I think Cleveland is making a mistake getting rid of Chud. Whatever they think will make them relevant again I guess.

Doesn't matter, he's a Belicheck guy, so teams will always think that they can hire one and get another Belicheck out of it. Doesn't make sense, but you see it all the time. People put too much emphasis on "coaching trees."

Am glad that Shanahan is gone from Washington, I think he is incredibly overrated as a coach. He went like 40-20 with a SB win with Elway at QB, and otherwise he is around (or slightly under) .500. Coaches are generally like QBs: They get too much credit when they win, and too much blame when they lose.

See: Andy Reid, Marty Schottenheimer, Lovie Smith, Jack del Rio, Tom Coughlin, John Fox, Norv Turner.

All coaches with around a 50-60% winning percentage. Which ones are still coaching?
Coughlin (54.9%) is head coach of the Gaints, and Reid (59%) is head coach of the Chiefs and Del Rio (50%) is a coordinator for the Broncos and was the interim HC when Fox (56%) was out with an injury, Turner has a 48% win percentage and was around 41% when he got hired by San Diego.

Meanwhile while Schottenheimer (61%) and Smith (56%) have not found work since.

joe gibbs?

Would've included Gibbs who has a very high career win percentage, however he "retired" after 07. Whether or not Chainsaw Dan had anything to do with it, don't know and won't speculate, but he also remains as a highly paid adviser to Snyder directly. I suspect that if Gibbs wanted to leave and coach another job he could, but that he likely prefers his cushy gig with Snyder now.

Don't forget that Gibbs owns and runs a very successful NASCAR team. He's done with coaching football.

Not exactly an earth shattering revelation, surprised Jones hasn't fired Kiffin yet though. He did say that Garrett is there to stay, although he's gone back on that before. Phillips is out as the D-coordinator for Texans, but unsurprising after Kubiak was let go.

In other news, Chiefs will have Houston and Hali back on D for the game against the Colts, might be enough to give them the edge. At the very least, should make it more competitive than their last meeting.

And, am I the only one surprised that the NFL hasn't moved the Packers game due to the temperatures?
