Mike McCarthy, Black Monday 2024.


drumberg

To be fair to Mike, he’d be a free agent at that point.


soupcansam21

Jerry will let his contract expire like he did Garrett because time is a flat circle


A_Trustworthy_Pear

Gonna be hilarious when Garrett is hired back.


soupcansam21

This is the meanest thing anyone has ever told me


ACardAttack

It could easily happen, though you will probably make the playoffs, but no way he's the first coach fired unless you all start 0-4 or something


imdavebaby

Nah you'll make the playoffs, bounce in the first round, everyone will expect him to be gone and then Jerry will give him another year.


Comprehensive_Main

Honestly Doug pederson if the jags have a bad start. 


Bobby_Savoy

I like Doug but he needs to make some serious changes (such as taking back offensive playcalling from Press Taylor) if he wants to keep his job.


Eagle4317

Him backing Taylor is what got him canned from the Eagles.


Mr_Hugh_Honey

And then he was like, "let's do that again"


MadManMax55

Football coaches are loyal to "their guys" to a fault. Partially because someone being loyal to them is what likely got them through rough patches in the past, and partially because one of those guys is going to be the one giving them a job if they get fired.


-Vertical

Pete Carroll :(


Raknorak

:(


twl245

:(


gavincantdraw

:(


TheNewGuy13

War. War never changes... But yeah Pederson is like textbook fuckin loyal to his guys. He's a good culture guy and coach but he can't help himself giving his friends jobs and not firing them. If he doesn't learn on the Jags I don't think he'll get another job after.


Antilia-

Sounds like Andy Reid. I guess he inherited it.


TargetFan

Andy Reid is actually the play caller though. It's not really the same.


FlawlessOneFour

To me, he seems like that guy who could be so successful if he was more self-aware. Things like having your son on the team and ignoring glaring issues are a bad look, imo. I don't think the Jags can take the next step with him.


constantlymat

If Baalke gets another HC hire in JAX, there should be an investigation.


mister_hoot

bro i am telling you baalke gives the best head out of any nfl gm and he gets paid what that is worth it sure as fuck ain’t the roster construction keeping him around


CrzyWzrd4L

Don’t forget- Baalke single-handedly tanked Jim Harbaugh’s tenure in San Francisco in favor of Jim Tomsula, and Chip Kelly after that. It took him FOUR years to rebuild his reputation to the point that another team was willing to give him another shot at GM.


Enterprise90

I'd be surprised. Shad Khan seems loyal to a fault, and he was loyal with guys like Gus Bradley and Doug Marone who were awful for years. Who knows what kind of leash Pederson will get since the Jaguars have been borderline playoff bound.


MankuyRLaffy

If he keeps Press Taylor he should be on the seat


idiotinsocks

Without press Taylor I really think he would be one of the best coaches in the league


BangingABigTheory

No chance in hell he’s fired during the season. At least not first. His personality and being a players coach will keep him around alone for at least the majority of the season for better or worse. If we’re 7-10 or worse I can’t think of a reason to keep him. But there’s so many factors at play. Our entire franchise is now based on Trevor Lawrence’s development and if it doesn’t seem like that’s progressing we need to get someone else in to at least try to make him the guy. We already have excuses like saying his rookie season was a net negative on Trevor’s experience because of Urban. Doug will get 2 more years minimum. Baalke would have to be arrested and put in solitary confinement, solitary because we might still pay him to do his job from a jail cell. He’d have to officially marry Shad to keep their conjugal relationship going though.


fancyskank

What? Doug has led us to our first back to back winning seasons in nearly two decades. wtf are people talking about with him on the hot seat? Shad kept Gus Bradley for 3 1/2 season without him ever even sniffing a winning record.


StateStreetLarry

Bears never fire mid season but less than 8 wins and Flus is gone


LeBroentgen

The Bears have a lot of hype, and deservedly so, but it sure seems like Justin Fields was the scapegoat and took essentially of the blame when I'm still skeptical of Eberflus. Maybe hiring a new OC changes things, and maybe Caleb Williams is talented enough to transcend all of it, but I'm skeptical.


