    Week 2 "WHO'S COOKIN' ON THE HOTSEAT?/FIRE THIS COACH!" Watch

    5. Vic Fangio: Hiring a first year head coach at an old age last year had people wondering if Fangio's "old school" approach would connect with his players. They went a forgettable 7-9 last season after some luck with Drew Lock down the stretch. Well... they're looking at Jeff Driskel for several weeks, so that's not a positive for a team who's already 0-2.

    Worse, Fangio has already made headlines this off-season for some out of touch comments on race, and now he's refusing to wear a mask on the sidelines, costing him a $100K fine from the league, and getting the Broncos fined another $250K. When on-field woes meet with giving the team a black eye off the field... Fangio might only get 2 years in Denver.
    4. Dan Quinn: Also a team winless in its first 2, Atlanta has gotten an annual "Dan Quinn meltdown" game out of the way, blowing a big 4th quarter lead to Dallas, including with a blunder on an onside kick recovered by Dallas that is best described as, "The Falcons know you're supposed to recover those, right? GET ON THE BALL." Quinn is the longest tenured coach on this list, and has the stigma of 28-3 on his resume, as well as blowing a game to Arizona last year on a missed extra point. Atlanta, under Quinn's leadership, has been regarded as a waste of the back half of Matt Ryan's career, and the prime of Julio Jones' as well. This defense just does not make strides towards becoming anything better than mediocre since he took over, and that's sad because he's a defensive coach.
    3. Bill O'Brien Texans are 0-2. You traded away DeAndre Hopkins, who is killing it in Arizona. J.J. Watt is losing his cool. The end is near...
    2. Matt Patricia: Probably never should have been hired, had the Lions done a decent background check. They're 0-2 this year, after his 18th blown 4th quarter lead in Week 1, and then getting boat-raced by the Packers in Week 2. It seems unlikely he gets more than a third year as head coach, assuming he makes it through this season.
    1. Adam Gase: No one believes in this guy in that locker room. The Jets are 0-2, and just lost to a 49ers team that was missing its top 2 WRs, it's Pro-Bowl TE, and by halftime, was down its starting QB, RB, and top to DEs. And they didn't just lose to San Francisco, they got handled. By second-stringers. This team has quit on Adam Gase.

    Raiders give me my best 31st BDay present today with a W

    Now all of Raider Nation will remember the 21st Night of September

    Captain, in Order to build a better world, sometimes means tearing the old one down... And that makes enemies.

    Worthy candidates all. Forgot about Fangio who's out of touch in more ways than one, will John Elway keep him around even if the Broncos flounder? As for O'Brien, I can't help wondering why the owner signed off on trading Hopkins, Deshaun Watson's top weapon. That was crazy.

    With all these coaches, I'm wondering if there won't be midseason firings at all because of Covid-19 making it more of a hassle to have a guy clean out his office and bring in/promote an interim guy.

    In any other year, the Top 3 on my list would be potential BYE week firings.

    Well, if a situation gets too bad or too embarrassing, a team is bound to pull the trigger, regardless of the situation with COVID-19.

    Meanwhile, this was bound to happen after Sunday's carnage in the Meadowlands:

    Bill O'Brien ain't goin' nowhere, he's the GM too. His power grab worked and it's going to take more than 6-10 to get him out. This is not now nor ever been a greatly forward thinking franchise. If you know you know and kicking out Hopkins and then making misleading statements for why was the biggest shoe to drop. This is a guy who will cut off his fat nose to spite his fat face and as a Colts fan I'm not frontin' but a guy like this waters down the league. Can't wait for him to go play pigskin dictator in D2.

    If the Eagles lose again and start 0-3, Carson Wentz might get benched in favor of the rookie.

    Don't see that happening. Wentz is considered a star QB for the team. Things would have to get Mitch Trubisky bad for that to happen.

    Agreed. Wentz will be given all the rope he wants. Turning to Hurts (whom the Birds shouldn't have drafted as quarterback was NOT an area of need) would be an admission that the front office and the coaching staff have given up on the season, that wouldn't go down at all well in the locker room, especially after just three games.

    Well it never hurts to have a young QB you develop on the roster for trade use later. Or if said starter goes down. Lets be honest here , Hurts has more upside than Nate Sudfield and with Wentz injury history they had to have that guy there.

    Seems highly unlikely at this juncture. I think, even as supposedly impatient with losses as Philly fans are supposed to be... Doug Pederson still called the Philly Special. His O-Line is decimated right now. Even with an 0-2 start, I think the franchise will be patient with him. More so that the 4 guys I named.

    That may be, but he might not get to 6-10. Even with 2 games against the Jags.

    The NFL leveled more fines. Saints and Raiders both got dinged. Which I find odd that Sean is not taking it more seriously since he had Covid.

    He likely doesn't believe he can re-catch it again. But it can happen as we have heard.
