Lobo, why would you fire Coach Schwartz? he's won them more games this year, than we have in 2-3 seasons before? he's a good coach, give him a bit more time. He turned around our D in what, one season? The guy can coach. Plus, its Detroit, the Lions wont shit can him. Now, in 2-3 yrs, if we dont get better, then yeah, maybe, but not yet.

Should have picked him because Al Davis is nuts. Cable did a really good job coaching the Raiders this year. But Davis has fallen in love with the OC and Cable could lose the power play. Al Davis was once way ahead of his time. Now he doesn't have a clue. |

khawk wrote: Angelic Assassin wrote:10-John Fox I'll put up standings later. Let me consider what to do with Fox because we have the unusual situation of knowing his fate while he was still coaching a game. My knee-jerk reaction is to "allow" the points for those that submitted before the 12-31-2010 midnight deadline and to disallow after that. I believe the news of him not being brought back broke on the 31st but the only parameter we had in place was a 12-31-2010 midnight deadline. And the picks were in private so as to discourage copying. If I go in that direction I will bump Angelic Assassins other picks up by one point. Fox was such a "gimme" I can't believe everyone didn't have him as a ten point pick even before the announcement. |

Mangini just got axed. From the USA Today site, The Cleveland Browns fired head coach Eric Mangini on Monday after finishing its second straight 5-11 season under his tenure. Team president Mike Holmgren met with Mangini and relieved him of his duties, one day after the Browns lost their fourth consecutive game to close the 2010 season. "This decision was not easy for me, and it was one into which I put a great deal of thought," Holmgren said. "Although we have made improvements this season, my responsibility is to ensure that we establish a program that will allow this team to compete at a championship level. That will continue to be our goal in everything we do. I want to thank Eric for all of his contributions to the Cleveland Browns, and wish him and his family the best of luck in the future." Hired in 2009 after being fired as head coach of the New York Jets, Mangini went 10-22 in two seasons. Holmgren, hired in late 2009, granted Mangini a second season after the Browns closed his first campaign with four straight wins. But the Browns struggled to move forward in 2010, rotating Jake Delhomme, Seneca Wallace and rookie Colt McCoy through the starting QB position on an offense that ranked 29th and scored just 16.9 points per game. Mangini thanked the Browns and said he felt he left the team in better position than when he arrived. "I have a deep respect for the players that I have coached the past two years and how they have made a profound difference in changing the culture - a tougher, smarter, more competitive, selfless team that never gave up," Mangini said. "Our goal was to build a team for long term success. The core characteristics we were dedicated to, I believe, will help achieve that goal, and have provided a strong identity for this football team and have helped to create a positive foundation upon which the organization can continue to build." Holmgren, who won Super Bowl XXXI as the Packers' coach and coached in two other championship games, will launch a search for a new field boss. He has not yet said if he would consider taking on that job himself. -- Sean Leahy |

If you knew it so far in advance and didn't choose him, that's on you. Mangini getting fired is pretty much the same thing...more-than-obvious that he was gone at season's end, but I forgot to pick him. That's on me. Anyway the picking of Fox by anyone that submitted it before January 1st isn't the issue in my mind, but AA submitted his/her picks after january 1st, and possibly after it had been "oficially" announced that Fox would not be back. that's the only reason I called BS on that specific selection by that specific poster being allowed. Whatever Beej or Claw rule on this is all good. |

I have no problem with Fox not being my 10 point pick. Kind of figured he'd be going but really the last couple weeks I didn't get to pay much attention the the NO Fun League and I was going to put Mangini as my 10 point pick and then some little bird(now deceased) told me not to. Had I been around when Fox was hired he would have been my 10 point pick back then, can't stand him so glad he's gone. Move every else up and if it's cool I give you a 1 point replacement with Roy Hodgson the shitty ass manager of Liverpool my favorite European Football Club. If not leave my 1 point pick blank and maybe someone named "blank" will get fired out of a cannon. It's all good! |

The Raiders weren't downright awful this season, so Cable is probably done. I have a knack for cheering for teams that blow but I've never been a jump on/off the bandwagon type of guy, especially when it's moving. A look at my favorite teams per sport tells you I won't be seeing a championship for awhile. Football(NFL)-Oakland Raiders-nothing since Jim phucking Plunkett if I remember correctly. CFL-Winnipeg Blue Bombers(greasy ass motherfuckers), worst football team I've ever seen except for when that motorcycle riding home Reinbold was the coach for 2 years. My hometown so I have to cheer for them. NCAA-Ohio State Buckeyes-well one team that doesn't suck Premier League-Liverpool(sucking big time this season) Hockey(NHL)-Montreal(stop yer fucking laughing)17 years and counting NCAA-NDFS- the Sioux are also mostly respectable Baseball-Toronto Blue Jays & the no longer in existence Montreal Expos NCAA-don't really follow College Baseball-it can go fuck itself NBA-Toronto Raptors NCAA-Georgetown since back in the Patrick Ewing days |

