gone: rivera, BB, art smith
on the line, could be traded: vrabel
safe: allen, bowles, eberflus, pierce
playoff results to determine: sirianni, mccarthy

a loss to GB probably sinks Big Mike. 2nd round loss, eh, we'll see.
we know sirianni's deal
vrabel i think is a really good coach stuck with an aging, terrible roster. losing grates on everyone regardless of circumstance. and its not gonna get any better there.
Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

The case for Pierce not being safe would be if that weird haircut guy thinks he can snag a name like Harbaugh or Belichick.

The players ALWAYS say they love the interim guy and hope he comes back, but this time I think they might mean it.

Smith has already been fired.

The man. The myth. The legend.

Vrabel leaving is intriguing.

As will be where Harbaugh ends up - should he leap back. The Chargers seem to be the ones linked most heavily but Spanos is a cheap ass.

QB Eagles

I thought Smith was a bad coach but it feels unprofessional to carry a guy as your leader the whole year and then shteincan him before Sunday is over, like you couldn't wait until the start of business Monday to rid yourself of him. Seems performative to do that.

Right after the Saints players decided to drag their nuts over him with the victory formation TD too.

Wink Martindale has resigned as Giants DC - there had been some rumors of him and Daboll not getting along.

Come on down to Philly, sir.

That crossed my mind as well. Seth would cream himself. But I'm guessing Jeff/Howie are still fixated on the Vic Fangio bend and break approach, and they'd have to shift away from an odd man front base.

They should be embracing the break your face aggressive defense ala Buddy, Bud Carson and Jim Johnson.

Can't really think of anyone off the top of my head who wouldn't be a step up for the Birds in the DC job. I'd be open to Juan Castillo at this point.

PhillyPhreak54

lil guy standing on the sideline reading a TV Guide and casually calling plays would be a step up

Since Wink is under contract still with the Giants through 2024 they could block him from taking another DC job.

Vrabel the third coach fired. He is likely to be a HC somewhere in the 2024 season.
