Football fans - how do you feel about seven (maybe eight if Belichek gets canned) head coaches being fired in the last couple days?

Asked by elbanditoroso (33511points) January 10th, 2024

High pay, high risk, potentially high reward, but then you can be out on your ass if the team loses too many games.

Any sympathy for the newly unemployed?

No it’s the exact same in corporate management so everyone knows when they take those positions, results are expected.

Fine by me, except the NFL talks out its ass about minority hiring but then generally fails to do so. I heard Atlanta was considering hiring Jon Gruden; what a way to reward ineptitude.

And there are tons of Pete Carroll fans out there, but I could not stand him when he coached USC and less as Seahawks coach. His picture is in teh dictionary next to the phrase “smug asshole”.

Jim Harbaugh should stay in Ann Arbor. His brother is the better NFL coach.

To be fair, Saban retired, but yes it is a bit of carnage. It just shows that what matters is results and money. Dominoes are falling.

And for the record Harbaugh is a jackass. I was a big Michigan fan until they hired him. Now I root for them to lose. (I was obviously sadly disappointed this year). I can only hope he jumps ship to go to NFL and I can finally be a Michigan fan again.

The only time I am even remotely interested in football is during the world cup, and that is only to laugh when Germany gets kicked out of the competition again, because they are shit.

I’m NOT a football fan & could care less if they fire every last one of them. It was just announced that Alabama’s Nick Saban is retiring. Did you include him in your count or is it just coincidence he chose now to retire???

@LadyMarissa I was actually thinking of NFL coaches, but some folks started talking about NCAA.

It’s a business. Run by wealthy businessmen.
If DC were run by production, like the NFL, the country would be far better.
Fair or not, coaches have to produce fairly instant results, or owners want the next shiny object.

@ragingloli – they’re actually talking about gridiron football, not association football. Belichek refers to a famous gridiron football coach. Also, this question, though vague perhaps, was certainly for fans of one of the footballs.

This is an NFL thread.
