Today the Tampa Bay Buccaneers fired their head coach Raheem Morris after the Bucs lost their last 10 games of the season and the team looked like they had given up. It goes to show how quickly things can change. Last year Morris was a Coach of the Year candidate after turning the Bucs around from a 3-13 team to a 10-6 team. Last year Todd Haley led the Chiefs to a 10-6 season and a playoff spot but he was fired after a 5-8 start this season. Use this thread to discuss current vacancies, different candidates, and other coaches you see getting the axe.
The only other coaching change I see being made (other then the ones that have already been reported) is Norv Turner being fired from San Diego. This should have happened a couple years ago but now there is absolutely no reason to justify keeping him. Anything less then a trip to the Super Bowl should have meant the end of his tenure their. I know names like Andy Reid, Jason Garrett, and Mike Shannahan will come up but I don't see any of those guys being let go this offseason.
I'll come back later to discuss some of the candidates for the available jobs but I will say that Romeo Crennell has coached himself into the KC job. With him as interim coach and Kyle Orton at qb, the Chiefs went 2-1 in their last three games including handing the Green Bay Packers their only loss of the season. If it wasn't for Ryan Succop being an awful kicker then the Chiefs would have finished 3-0 and would be representing the AFC West in the playoffs.
