Wow, it might actually be a quiet year for coaching changes. Many had RAC on this list early, that won't happen. So who are the most likely now??

Atlanta: but not of their chosing
Carolina: i still like Fox but he is probably feeling some pressure
St Louis: put them on the list, but i think with the injuries Linehan gets the pass.
Baltimore: I think Billick is done.
Washington: does Gibbs retire? (again)
Miami: the days have to be numbered for Cam- but he probably gets one more year. Parcells will want to have his guy.
San Fran: maybe, but Nolan probably get another year.

In the end, i really only see two coaching changes: Atlanta and Baltimore.

Carolina, St.L and San Fran stays put.

Miami is up in the air. A Parcells disciple would be the replacement if it happens.

Washington could go either way. If I owned the team I'd change it up.

Atlanta should blow it all up and go to a young coach. Still see an old codger hired by Blank though.

Baltimore should have let Billick go and kept Jim Fassle a few years back.
I'd go get Josh McDaniel from NE to work with Troy Smith and revamp the offense. either way, they should go young but I predict a retread in their future.

Kansas City? Herm Edwards gone?

Philly? Andy Reid? Too much personal turmoil as well as team issues?

Anybody's guess.......

I don't see too many this year.

1. Atlanta obviously is the only sure thing.

2. Billick - I doubt it and quite frankly I hope he coaches there forever!!!

3. RAC...thank goodness we will have continuity.

4. Miami - I would think would be the first in line, would be pending on a meeting between Cam and Parcells...will Cam bow down to Parcells?

5. KC - you'd think he'd be on the hot seat. I don't know how he has such a good reputation as a HC, he comes in and usually destroys good offenses and then builds mediocre D's but somehow I think he's safe.

6. Lions - I know they are firing Martz, but that will be it.

7. Marvin Lewis should be on the hot seat as much as anyone else. But I think he'll get one more year. If they are sub .500 again he might be gone.

8. Oakland - Kiffin should stay.

9. Eagles - think most of it is up to Reid.

Right now I just don't see too much change...many teams made their changes the last two seasons.

JMHO

I was watching inide the NFL a few weeks ago when Parcells took the job and they asked King who he thought Parcells would look to hire if he made a coaching change. He said it would probably be someone who Parcells has worked with before.

Guess who the first name he said was.

WOW, this isn't easy for the first time in a long time.. Predicting HC changes is normally pretty tough, but this year,, whew.. even worse.

Miami: I'm thinking that if Parcells and Cam sit down, they will reach an agreement.. cam stays for one more at least

Atlanta: Duh,, yeah we know

Baltimore: Billick should be fired, but I'm not sure it will happen

Philly: Reid has too many home life issues,, the man needs to step down.. but I don't think he'll get fired

Cinci: Marvin Lewis supposedly put his foot down and wanted more people on the scouting staff. He should resign if he doesn't get what he wants. I don't think he'll get fired however.

Detroit: I honestly don't know what to think

St. Louis: I don't think it's right to blame everything on the HC.. Injuries killed them.

Carolina: Fox should be safe, but I don't think he will be.

I'd say that only sure things are Atlanta and maybe Carolina..

Everyone else I think is safe.. Including Gibbs.. I bet he comes back for 1 more...

On the football broadcast today they talked about the possibility of Romeo coaching in Miami reuniting with Parcells. link

I would be flabbergasted at that!

Outside of Atlanta, a few coaches names that I have read/heard being mentioned for positions are Mike Singletary, and Russ Grimm and Ron Rivera. There might be some coaching vacancies that cause some reshuffling but I'd like to see some names go along with the possibilites

I can't see Romeo throwing away what he has built and the chance to lead the resurgence of this proud franchise to go work for Parcells who he knows will bolt that position in a year or two. He's smarter than that!

Yeah, what is this Romeo for Miami's head coaching job talk all about!?? The announcers mentioned it during the game, and it was mentioned in a link above? How would that work anyway? Crennel is still under contract here. Miami would have to give up draft picks to get him, wouldn't they? Is there any more to this rumor? Why hasn't a thread been started regarding this?

