It’s the day after the last day of the regular season, which can only mean two things: There will be lots of coaches fired, and we’ll hear lots of rumors about who will replace them over the next few weeks.
The most notable coach fired is Eric Mangini, who took over a team in shambles three years ago, won 10 games in his first season and went to the playoffs, and then won nine games this season. Also to go was the winless Rod Marinelli, which was no shocker, and also not too shocking was the ousting of Romeo Crenell, who guided a team that scored one offensive touchdown in its final six games.
There’s rumors circulating that the Browns contacted former Steelers head coach Bill Cowher, but reports say Cowher has “no interest.” Rumors are being shot down that Cowher is interested in the Jets gig, but I gotta imagine if he wanted it, he’d get it.
Who’s next to go? John Gruden?