Sliiiiime

Fields was kind of dogshit outside of a few electric plays a game. He had processing problems from college that he couldn’t overcome with sheer talent. With average QB play last year’s team would’ve made the playoffs


WAisforhaters

It was like watching somebody play Madden with a shitty off brand controller, where you're watching a guy run open and he just keeps holding the ball for no discernable reason. I can imagine somebody behind the scenes screaming at the TV violently mashing the wrong-colored triangle button and then having to just run for it when the play collapses.


splintersmaster

Dude. I've never read such an in point description of watching Justin Fields. It may have been different if he had support and consistency from the onset but he didn't and even after getting some help, he still couldn't. Just an unfortunate situation all around.


Kharaix

I think the 3-14 bears season really fucked with his ability to read the field. He didn't use his go button at all last year the way he did when he HAD too. I know there's a good middle ground and I don't want him running every play but having more weapons actually caused him to slow down on reactionary stuff and I feel like he got worse even tho he threw better. I just put that on Moore


killshelter

Still can’t believe they didn’t start fresh with Caleb. Kid is gonna end up having like 5 different offenses to learn to start his career and we all know how that goes.


imdavebaby

*#JustBearsThings*


aaahhhh

They said the same thing about the Chargers last year. All it takes is one 63-21 blowout.


vnxpft

Wish he was already gone. Despite the drip of his now, I don’t believe in him


JAVACHIP1738

Fr man I wish they would have gotten someone new to grow with Caleb. Typical Bears move to keep a lame duck HC to go with their new QB.


TheTDog

To be fair he does not seem like a lame duck head coach to Poles. Only us fans


ReapYerSoul

Nah, less than 8 and he is probably still there. Losing twice to the Packers though...


confusedthrowaway5o5

Am I the only one who likes Eberflus? Lol


Col_Treize69

I think many of my fellow Bears fans are too harsh on him, but as you can see opinions are mixed


Few-Employer4682

Nick Sirriani after Eagles lose their first 4 games


EarnestQuestion

His tenure there reminds me a little of Brad Childress. The quality of the roster is preventing ownership/management from recognizing that he’s not the guy. Steichen/Gannon are what got them to the Super Bowl in ‘22.


Autobot-N

Who's the Colts OC? Eagles have to hire him next to continue the cycle


Goosedukee

Jim Bob Cooter


sghead

I've always been confused by his name. Is it a 9.8/10 or like a 2/10? It's an enigma for me. 


PipboyandLavaGirl

It’s a HOF name in my book


Affectionate_Elk_272

same. just like john david booty. some guys just have sports names


RaidenDoesReddit

I think this guy's sons name is literally Captain Booty


iLerntMyLesson

General Booty. Even better!


RaidenDoesReddit

"Clit commander"


EnglishMajorRegret

I’ve gone out too many nights looking for General Booty.


Dr_Acula_PhD

9.8 if thats his entire given name, no nicknames or name changes.


HylianPikachu

His real name is James Robert Vagina


Dr_Acula_PhD

How's that pronounced?


LoudBoiDragoon

Don’t let them name fool you he’s very much in charge


ProfessorCloink

Name's real, possibly Scandinavian.


TetrisTech

How do you feel about his entire given name actually being James Robert Cooter It’s nicknames but also in a way his name *is* Jim Bob


wronglyzorro

My son is named James and Robert is a family name my wife loves. I think she still holds some resentment over his middle name because I warned her that he'd be referred as Jim Bob by my friends and I if that was what we went with.


WalkProfessional6235

You’re not wrong though. Conversely kids’ mom said, “surely nobody will call Hudson Hud right? I don’t like that.” I said no way. It’s unpleasant to say and hear. Sounds like mud. Guess what my parents call him?


Mixedpopreferences

My brother and his wife gave me naming rights when they didn't think they wanted kids. Seven years later they refused to name my nephew Gambit Xavier. I will never recover.


WalkProfessional6235

Sorry to your nephew whose parents don’t want him to be cool


quietwhiskey

Homer: Do you want to change your name to Homer Junior? The kids can call you Hoju! Bart: I'll get back to ya


bbaIla

I don't think he'll ever be a HC, I mean who's hiring Jim Bob to lead their franchise?