Just to add to the scenario, on Monday night countdown about midseason, Parcels was praising Anderson and saying the Browns would be crazy not to sign him long term. Hmmmm, Crennell and Anderson to Miami? Stranger things have happened!

I think Herm Edwards is all done in KC and maybe Nolan in San Fran. Don't ask me why, I have a feeling Cameron will get another shot in Miami

It originated from ProFootballTalk.com which is known for rumors based on nothing......if you look it up on the internet, RAC has brushed the rumor off as something he has no knowledge of.

Actually, PFT's been batting a good batting average the past few years. I'd hardly say their rumors are based off of "nothing."

Back to the original thread:

Miami: . Parcells may do like Savage did and give the old guy a year to turn things around. I would say that he will change if he feels he has a better candidate available.

Cincinnati: . Marvin Lewis' voice seems to be falling on some deaf ears in Cincy. Also, while they have had several "non losing" years in Lewis' tenure ..... only 1 of his 5 years has actually resulted in a winning record.

Kansas City: Ditching the starting QB without a viable "new" starter is a sure way to lose your job. Watching your team develop the "deaf ears" syndrome and drop their final 9 games is just the icing on the cake.

Jets: Could ManGenius be ManGone? High profile job, and a high profile disappointment. I happen to think he'll get another year ..... but I think it's hardly a slam dunk.


Oakland: Well .... Al Davis is still around ..... so never say never .....


Atlanta: Obviously.

St Louis and San Francisco: Not counting Atlanta and these 2 teams, every other NFC team is within one game of .500 or better. Being one of the teams well outside the mean definitely doesn't enhance your long term survival prospects.

You don't know how right you are about Baltimore. I have a reliable source who stated that Billick has been informed and that he has informed his family of his departure from Baltimore.

I know that this is basically a 'rumor' since I won't reveal my source and there is no official word, or link. However, so far my source has been reliable in the past.

Of the others;

I think Herm is safe in KC, for one more year,

Atlanta, of course.

Miami fired Mueller, so is Cam next? It may not happen right away, but I think Parcells is waiting until Dallas is out of the playoffs to go after Jarrett.

Carolina, I believe Fox stays, so many quarterback injuries would doom almost any other team.

Washington - Only if Gibbs retires.

SF - I think Nolan gets another year, he is a classy guy who should get one more year, imo.

Cincy - Not that I think Marvin is out, but changes may be happening and he may be the biggest change or the instigator of the change to a lot of their coordinators at least.

word around here was that he and lovie were never really on the same page...

lovie runs a pretty distinct cover 2 defense, and rivera wanted to attack a bit more...

which makes sense, to why he went to san diego, where they play the 3/4...

if he can learn the 3-4, and couple that with what he already knows, he'd be a pretty damn good DC who could one day be a head coach... he's still very liked around town here

Billick just got fired

Despite his insistence that his job was safe, the Brian Billick era in Baltimore is over.

The team fired their head coach Monday, FOXSports.com has learned, capping an extremely disappointing season.

This comes one day after FOX Sports reported that the players and other employees informed team owner Steve Biscotti that Billick had completely lost the locker room and could not win them back.

Billick was hired as an offensive guru but during his tenure it was his defenses that won for the Ravens, especially their Super Bowl title. Over time Billick was unable to get his QBs to star and his offenses stalled year in and year out.

Earlier this year he proclaimed that he had been given the vote of confidence from Biscottit but that was never confirmed and was obviously not true.

I posted about that above with a link to a Denver columnist not pro football talk (I went to their site once a while back and it seemed like someone writing articles based on conversations they overheard in a bathroom, nothing authoritative and if you throw enough darts at the dartboard eventually . . . .

At any rate, I was puzzled by that because that would be a classless move not fitting the character of Romeo but more suited to a Petrino or Saban . . . .
