NFL coach firing live updates: Latest rumors, news on ...​

32 minutes ago — The New England Patriots are moving quickly after firing Jerod Mayo on Sunday, as the team has requested an interview with Detroit Lions offensive coordinator ...​

We could all see that coming, though I think that the Patriots are going to end up signing Mike Vrabel.

Mayo's after game press conferences did him no favors when it comes to future coaching jobs.

The Patriots also let go of OC Alex Van Pelt. And to think, they could have had Linus and Lucy for peanuts.

That again.... This sucks. I was looking forward to the Ravens' game!
Before the scheduling came out, I was hoping the Amazon game would be GB since I think there would still be an OTA broadcast in my market.
But after the way they played Sunday against the Bears maybe Bezos wasn't going accept that game!
....well, at least Amazon only has 1 game not 2 next weekend.
IMHO, overall, wildcard weekend has the best games of the playoffs.

Ricky... FWIW, so much for Grudens' prediction on the Lions game, hey? If one just were to look at the score, it would appear to almost be a blow out...but it wasn't!
So is it going to be like Campbell said to O' Connell after the game.." See you in 2 weeks"?

no Bobby its not going to happen as Mad Dan inadvertently commented. What is really going to happen is that the upset special occurs Sunday evening. Your Pack is going to beat the Eagles. Yup. You heard it here first ( thanks RP ! )
So then Detroit plays the lowest seed team - and that will be the Packers.

I believe that the NFL playoffs are going to be even tougher than normal this year for every team. All of the playoff teams have won at least 10 games. (OK the Chiefs laid down for the Broncos.)

Plus you've got coaches in there like Jim Harbaugh, Payton, McVay, Tomlin, etc who have been in this rodeo a long time.

Finally, it is a single elimination tournament subject to the 'on any given Sunday' rule.

Also makes it a much tougher hill to climb for KC and DET. The other teams will all be hoping that KC and DET get knocked out ahead of the championship game.

As @JohnN likes to point out, “Nothing is easy.”

Or as the other coaches say about Andy Reid, “Roll us both down a mountain/I’m sure the fat man would win.”

I would wager the other teams hope the favorites get knocked out ahead of the championship game every year.

Wait, wait, I said the Bills win easy. I’m sure the fat man would win is too true though.

Required NY content: Jets try hard and see why they're not worrying me, they're last on my list.
Nothing's Jets easy. (stop me please)

My playoff tune: Go Bills, if they don't, Go Lions, if they don't, Go Chiefs.
Sure, nothing is easy! Bills beware the Orange Crush. (I'm scared) Rams may be the easy underdog.

Enough crap - CHEERS!

Jets plan on interviewing 13 head coach candidates. It would be 14 but Lions OC Ben Johnson said he wasnt interested. WtF? You think they are casting a wide enough net?

Trudeau’s resignation must have sent you into a tailspin. First Canada Post has its troubles, then this. Instability abounds. What’s going on in the Great White North? Thank God you have football!

13 interviews for head coaches? Well that sounds lucky. Why would a bakers dozen coaches want to join the Jets? Maybe cuz they know Rodgers will be gone? And who after that?

Asking for a friend, lol. After two Super Bowls why would you continue to mention the lowly (forever) jinxed Jets? Goooooo Fire Chiefs! Of course we don't really believe in a jinx now, do we, eh.

Just talking about the NFL in general. The Jets goings on are interesting.

I also find the other NY team interesting. The Giants retained Dabol. ???

Yeah, I'm taking a dig at the Jets because of AR. The Giants are interesting, I wish them well.

Too many too, Go Chiefs!
