[Hi, I'm VALUE!]

Most updates will come from NFL.com, but feel free to comment.

Jacksonville GM Gene Smith Fired
Jets GM Mike Tannenbaum Fired, Rex Ryan safe. As a side note to this, ESPN Radio is opining via Adam Scheftner (sp) that none of the Jets coordinators will be back next season, so theoretically goodbye Sparano, Westhoff (retirement), and that guy who pretends to be a DC while Rex calls the defense. Mike Pettine
Cleveland Coach Pat Shermer and GM Tom Heckert fired.
Philadelphia Coach Andy Reid fired. Also, if you can find audio of it, the ESPN Radio this morning Sal Palentonio and Mike Goalik had an argument about whether Reid will coach again in 2013
Raiders fire OC, head coach likely safe
Bears Head Coach Lovie Smith fired.
Eagles Head Coach Andy Reid fired
Bills fire Head Coach Chan Gailey
Chiefs fire Head Coach Romeo Crennel, and no decision yet on Scott Pioli.
Arizona fires Head Coach Ken Wisenhunt and GM Greaves
San Diego fires Head Coach Norv Turner and GM "Lord of No Rings" AJ Smith
Muchak in Tennessee is SAFE
Confirming Crasher's statement, Dallas looking for playcalling OC

We could see news out of Carolina and Tennessee, but that will not be immediate as far as what I'm reading. There's rumors that even Detroit may be taking a second look at their coaches.

Allegedly Gruden's opened himself up to the coaching carousel.
Another busy man - 3 teams interested in Falcons OC Koetter

Heard Andy Reid is gone now.

['7']

Firing Reid is a mistake...philly will rue the day.

Anyway. I doubt he coaches in 2013 after such a difficult 2012 all around. Though if the Jets have another bad year next season, he's the guy I'd want

The DC lackey is just Mike Pettine. He was just a defensive assistant for all intents and purposes.

[Hi, I'm VALUE!]

How did I miss the Reid story? Thanks Manta

Thanks for the correct on Mike Pettine, 7.

More updates: Bears, Bills, and Chiefs looking for a new head coach.

Add in that the Cowboys might be looking to bring in a real OC and let the evil Ginger Genius just supervise all (I'm all for this....I'd love Whinsenhunt if Arizona gets stupid and fires him....)

And supposedly he was the leak for a lot of the unflattering locker room stories this year, according to Francesa lol

I love Andy Reid, but I think he made most of the personnel decisions and not helping the build the O-Line was a huge blunder and also the mistakes on the DC side too. I think he needs a break. He should take off 2013 and recharge.

Lovie Smith didn't deserve it.

[MantaRay]

LOL: Gruden

He has been auditioning for HC jobs since he got on ESPN. He is the worst color commentator in the NFL, constantly brown nosing every GM in the league via broadcast to land a coaching job.

Hopefully, this suck up will land him a job OFF camera, so ESPN can hire someone with an actual opinion instead the flattering non-sense (e.g. "Tannebaum has done a great job building this offense for the Jets and Tebow is going to make a huge impact this year")

Lovie Smith didn't deserve it.

Agree

Agree

Whisenhunt would be a huge win for Dallas. I always loved his game planning as OC in Pitt, too bad he had garbage in Arizona.

Andy Reid is the WORST in-game adjustment coach in football (think the Giant game when they got sacked like 11 times and Reid refused to help his RT out at all in the game)....he's also too pass-happy and doesn't balance things out very well....I'd stay far away from him as a head football coach.....

Lovie's had a lot of OC's schemes and QBs in his tenure, and not too wonderful a result, he's got an aging defense and a one-trick pony offense (that Miami gifted him).... I can see why he was let go also just to get someone in there with a better offensive mind....once you get past the elite coaches, these guys really are a dime a dozen and totally replacable....

[MantaRay]

Reid's track record speaks for itself. Consistent winner.

Updated: the ax officially falls in San Diego and Arizona, but Bud Adams spares the executioner.

San Diego was due, Arizona the Kevin Kolb deal just killed them.

Bud Adams is a loser.

[Hi, I'm VALUE!]

And apparently the Falcons OC is going to have a busy offseason.

And apparently the Falcons OC is going to have a busy offseason.

Why?

[CRASHER]

he's got interviews in KC, Cle and Phily already....maybe Buffalo too

he better get them all in before his team sh!ts the bed in the divisional round.....

Yeah, what Crasher said. That was my witty way of saying we had a new link.

Just went back and looked at last year's coaching carousel thread. I said that Sporano was a "pretty good" hire by the Jets. It was preceded by "coming from a Dolphins fan" so I pray I was being sarcastic at the time.

Others were saying that the Chiefs were poised for a huge year, so hopefully I don't get the award for worst prediction.

I am surprised that Schwartz still has a job in Detroit