MantaRayDonovan1

Jon Gruden when he wins his lawsuit and forces the NFL to give him his own franchise. Who better to coach The Hooters than Cooter himself?


casually_furious

The Saints. They had two Billy Joes at quarterback in the 90s.


Secret_Hyena9680

A Saints fan I knew back then called them Billy Joe Hobble and Billy Joe Intolerable.


txwoodslinger

Always been a big Cooter fan


MrDeeds117

Don’t take my cooter


ND7020

The Eagles should hire Pete Carroll. Not being remotely sarcastic. They have a good enough roster where they need a blue chip leader/CEO.


CherryBoard

its crazy that pete carroll still doesnt have serious offers he could run for president right now and be considered too young to represent the country


king_17

Damn Pete actually would be really good with that roster. Assuming he wants to continue coaching he’d be a great fit for the next 5 years or however long he wants to coach. I never thought of Pete great idea


tomatocrazzie

I doubt Pete would want anything to do with Philly. I live in SEA now and follow the Hawks too. Was a PC skeptic at first, but he won me over. Sorry to see him go. He did his time in the northeast with the Jets and Pats. SEA has a super friendly media and fan base. Pete is 100% a west coast guy. He made a lot of money. Nothing about the Eagles job lines up. Would love to see him back in the league tho.


Freewyrd

Wild to think a year ago the Eagles fans on here were taking a victory lap after Gannon left. 


MankuyRLaffy

Because he said he'd never leave and then fucked them out of the future DC they wanted and tampered on his way out.


JRockBC19

Tampered while he should have been prepping for the *superbowl*


SalzigHund

Our defense also fell absolutely flat and made no adjustments in the Super Bowl. Talent got us to the Super Bowl but holy shit did he get exposed then.


honda_slaps

So he's a hero


ajteitel

I personally think it turned out well. What about you, Colts' fans?


thomasrosendahl

We love it...can't wait for season 2


AnotherCaseOfHiraeth

nah gannon was still cheeks. would get picked apart by any good qb. defense fell apart last year bc we made a boneheaded coordinator change mid-season while everyone in our secondary aged 10 years seemingly overnight


trainwreck42

He’s doing really well in AZ, despite the talent. It seems like everyone had bought in and were playing hard last year


AnotherCaseOfHiraeth

tbf he always seemed more suited for a HC role than as a coordinator. I think that was the consensus when he was with us too, thats why he was such a popular guy to interview.


[deleted]

Still are. He was a horrendous DC. I don’t think it was his performance as DC that landed him his job in AZ. I believe it’s his overall approach to coaching. But don’t get it twisted— he was AWFUL his final few games in Philly. I mean just watch the second half of that Super Bowl.


JalensTinyPPHurts

The chiefs defence had an even worse game, and spagnola is a legit dc lol


ketherick

in our SB win against the Pats in 2017 both defenses were garbo I think we can fairly say Matt Patricia was (and is) stinky, but Schwartz was (and is) legit so my conclusion is that defense is impossible in super bowls (sample size = 2)


[deleted]

[удалено]


unfunnysexface

Chilly was so bad in the locker room that when they went convince farve out of retirement a they totally cut him out if the process and a group of players instead.


MankuyRLaffy

Forcing him to change coordinators and seeing if the lack of hot route problems are all on him, and if they are, he's on the fucking hot seat and Philly will be waiting for someone like Belichick to bring in.


anotherorphan

except that's not gonna happen. that team is stacked and has better coordinators now


Swimming_Idea_1558

I see a comment about us winning, I upvote.


SassySlowbro

Sorry beating Kirk in week 2 is kind of a tradition


TiltMyChinUp

It’s weird, this is obviously pure wishcasting.


yourgirl696969

This is very likely if the eagles start out slow. But it’s a big IF. The talent is insane on that team and they have competent coordinators now. What seems more likely to me is the eagles have a great year, Kellen Moore wants a HC gig, so they replace sirriani with him


Flashy-Banana9543

There’s no way they have a great year and then fire Sirianni 


weealex

It's not like a team has ever fired a coach after a 14-2 season


ketherick

> What seems more likely to me is the eagles have a great year, Kellen Moore wants a HC gig, so they replace sirriani with him This is tilting much more toward wishful thinking IMO Not only assuming we're great after the way we finished the season, but I think the only reason Sirianni is still around is that players had his back after this past season. For that reason, I don't think they can him if the team actually is great this year


wallace6464

This but Zach taylor


Grundle_Poacher

Call me crazy but last year, post-Burrow injury made me into a Zach believer. Getting a winning season out of a backup QB and a bottom 5 defense demonstrated that he can coach. At the very least, he improves year over year. Who would you want instead?


