Coach on the hottest seat?

Splat · 06-10-2008, 10:40 AM

I'm going with Scott Linehan.

JetMan · 06-10-2008, 10:46 AM

i was going to say linehan but was beaten to it, so i will say Nolan instead.

Staubach12 · 06-10-2008, 11:00 AM

Mike Nolan, most definitely. He has to win, and soon.

JT Jag · 06-10-2008, 11:06 AM

Lane Kiffin.. if only because of who his boss is.

Gay Ork Wang · 06-10-2008, 11:07 AM

Marvin Lewis

NY+Giants=NYG · 06-10-2008, 11:11 AM

What about Mangini? I would say he needs to turn it around as well.

I think the good grace period of him doing well that first year is done. He had such a great first year they dubbed him Mangenius, and now that is all done. Now more of that, because of the step back they took. All bets are off, and now he needs to rebound. Let's forget how he caused drama about calling the pats cheaters and what that brought. So in my opinion, he needs to step it up, because I don't think NYJ would have patience to settle for another bad year.

I would put him on the warm to moderate hot seat if anything. But if they don't do well next year, crank that baby to high.

Mike Nolan
Just a couple years ago the 49ers seemed like a young team on the rise. But after a couple years of adding big free agent contracts the pressure is on Mike Nolan to compete for the NFC West crown. Taking into consideration all the big contract free agents these two past offseasons, if he has back to back bad season I don't think he will be the 49ers coach anymore.

John Fox The Panthers were a very big disappoinment last year, but that can partly be blammed on delhomme going down. This year they still have pretty good team that should be competitive in the NFC South so if he has a bad year this year it could be goodbye Mr.Fox, hello Mr.Cowher.

Marvin Lewis Taking into consideration all the scrutiny the Bengals orginization has recieved over the past for years for their players off the field incidinets. Add to that possibly a couple of back to back disappointing seasons one can only wonder when they will let fire Marvin Lewis, and start a new era in the Bengals history.

Those three guys are all on the hottest seat to me, but if I had to choose one above the rest it has got to be Nolan.

Also I really don't see Kubiak on the hot seat at all he has a young Texans team that is on the rise. Maybe if they perform very badly this year he may be on the hot seat next year. But I don't see him on the hot seat this season

Herm Edwards as well, the Chiefs seem content going into full blown rebuilding mode with him at the helm. In my opinion it wouldn't make much sense going through just a year of rebuilding and than getting rid of him.

Scott Linehan very well could be on the hot seat in St.Louis, however I don't see it hot enough to put him in the convo with some of these other coaches. Scott Linehan was what 9-7 in his first year? Last year the rams dealt with an abnormal amount of injuries that combined with the some what successful first year earns him a mulligan for last year in my opinion.

Good post and just FYI some of the guys I put in the poll I agree there seat is not really hot I just wanted to fill up all ten poll spots and get a good debate going.

The Great Jonathan Vilma · 06-10-2008, 12:24 PM

Marvin Lewis and Nolan are the first that come to mind. Marvin has been given his time and he has proven nothing. That team is once again a laughing stock due to the constant losing and the questionable characters that have been brought in, if he doesn't do something this year, he is gone. period.

Although Nolan obviously doesn't get along that great with Alex Smith, he is stuck with him, and that may not be a good thing. That offense was brutal regardless of who was in last year. He had some problems in the media, and obviously the team did not gell and take the step it was expected to. It is obvious that he is in trouble.

I don't know about Mangini, i think he has 2 seasons (maybe 1 1/2) at least because he just now got the pieces to his defense and will get a chance to use the QB that was drafted in his tenure. Tannenbaum is said to be with him for beyong this season regardless also to see the whole plan through (doesn't mean a whole lot in reality, but you never know). They did give him plenty of Free Agent help, so i can really go either way, i just for some reason think that he has beyond this year. then again i think the team will win 6+ games, so

Lane Kiffin is a possibility also, given that Al Davis and him apparently no longer see eye to eye, including the issue of Rob Ryan as a defensive coordinator

CJSchneider · 06-10-2008, 12:32 PM

If Mike Nolan can't get his offense going and win some games, he's going to be drawing an unemployment check.

Tha Boss · 06-10-2008, 12:42 PM

Shanahan is no where near a hot seat, Denver could go 4-12 this year and he wouldnt be fired. He pretty much has the job until he retires, or if he has something like 5 seasons in a row below .500. Either way its not going to happen.

eaglesfan_45 · 06-10-2008, 12:47 PM

Andy Reid's seat is a bit warm (lol)

He doesn't get into the playoffs this year, then he is done.

But with the people on the poll, I'm going Mike Nolan, he was so close to getting fired this off-season, so if he does bad, bye-bye Nolan.

Bengals78 · 06-10-2008, 12:55 PM

Marvin Lewis for me. Ive never been a HUGE Lewis fan and the past few years have really just dropped him out of favor with a lot of fans. Drafting bad character. basically settling for 8-8 every year. one up year in 05. He was brought in as a defensive master mind and as shown up as a defensive mental midget. We had one of the worst D-coordinators in Bresnahan. And they got rid of him and brought in a proven defensive crew in Zimmer and Fitz. If these guys cant get the defense to a respectable level, Marvin is done for.

21ST · 06-10-2008, 01:14 PM

If the redskins dont get to the playoffs Zim Zorn wont be the head coach next year

gsorace · 06-10-2008, 01:21 PM

It's always whoever happens to be the Raiders head coach that season.

I agree he is not really on the hot seat but it might not be a bad idea to move on if they miss the playoffs he has been there so long maybe a new voice is needed.

I disagree, in the past 3 years he has had some really good drafts, and the core of this team is really starting to look good. I mean you really cant have a better draft than their 06 draft which turned out:
Jay Cutler, Tony scheffler, Brandon Marshall, Elvis Dumervill, and Chris Kuper(who will most likely start at either guard or right tackle this year.)

And their is nobody else in the world I would rather have to teach the QB position to Jay cutler than Shanahan.

Marvin Lewis

Why the hell is Gary Kubiak up there? What has he done to be in the "hotseat"? Everything he done been positive, look at our draft, the street FA that we pick up that turn into decent players for our teams. He turned an abmismal 2-14 team into an up-and-coming young team that has a very good chance of making the playoffs this year.

What I'm trying to get at is... do you any clue about how the coach is doing since they joined their team and how they impact their teams before making this thread? Or did you just throw out abunch of names? Imma go with no clue whatsoever.

Anyways.... I pick John Fox. His team is too talented to be underachieving like they have been in the last 2 seasons.

Mike Nolan probably has the hottest seat. However, if the Cowboys don't win the Super BowlWade Phillips could be gone, but if they don't win a playoff game he's gone.

Our owner has said regardless of what our record is this year, both Mangini and Tannenbaum (GM) jobs are guaranteed for next year
