Wow, makes this week even more interesting.

 

[CaptTurbo]

Guess the GM figures they are playing the cardinals. They could win without a HC and give the new one 2 weeks to learn the ropes.

 

[Mulli]

Bring him in can't hurt

 

[Dr. Jones]

2 weeks of practice with a scrimmage against the 4A state champs of Arizona in the middle.

Prolly the best time to pull the plug IMO.

GO GET HIM WHIZ!!! Offensive assistant!

Haley will prolly get him though. Maybe Bill gets him back.

 

[WarnerHOF]

Interim coach means blowout new week in the Broncos favor

This was never in doubt IMO

Nah he figured that the McDaniels-led Broncos blowing out the Cardinals could save his job.

 

[football karma]

okay: I call that the strangest timing of the 2010 season -- unless the Broncos send out season ticket renewals in the next couple days

Dallas and Minny theoretically had playoffs to be salvaged by getting new energy in the locker room. What is Denver accomplishing?

 

[Metcalf Rules]

Too bad we're still not in the playoff hunt. We could bring him in and he could give us all the broncos secrets.

 

[football karma]

usually coaches get fired AFTER they lose to the Cardinals --

pretty preemptive

I think we should hire him to take charge of the film department.

Minny had Leslie Frazier and Dallas had Garrent, both guys who're figured to get the call for HC sooner over later.

I'm hoping there's a Marmie-esque lineup in Denver right now.

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

LOL! and he just got the vote of confidence--which is always the kiss of death. Has Whis gotten a vote of confidence yet?

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

if that firing costs us a L i'll be pissed.

 

[Southpaw]

BTW, how is Shanahan doing in DC?

Coaches on the hot seat?

Whisenhunt
Sporano
Caldwell
Turner
Couglhin
Fox
Fisher
Singletary

LOL, how long was his Coaching contract signed for? Maybe we Can dump "The Whizzer' and still salvage next season. Graves would have to go first though IMO.

Whis is not going anywhere.

 

[nashman]

Wouldn't mind seeing him as an OC since we are in need of a good one.

me too.

 

[KenobiOne]

Lords yes! Spygate aside, if he could bring in one iota of that 2007 Pats season it would be unreal! The man has three rings (one as an OC) and fell about 30 seconds short of a fourth. Add in Luck or Newton and we'd be back in it by next season.

Coaches on the hot seat?

Whisenant
Sporano
Caldwell
Turner
Couglhin
Fox
Fisher
Singletary

Not sure about Whisenant, but Whisenhunt is not on the hot seat... he will at least get one more season, if not more...

Whiz has a minumim of 2 more seasons no matter what.

Whisenant
Sporano
Caldwell
Turner
Couglhin
Fox
Fisher
Singletary

These four are by no means on the hot seat and Sporano is probably safe as well.

When the Dolphins owner boycotts the post game team locker room 2 games in a row and tells the public and media that the team is boring and deserved to be booed, the possibility arises that a firing of Ireland and Sporano is imminent. He bought the team as an entertainment vehicle 2 years ago and inherited Parcells,Sporano and Ireland. Averaging 16.5 points per game, at home, is not what he calls entertainment.
