Nfl Coaches on the Hot seat
How would it be to be on the hot seat before the season even starts? Not fun if you ask me. Imagine how Lane Kiffin of the Raiders feels. He’s gone 6-26 over the past two seasons though the team has shown some signs of improvement. Al Davis is still the owner there and as long as he is at the top the Raiders are going to be fire happy. They are the opposite of the Steelers who have had 3 coaches now in my lifetime of 35 years.
I think Kiffin will survive for a bit because of the drafting of Jamarcus Russell. The kid needs stability and a chance to play in a system or he’ll be ruined. Kiffin isn’t the guy who gets canned.
The next NFL c0ach is to get canned is Mike Nolan of the 49ers. This guy can’t do the job in a city with a rich football tradition. He has had a few years to get Alex Smith better and some help and it hasn’t happened. Last season was supposed to be when the NINERS took the next step and instead took a step back. Frank Gore faced 8 man fronts all year and the NINERS couldn’t pass at all. Smith got hurt and missed most of the season and that was it. Nolan is on a short leash and I don’t think he’ll make it if the NINERS start slow.
Another coach who i could see being dumped would be the Jets Eric Mangini. He is in a high profile job and took the team backward last year also. He is under the radar right now but if they start slow they may as well dump him especially with all the money that has been thrown around at the free agents they’ve signed. I see some serious issues with team chemistry and it will cost Mangini his job. Do you think when he gets fired he can get hired on to Belicheck’s Pats? Me neither.