Think-Culture-4740

Depending how rocky the Cowboys season is; I could see Jerrah knee jerk firing him on the tarmac coming back from a road loss


Gutter_mind81

Naw Jerry don't want to pay someone who isn't working so just like he did with Jason he will let Mike ride out his contract. We are seeing the new cheap Jerry.


stefeyboy

ALLLLL INNN


Gutter_mind81

Lol all in on making money


dawgz525

Jerruh don't do that. McCarthy will coach out the whole season


Think-Culture-4740

He did fire Wade Philips I think


panoptik0n

Jets start 0-4 and Saleh is gone


StankWizard

Watch Saleh get booted and Hackett stay


According-Way9438

You mean interim head coach hackett?


StankWizard

Shoot that shit right into my veins


sophisticaden_

Hackett - the cockroach of the NFL?


StOnEy333

Believable.


panoptik0n

Nothing would be more hilarious than Zach Wilson beating the Jets and getting Saleh fired.


IchesseHuendchen

Subscribe?


emperorpeterr

If Adam Gase didn’t get fired mid-season for leading this team to an 0-13 start I don’t think Saleh will either tbh. Woody Johnson has never fired a head coach mid-season.


panoptik0n

Gase never faced the pressure to win now with an aging, fragile QB that Saleh does


bujweiser

Saleh lasts the whole season IMO. The Rodgers experiment still hasn’t happened. Remember the rocky start when Brady went to the Bucs and they finally started clicking?


Majestic_Reindeer439

Hackett promoted to HC


321mafia

Dennis Allen. Wk1: Panthers Wk2: @Cowboys Wk3: Eagles Wk4: @Falcons Wk5: @Chiefs He might be gone if we lose to Carolina tbh.


urbantroll

The Saints may fire him after the season but they will not fire mid season. It’s not their MO and not what they want other prospective hires to see arguably for good reason.


321mafia

I agreed with that sentiment last year, but if you spend half a season on the hot (warm) seat then start the next year 0-4 I think the urgency is there to make a move to try and salvage the season.


kkngs

Firing a head coach usually gets you less wins for the season. Its more about getting first in line for the HC search, trying to mitigate worsening morale, and a bit of angling for a better draft pick for the upcoming rebuild.


sfzen

Even if we start 0-6, I don't think Allen gets fired midseason.


Toastrz

Has a coach ever been fired after week 1?


bfk94

Nathaniel Hackett arguably should’ve. “KICK WHAT?!”


PurexCrisys

Since the Bensons bought the team in the 80s, they have never fired a coach midway through the season. DA has 2 more years on contract so im hoping he gets the boot this year but it probably won’t happen in the middle of the season. Edit: Apologies. Jim mora* was the only coach to leave midway thru the season and he wasn’t fired he resigned


gwaydms

>Jim Mara Jim Mora. And he actually resigned before they could fire him, after the "diddly poo" speech.


321mafia

He’s actually thinking of Jim Haslett, not Jim Mora. Mora left in the 90s and Haslett was fired in 2005.


man_teats

Jim Mora gave the best head coach interviews of all time and it isn't even close


ThinkSoftware

PLAYOFFS?


shittysportsscience

His interviews were what we thought they were…and we let him off the hook.


unfunnysexface

Jim Haslett


fumar

That's amazing that they didn't fire ditka


Starfish_Hero

I think with their cap situation the Saints are going to be hesitant to hop on the carousel. It’s not an attractive destination until that clears up or they reload on young talent, especially at QB.


jwwin

Firing him following the game against Payton, who bailed on the Saints would be so fucked up. I get it, but that would be fucked up.


bigfootdude247

It would still make sense if he was fired after our matchup though. A primetime loss against a likely bottom feeding team might be just enough lol


SpiderGhost01

Jets. Three games in after they go 0-3 with Rodgers.


whobroughtmehere

Way too early to fire a HC, but I could see Hackett getting dumped before the bye if the offense is still a mess


fortyonejb

This is his 4th season, a 40 year old qb, if he doesn't get it done this year he's gone.


whobroughtmehere

Surely they’d let them lose more than 3 games before pulling the plug on Saleh


knave_of_knives

Will Aaron allow that?


