Merged: NFL Coach/GM firings

Philly not far behind.

http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/8794317/andy-reid-return-philadelphia-eagles-coach-reports-say

Norv Turner is also out in SD

I can see Reid going to SD. He is a So Cal guy and he would have a few years of Rivers left to play with.

Coaches and GM's getting fired

So far the list is:
Chargers
HC Norv Turner
GM AJ Smith
Browns
HC Pat Shurmer
GM Tom Heckert
Chiefs
HC Romeo Crennel
Eagles
HC Andy Reid
My source is the ticker screen on ESPN. All these people have been fired. I wonder who is next.
And to all the people that wanted Ireland to get fired, do you really wanna have a few teams competing to hire a GM?
This is all the more reason to put that talk to bed and realize its best to unite and hope for the best this off season with Ireland as our GM.

Add the Browns

@JayGlazer Black Monday begins. The Cleveland Browns have just fired HC Pat Shurmur

@JayGlazer In addition to Shurmur the Browns have also fired GM Tom Heckert

Jets and Chiefs

@caplannfl Jets owner Woody Johnson announced this morning that GM Mike Tannenbaum will not return to Jets in 2013.

@AdamSchefter Jets announced they fired GM Mike Tannenbaun and are keeping HC Rex Ryan.

@ProFootballTalk Chiefs fire Romeo Crennel, not Scott Pioli

Jets fire GM Mike Tannenbaum

@AlbertBreer Two good names on Jets GM search who have worked there, understand the market -- San Francisco's Tom Gamble and Miami's Brian Gaine.

Interesting.

@MikeMcCartney7 One thing is certain today: the QB position is getting some good people fired

Eagles

@RapSheet: #Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie announce Andy Reid is out: "It is time for the Eagles to move in a new direction"

Part of me wants Ireland to stay because I think continuity is important (and I don't think we've had it even with him, since philosophies changed last season), but part of me wants to risk swinging for the fences with someone else (because while I don't think he's bad, I don't think he's irreplaceable either).

I glanced at some Browns boards this morning, most are glad Shurmer is gone but they wanted to keep Heckert.

Bears

@RapSheet BREAKING: #Bears have fired coach Lovie Smith, I'm told #BlackMonday

Bears

I can't find any confirmation on this. Only thing I can find is that they've submitted paperwork to interview other candidates. But we did that and didn't fire our HC, so... :confused2:

Bills

‏@RapSheet #Bills announce they have fired coach Chan Gailey #BLACKMONDAY

Bears confirmed.

@AdamSchefter Now multiple reports, including from @danpompei and @RapSheet, that Bears have fired Lovie Smith.

Black Monday

Here we are its black Monday many coaches and GM's have lost their jobs. I am wondering if we can have a poll should Ireland be fired TODAY?! After Miami's performance in New England ( I was at the game in full Dolphin attire) of 28-0 showing Miami lacks are really fire power and talent I would vote yes and lets liberate ourselves from the Ireland curse. Is it possible to do a poll ?

It doesn't matter. Ireland is staying. Just pray we pick up Heckert in some capacity.

Wow....maybe we can get Sparano back as an offensive line coach. I know he was so loved around here by many.

if Rose is stupid and keeps Ireland then next will we will see Ireland screw up another draft and beleive he , he probally will .

I have no confidence in Ireland at all.

5 gms that had losing seasons were fired today or it may have been three of them but still Miami isnt smart enough to do the right thinng nd fire the bastard .

**** no

Let it go.
Teflon Jeff isn't going anywhere.
We may as well embrace him and hope he kicks ass this offseason.

There have been lots of polls on Ireland and they all say the same, he should be fired.

Poll or not there's basically zero chance of him being fired but there's no rule that says fans have to have a clue. But it's kinda funny that people who can't grasp the basics of running a team love to give their opinion on how the team should be run.

Between "How I do poll" and Aquafin this thread is awesome on so many levels. Like an AOL chat room from 1997 awesome.

But because you think he shouldn't be fired and you are, of course, an authority and have a clue, Ireland should be retained.
