Down they go.... up to 9 vacancies this time around in the NFL. I thought the worst fire was Mike Tice. He was dealt several bad hands and made a run at the playoffs anyway. He should get another gig quickly...

So far it's been curtains for Haslett, Capers, and every coach named Mike!

He got dealt a bad hand this year, but NO has sucked for years, and they've traded away any talent they had.

Sure a coach with the Tice's stellar W/L record and the way he has run such a classy program should get ... oh wait ..

Buffalo's opportunity to pick up a better coach. Come to think of it, he could play and improve the team.

All these guys get canned and the Lions gave President/GM Matt Millen (21-59 in five years)a four year extension.

Of course the Lions are owned by Dumb (William Clay Ford, Jr.) and Dumber (William Clay Ford. Sr.).

yeah - I guess Holmgren is safe for now but wasn't it just last year they were ready to ride him outta town on a rail?

WTF???? How can he be responsible for what Fred Smoot does off the field???? He went 26-22 over three seasons despite key injuries, having a low budget for a staff, etc, etc, etc.

Unbelievable, that they would extend Millen like that.

Now the one good thing the Lions need to do is bring in Martz as Offensive Coordinator, not as a head coach.

I agree. Martz is a good OC, but not a good head coach.

I never liked Haslett, but if we could trade the owner away we would be in even better shape. What kind of coach can NO expect to get now, other than a desperate one.

I hope you are kidding. That was probably the only head coaching gig he'll ever get in the NFL.

This is not a 3-13 football team.

Yes they are. They lost 13 and won 3.

That's about it. Probably a current NFL assistant. Can't say who.

The three worst owners in the NFL (in no particular order):
- The New Orleaqns car dealer (Saints)
- The Fords (Lions)
- The Bidwells (Cardinals)

No trips to the Super Bowl and three playoff wins between them in the past 25 years.
