Crennel may get the KC job and Todd Bowles has done a nice job for Miami.

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.

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.

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?

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

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.

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.

The Bucs quit on Morris. Ownership had no choice.

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.
