88Comrade2000 Posted January 10, 2015 Author Share Posted January 10, 2015 (edited) Well, since we are probably a few more days before anyone gets hired; here's an early look at the hot seat for 2015. It still wouldn't surprise me, if we get a surprise opening before the Superbowl. On the HOT SEAT in 2015 1. Jay Gruden - This guy just isn't ready to be a head coach. Now, that we have a new GM; he immediately jumps to #1 on the hot seat. Frankly, I think he will be the first coach fired in 2015 and probably will not last beyond midseason. That's why it's important our DC hire is someone who has had previous head coaching experience. I am pretty sure our new DC will be finishing the season as interim head coach. 2. Tom Coughlin - The Giants play down the stretch earned him a reprieve. He better have the Giants in the playoffs in 2015, or else 2015 will be his swan song. 3. Joe Philbin - Stephen Ross gave him another year. No playoffs in 2015 and no Philbin in 2016. 4. Lovie Smith - Year one was a complete disaster. Odds are Tampa will be drafting a QB with that first pick. While noone expects winning right away; Lovie has to show the team is heading in the right direction with the new QB at the helm. If not, the owners will bring in someelse to develop their young QB. 5. Ken Whisenhunt - His first year was disaster. He better show some improvement in 2015 or there will be no 2016. 6. Jeff Fisher - Jeff probably needs to make the playoffs to still be the coach of the future Los Angeles Rams in 2016. . Washington, New York Giants, Miami, Tampa Bay, Tennessee and St. Louis/LA are the teams most likely to have openings in 2016.

Destino Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 (edited) Rex Ryan should have learned that he needs a QB to succeed. I wanted to see him go to the Falcons just to see what he could do with a real offense to compliment his expertise on defense. Bills will be the Jets all over again.

He didn't want to wait, he just wanted to be a head coach. So, he is taking the Bills job apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rex wanted to be head coach again so bad; he couldn't wait to see if Atlanta would hire him or go into TV and see what is available next year. So, Rex knows what he is getting into. Coaching again in 2015 is all that matters to Rex Ryan. He jumped at the first team that really, really wanted him. Atantla wasn't showing him the love and may have never shown him the love.

Veretax Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I honestly don't think that Sanchez and Geno Smith are that bad. But I feel like the O for the JEts was held together with duct tape and tire sealant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I honestly don't think that Sanchez and Geno Smith are that bad. But I feel like the O for the JEts was held together with duct tape and tire sealant. Sanchez has strenghts but he basically caps out as a game manager type. Geno is awful. Like, really really awful. Nobody is winning with that guy. Surprised Denver let go of Fox. He's an excellent coach. I guess Elway can smell the roses and knows the Broncos are going to be in need of a mass rebuild. The few young guys they have are set to be FAs and the rest of the roster is pretty old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88Comrade2000 Posted January 13, 2015 Author Share Posted January 13, 2015 (edited) Good call. I can't take credit on this one. There were reports over the weekend from Jay Glazer and others that this could happen and PFT suggested this could happen after the game. 2nd time Broncos have been the surprise opening. You know I wonder, since Jason Garrett is a free agent; does Jerry Jones have to go through the Rooney rule to rehire him? I know one thing, with Fox gone. Peyton is almost certain to retire now. One thing about Fox, who will be in demand. Why? He's a mediocre coach at best. Edited January 13, 2015 by Rdskns2000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drowland Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I'll have to to say it's been a strange offseason with the coaching changes. Seven openings and possibly eight if Garrett isn't re-signed. From the Harbaugh drama to Marrone opting out to Garrett not being re-signed yet after a 12-4 season to Fox being fired after a 12-4 season. How many qualified HCs are out there to take these jobs? It's more mediocre retreads and inexperienced coordinators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veteranskinsfan Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Harbaugh should have made Michigan wait another week or two. He could have had some more options. Hope the 49ers pick a retread coordinator and let Vic Fangio leave. If this happens, then Skins should hire Fangio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, but any coach who elects to PUNT on the other team's 39 down 29-0 in the SUPER BOWL is not an excellent coach. That was just such a gutless, not-playing-to-win call.

Nobody is winning with that guy. I haven't seen enough of Geno to jump to a conclusion on him. The jets are quite the dysfunctional franchise right now. I don't think he's top echelon, and he's got similar issues that RG3 has of holding the ball too long and being afraid to make mistakes (at least the last time I saw him play). I'm not convinced we've seen the last of him in the NFL, but he's not had much support from what I can tell from where I sit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