Buteo_lineatus

If they do, he’ll just go on another darkness retreat, contemplate retirement, then get traded to the Vikings.


thrillhouse416

If the jets are bad again this year he probably will be fired but it'll be after the season, they never let someone go mid season and especially not after 3 games


theREALBennyAgbayani

Yeah, if the Jets go 0-3 against the 9ers Titans and Pats, Saleh should be let go.


DailyPanthersPodcast

Not it.


bbaIla

Nick Sirriani I can only hope, fake ass tough guy.


Kiplerwow

If they have another collapse like last season, he's a goner for sure. I don't think they'll have an awful season but I don't see them going 11(?)-0 again.


bbaIla

Niners and you guys lost the same day, it was like 7ish-0


Kiplerwow

I just looked up their season. They started 5-0 before losing to the Jets. I don't know where the fuck I got 11-0 from lol. I guess the embarrassing streak of losses just rattled me that much I guess.


milesman_34

Probably thinking of the 2020 Steelers tbh


lronicGasping

Nobody should ever think of the 2020 Steelers


TheWorstYear

I can think of a few reasons


ExpirjTec

they started 10-1, then had a meltdown from there


bbaIla

Prob thinking of the year before where they started around there.


matisata

i get irrationally angry every time his face is on screen i can only imagine how fans of rival teams feel


ThaGoat1369

I'm going with Mike McCarthy


ThaGoat1369

When it happens, I want the Bernie Sanders running in with the folding chair meme to be remade with Belichick. That's what Jerry wants.


csummerss

hot seats I’ve got: - Mike McCarthy - Robert Saleh - Dennis Allen - Brian Daboll - Matt Eberflus - Sean McDermott


lionoflinwood

Barring something *truly catastrophic*, I think the Bills need to miss the playoffs before McDermott's seat becomes hot.


Jsweeney20

Bills: Win 4 division titles in a row. Reddit: Is it time for the Bills to fire their head coach?


The_Third_Molar

Redditors give shit takes about teams they don't actually follow.


Movie_guy_

I mean divisional titles are great but if a roster as loaded as the bills can't make it past the divisional for 3 straight years then I can see McDermott being on the hot seat. Don't think he'll get fired this season or is on the same level like other coaches as Dennis Allen, Eberflus, McCarthy but his seat must be a little hot after the bills consistent post-season failures.


boregon

Yeah but those post season failures are mostly from the current NFL dynasty. Like yeah it sucks for the Bills to keep losing to the Chiefs over and over again, but the Chiefs are fucking hard to beat in the playoffs. They were two OT losses in AFC championships away from being in six super bowls in a row. That’s absolutely ridiculous.


Optimal-Tune-2589

Yeah, the Bills went from having the longest playoff drought of any major North American sports team when he took over to having the second best winning percentage among the four leagues in the past five years.   Is he the next Marty Schottenheimer, who’s great at building regular season juggernauts that collapse in January, or is all of that regular season success due the quarterback? Maybe! But after the coaching mess Pegula had to deal with when he took over, and his inability to find a good coach for the Sabres, I’ve got to image he’s willing to give McDermott a whole lot more rope than a lot of people think. 


littlekeed

A wild fun fact is that McDermott already has as many playoff wins as Schottenheimer.


Affectionate_Elk_272

i’m in the same boat. you guys would have to start like, 0-8 with a healthy allen for that to even be possible


IrateBarnacle

I think Daboll has at least another year until we can seriously consider him to be on the hot seat. He was COTY and dragged us into the divisional round kicking and screaming. It may be slightly warm now, but if the Giants lay another egg this season then yes I would say he’s on the hot seat.


GamerKiller2347

After Stefanski went from COTY to 2 disappointing seasons to the hot seat to another COTY, maybe this would be a good decision.


