Black Monday

[arnie_uk]

Jets have confirmed that Rex will return according to NFL.com

I posted before; he had to go into every game with a gameplan to win with running the ball and defense. They had no threat of a passing attack. Like fighting with one arm tied behind your back.

They need to at least get some pieces on the offensive side of the ball and a good OC

They've just cancelled his press conference there

I think that presser cancellation is just the Woody Johnson's way of telling Rex to just sit back and keep his mouth shut today.

NFL Network's Michael Lombardi reports the Panthers are expected to fire coach Ron Rivera on Monday.

Updating a previous item, NFL Network's Michael Lombardi is now reporting on Around the League Live that coach Ron Rivera will remain "in limbo" until the Panthers finalize their general manager search.

BREAKING: #Bears have fired coach Lovie Smith, I'm told #BlackMonday

Jay Glazer ‏@JayGlazer Just got a call from Lovie Smith conforming what is out there. Obviously he's disappointed


I find this sad.. a lot of families will be displaced.....

Now THERE is a guy I would love to come to Baltimore. He's a fantastic defensive coordinator. San Diego's defense was able to stifle guys like Brady and Manning despite not having a lot of elite talent under his tenure.

Lovie Smith's firing is surprising with one more year left on his contract.

[Darksouleyez]

they announced it on the radio that Norv and the GM is gone from San Diego. I cannot find the proof anywhere though.

Heard the same about 45 mins ago and I haven't been able to find anything online.

Hmmm... just looked up Rivera's wiki page--hadn't realized that I drive by his high school every day. Considering his history in Chicago, though, I have to wonder if he wouldn't be on their short list to replace Lovie.

[HoustonRaven]

Bills just announced they have fired their entire staff as well.

Ouch.

Ryan Fitzpatrick will be next. lol

As head coach? I suppose I wouldn't rule that out, but he didn't leave the Bears on great terms, and why would they replace Lovie with a guy who's just coming off a failed stint as an HC? I would think their sights might be set higher...

I don't see Rivera getting another HC shot right away. I think he's going to need to slide back down to coordinator at least for a few years. Hey, the Harbaugh ties are there--he was the Eagles LB coach from 99-03 when Harbaugh was ST coordinator. I'm sure they had at least some working relationship, although the personal connection isn't really there like with most of Harbaugh's hires.

Pees might be safe anyway at this point, honestly.

5 down and we still haven't officially heard from Tennessee, Carolina, Jacksonville, Arizona and the Chargers. I am betting that there is going to be a surprise in there, an upset special. Jason Garrett out in Dallas, watch.

Jones has already come up publicly and said his job is safe.

Biscotti did the same thing before firing Billick.

I don't buy that.
