  • ts1227
    Heads will start to roll tomorrow (they may wait til Tuesday if they feel like watching Bowl games instead).

    Here's what's out there so far:

    OUT:
    Raheem Morris (TB) (whole staff)
    Steve Spagnuolo (STL) (and GM)

    Interim to promote or replace:
    MIA
    KC
    JAX

    Safe:
    Norv Turner (SD) wtf?

    Other Rumors:
    Jim Caldwell (IND), the Polians have already been shitcanned
  • Skyhook79
    Crennel may get the KC job and Todd Bowles has done a nice job for Miami.
  • Mulva
    Turner has to be gone. You can't miss the playoffs 2 years in a row in that division with that talent.

    Already a rumor out there that AJ Smith might be gone from San Diego too, and that the Rams would snatch him up as GM and he would hire Gruden as head coach.
  • Azubuike24
    Norv Turner should be fired because they couldn't win their division this year...and that's not saying a lot.

    That was on PFT recently, but Gruden came out this weekend (?) saying he's staying on TV.

    The freaking St Louis Rams aren't getting Gruden
  • dazedconfused
    can't believe somebody beat raheem morris in the pink slip parade

    If Spags and the GM are out in STL, that could effect their draft pick. Maybe the new coach/GM wants "their guy", takes RG3 and moves on from Bradford?

    ^^ its being reported on espn. early tomorrow but no later than tuesday night it will be offical. it will be interesting who they grab as the HC and GM
  • jordo212000
    Morris was on the hot seat at TB right away, had the good season last year and was "great young coach" and now he is back to being garbage
  • stlouiedipalma
    Local sports broadcast in STL (KSDK) is reporting that former Titans coach Jeff Fisher is believed to be the early frontrunner for the soon-to-be-vacant HC job for the Rams.
  • Skyhook79
    Raheem Morris is out. According to Adam Shefter.

    If the Rams could get Fisher, that would be a good get. I doubt they pull that off though. St. Louis seems like a black hole though. I'd be more inclined to wait on a better job than that one.

    A    lso being reported by Shefter that Caldwell and Polian are on hot seat.
  • jordo212000
    The Bucs quit on Morris. Ownership had no choice.

  • Ironman92

  • Mulva

    That puts them on the short list for "pro franchises with the most retarded ownership". Norv sucks as a coach, always underachieves and now can't even make the playoffs with a team that AT THE LEAST should be talented enough to win a division where 8-8 is good enough to be first. And Smith's just as bad at GM-ing as Turner is at coaching.

    Just laughable on just about every level.
