2006 NFL CoachingGoRound

It’s just sick. The regular season ended two days ago and already the Raiders (nice column title: Who in their right mind would coach Raiders?), Vikings, Saints, Rams, Packers, Lions and Texans have sent their coaches pink slips and Dick Vermeil rode his tear-stained hankie into retirement again meaning the Chiefs also need a new headman. the Browns canned their president and Lynn Swann is leaving ABC to run for Governor of Pennsylvania (um, yeah right seems like the best response to that whack idea) as a Republican. That’s eight coaching vacancies out of 32 teams!

If there weren’t so many teams beating them to the punch, I wonder if Tennessee and Philadelphia wouldn’t have dumped Jeff Fisher and Andy Reid. I know the Eagles are only one year out of the Super Bowl but that team is just a mess. The Titans have gone down some strange Wonderland path the last couple of years, don’t you think?