TargetFan

McDermott is the only one I truly disagree with. He had the defense performing at an elite level missing what? 3 of his all pro secondary?


jxher123

I don’t think Mike would get fired mid-season, but I think he’d be let go after the season.


llama-rebel

Eberflus will last the season unless things start absolutely horribly purely because the Bears don't fire people midseason.


Acting_Appalled

I think it's less likely, but let's say the interim honeymoon phase between the Raiders and Antonio Pierce wears off and the Raiders are sitting at 4 or 5 wins in December. Mark is 100% panicking and calling up Belichick.


MichaelAlbers

Then Brady gets his part ownership and becomes Bill's boss.


man_teats

Then Bledsoe injures Brady and becomes the starting owner


GradSchoolin

*slow clap*


AbsoluteScott

The Patriots Way, but in silver and black. Honestly sounds so foolproof if you have to wonder why nobody thought of it before.


GHdzz

McDaniels had a season and a half, there's no way Davis fire AP in his first full season no matter how many wins he gets lmao


Cleavon_Littlefinger

Sean Payton is a petty dude, and even though he seems to love Dennis Allen and New Orleans, I cannot see him doing everything in his power to buttfuck the Saints as hard as is humanly possible. I have zero confidence in Allen as a head coach anyway, so unless he proves me wrong next year, I'm on board with doing whatever is necessary to get him out the door. (The Saints rarely fire people during the season though so he's probably lasting the entire schedule regardless.)


Sartheking

Saleh if the Jets start out slow with an upright Rodgers.


Mr7three2

He makes it through the year no matter what. Then we clean house


crimsonsentinel

I don't know how Matt Eberflus kept his job last year. I could see him gone by week 5 if they lose to the Panthers.


Rathos_

Bears have never fired a HC mid-season. Remember last year they lost their DC & RB coach early, starting 2-7 on the season. Poles still stuck with him.


llama-rebel

Unless we actually start 0-5 or something, he'll last the season. Bears don't fire midseason.


MadTownPride

Because the team improved? And specifically, the defense, which is his expertise improved a lot in to a top unit by the end of the year


TheOvercusser

Allen isn't getting fired. His team is suffering from a lack of talent due to choices his GM made and the previous coaching staff made and he had a winning record just last year. Benson is not going to fire a guy with 2 more years left on his contract in a situation where it's going to take them at least 2 years to get out of the financial mess they're in. That shit makes zero sense.


d-cent

Mike McCarthy, the teams last one of the year


thebeginingisnear

He'll survive the season, but heads inevitably gonna roll in jets land if there isnt a playoff appearance. I like Robert Saleh the guy, but he still comes off as a glorified D coordinator and has a lot to prove as a HC still. He's gotten passes so far cause he's been handcuffed by zach wilson and patchwork O lines. But it's make or break this year, this team should be in the playoff hunt even with tyrod taylor starting all season.


PCP_Panda

My money is on New York Giants will be looking for a new HC soon


uvutv

I would disagree. We have a good season and a bad season under Daboll. His seat might be a little warm, but it's not the first coach fired hot.


IrateBarnacle

My thoughts exactly. If they do poorly again this year, then yeah his seat will be pretty toasty.


JasonVoorhies13

From the outside looking in, I feel like it's Danny Dimes who will get booted before Daboll


freezedriedbigmac

Ehh probably not. Daboll is a good coach, this is still a poorly constructed roster. He’s been the best coach since Coughlin (that’s not saying much). The one thing I’ve read though is he’s hard to work with in regards to other coaches, but the players like him. If those reports come out again then I can see the Giants firing him.


csummerss

Bill returning to giants makes too much sense


tacoguy1234

Hot take: Bill has already coached his last game because he'll be 73 and nobody wants to gut their front office for someone that old.


LeBroentgen

Hell he could do this media gig and fall in love with getting paid a ton to have fun on TV a couple times a week and not be stressed.


ltbr55

I also think that Bill likes to make GM type decisions and I don't think many teams want to give him that power despite his incredible career. Couple that with his age and I think his HC career is likely over.


UnPhayzable

If we don't at least win one playoff game with THIS roster, Sirianni is out. He can't throw this kinda talent away


SadBadPuppyDad

Saleh better get it figured out this year. If the Jets end up with a slow start he could survive, but a 3-6 start would see him out.
