The chopping has begun...

Vikings clean house - HC Mike Zimmer and GM Rick Spielman fired.

Bears HC Matt Nagy fired.

I came in here to say the same thing. Maybe the want the first pick in the 2023 draft.

The Dolphins are the softest team in the NFL. Tua hater starting 12/11/22.

That’s the only explanation (and a real possibility if he coaches the whole year next season) - he is one of the worst coaches I’ve ever seen at this level.

So, you're saying that Naggy and Pace are available? Or maybe Zimmer and Spielman?

A terrible play call, terribly executed.

The Giants GM job should be really appealing. They have the #5 and #7 picks in this year's draft, plus two picks in the 3rd round too. Five picks by #81 overall, and given that its a terrible year for QBs, I could see them trading down and sending picks into 2023 also. That would make the HC job very appealing a year from now.

Good for Flores. I hope all the best for him. Whichever team hires him may he lead them to the playoffs.

If you thought Miami was dysfunctional, the Giants are setting the standard. Not being as bad as the Giants is a really low bar though.

They are following similar patterns, though - a once proud franchise that has fallen into ruin due to poor drafting, dismal OL play, less than stellar qb production, and head-scratching hires at the HC position

If Flores couldn't get along with Grier I am looking forward of the trainwreck of him and Easterby

The stars are aligning for Watson and Flo inn Texas I called it few days ago once Flo got fired. He gets his QB a good weather town for his family, and more control. He will be in playoffs before Miami

Can’t stand Ireland but Flores would be a great hire for Chicago. Assuming they don’t have an owner who likes candy canes, nice words and lollipops.