Standings This has the Fox and Mangini firings in it Not having your contract renewed means "get out of here" by the way Didn't count Angelic Assassin's Fox pick because it came after the 12-31-2010 deadline and he had the opportunity to look at other's picks. Penalized 10 points out of 51 possible - 20% sounds about fair. He can still win but he better be good. It will be interesting to see if the guys that went the hockey route (Lobo, Canadian Horseman) hit on a high percentage. Points there that not alot of guys tapped into. Kudos to Claw for having Fox (10) and Mangini (9). Mangini wasn't a sure thing until yesterday IMO. if the Browns had won they would have saved his job IMO.

beejmi wrote: Not having your contract renewed means "get out of here" by the way Here's something I probably should've thought about before posting... Suppose a coordinator is named interim head coach, ala the Vikes' Leslie Frazier (I know Frazier's probably going to be retained as the Vikes head coach, but play along). Suppose the Vikes decide to go out and hire a new yet coach, yet offer Frazier his old Defensive Coordinator position, which he accepts. Does that count as a firing, since he's no longer the HC, but technically is still with the team? Or how about this...what if the above scenario applies, but Frazier--hoping to get another head coaching position--resigns. What then? |

Resigning isn't the same as getting fired The other scenario won't ever happen (coach kept on board as a coordinator) - that isn't "fired" but it won't ever happen because when you bring in a new coach you don't want the old one there (rather uncomfortable for Mr New Head Coach who would prefer to put in his system for doing things) Getting kicked upstairs is also not a "firing" (they're still with the team) Hopefully no deaths but that also is not getting fired although Claw will give you dead pool points |

Doesn't matter in Oakland, the coach of the raiders should be a default pick for everyone since there's no predicting what Crazy Al will do at any given moment. Davis probably thinks he has a shot at Harbaugh, so he got rid of Cable to create an opening for him. Dumb motherfucker. (Harbaugh is even dumber if he goes there). |

Thank god those fuckers beat Dallas yesterday, though! |

Actually Kobe has been lobbying pretty hard for Shaw to get the Lakers HC job. from yahoo!sports: The Los Angeles Lakers' search for Phil Jackson's replacement has been a hot topic in Los Angeles since the Lakers imploded in their series against the Dallas Mavericks. The Lakers leader on the court, Kobe Bryant, is firmly in Brian Shaw's corner, as is former coach Phil Jackson. Brian Shaw, meanwhile, is scheduled to visit Oakland and interview for the Golden State Warriors position. Shaw obviously knows his days are numbered in Los Angeles and is going to look for a promotion elsewhere. Fellow Lakers assistant, Chuck Person is also scheduled to interview for the same job. The writing is on the wall for the Lakers as we know them: The coaching staff will leave en masse and the team will be restructured from the top down. This leaves the Lakers front office in a precarious position. How much clout does the Lakers front office give one of the greatest stars in the organization's history? Kobe Bryant will already be miffed the Lakers disregarded his preference to keep Brian Shaw and now he will have to adjust to a new coach in the waning years of his career. |

Not what theyve been saying here locally, Bob. if that were the case, they wouldnt let it be known that Shaw was free to look elsewhere for a job? at the very least, why let info like that leak? We all know how 'Jesus" is......Shaw will be gone(if he is the pick), the second they dont win a title..... |

Resignation so it doesn't count. From Yahoo Sports, Florida Marlins manager Edwin Rodriguez resigns ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP)—Florida Marlins manager Edwin Rodriguez has resigned with his team on a nine-game losing streak. Bench coach Brandon Hyde will manage the Marlins against the Tampa Bay Rays on Sunday, but the club will begin a search for an interim manager. Rodriguez was in his first full season as the Marlins’ manager. He became interim manager June 23 of last year after Fredi Gonzalez was fired. He was given the job permanently five days later, becoming the first Puerto Rican-born manager in major league history. Florida went 46-46 under Rodriguez, who opened the season as the Marlins’ Triple-A manager in New Orleans. The Marlins fell to 1-17 in June with Saturday’s 7-4 loss to the Rays. |

Butch Davis Gets The Hook From UNC: CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP)—North Carolina has fired football coach Butch Davis. The school issued a statement Wednesday night announcing Davis’ dismissal nine days before the start of preseason practice. Chancellor Holden Thorp says the decision was not prompted by any changes in the ongoing NCAA investigation into possible improper benefits and academic misconduct in the football program. Rather, Thorp says he “lost confidence in our ability to come through this without harming the way people think of this institution.” The school scheduled a news conference Thursday morning to discuss the dismissal. |

yea!!!!!! Washington State football coach Paul Wulff was fired Tuesday after four years during which his teams won only nine games. “I appreciate all that Paul has done for Washington State football,” athletic director Bill Moos said in a statement announcing the firing. “He was hired with the objective of rebuilding this program and establishing a solid foundation. For that I thank him.” Wulff was 9-40 in his four seasons at Washington State, the worst winning percentage of any coach in the program’s history. The Cougars went 4-8 this season, doubling their win total from 2010. They were just 4-32 in conference play under Wulff. Wulff had one year remaining on his contract and was guaranteed a year’s severance pay of $600,000 if he was let go before the end of the five years. |
