Having been a Phila Eagles season ticket holder for several years before moving to Vegas, I say good riddance Andy Reid. 14 freaking years of unfulfilled promises. This is about 3 years overdue. Likewise for Lovie Smith. For 9 seasons, the Bears were always supposed to be one of the better teams and most years they came up far short of expectation. The rest are basically re-treads. They will turn up again somewhere in the year or two as a coach or cordinator.

While it is not impossible to turn things around quickly (See 2012 Colts), Eagles fans may long for the days of Andy Reid unless they get lucky turning over the roster.

Seriously?
Coughlin has won two Super Bowls, he is there until he decides to leave.
Garrett has done poorly enough to be fired yet, and is Jerry's boy. He's safe.
Cowboys aren't going to win anything until they build an offensive line.

So I assume that this means that the Jets will continue to lead the league in talking about going to the Super Bowl?

He's out if he doesn't make the playoffs next year.

Fortunately for the rest of us, Jerry's also safe :P

If and when Tom is fired by the Giants, other coaches will be fired just so a team will have an opening to be able to hire him. He will retire before he is fired as long as John Mara is part owner.

Firing Tom Coughlin would be absolutely insane. I agree, there will be a long line up to pick him up.
I wonder what's going to happen when Gruden decides to coach again. Lots of teams will be competing to grab him too.

Word is that Jerry is going to "ask" Coughlin to get an OC with play-calling authority.
