save his job.

Brian Billick – It’s your offense now Brian. You still can’t move the ball.


Coaches on the Express Train to Dismissal:

Dennis Green – Never has one person done so little to garner so many chances.

Art Shell – Wake up from the coma. Please Art, you’re family is worried.

Tom Coughlin – Players are quitting, fans are quitting, and Coughlin should quit.
