Obvisouly yes lol.

Also Marvin Lewis was on the hot seat before the season started, definitely has saved his job.

If the Browns give the kind of effort they gave on Thursday for the rest of the season, Mangini will and should keep his job.

Let's face it, he blew up this team and has found some decent gems...it's so unfortunate that he's such an *** off the field because he can really teach and coach football.

Jim Zorn - I fully expect him to be gone.

Lovie Smith - His days are numbered.

John Fox - Jake is probably going to cost him his job.

Perry Fewell - but that's only because of the interim deal and the fact that he inherited a bad situation, so not really his fault.

Tom Cable - Head Coaches are always on the hotseat in Oakland. It also doesn't help that he sucks.

Wade Phillips - Too much talent on that team to not be making runs at the Super Bowl, and you know Jerry Jones is growing impatient.

Gary Kubiak - he has to get the Texans to the next level. It's not happening, he's in trouble.

Jeff Fisher - When the Owner begins forcing your hand to start a QB that you didn't believe in anymore, the writing is on the wall and I don't care how long you've been there.

Jack Del Rio - They have to make the playoffs.

I doubt Cable is fired. Only if that abuse story gets out of hand and they are forced to fire him.

Jags don't need to make the playoffs to keep Del Rio's job safe. What they've done up till now is already enough for him to keep his job.

Yeah, JDR is safe. Jacksonville is in a rebuilding year, and wasn't supposed to even get close to sniffing the playoffs. The fact that they hold their destiny in their hands is pretty impressive.

Kubiak, definitely. The Texans seem to be on the brink of competing for two seasons now, yet they don't seem to be taking that next step.

Lovie, I still can't figure out how he's still coaching. The Bears seem to do nothing but regress every year.

I don't think hotseat necessarily means you'll lose your job, it depends on the situation. I've just always thought of the term also applying to meaning that the pressure is on. Like with Wade, I don't think he gets fired if the Cowboys don't make the Super Bowl, but the pressure is definitely on and it's hard to say which way Jerry Jones will move.

The rebuilding thing... Owners aren't all that forgiving of that anymore especially seeing the very quick success of the expansion Jags and Panthers. Lots of coaches still get fired in rebuilding circumstances.

Del Rio's turnaround has been nice and in public of course Jags ownership is going to say nice things, but I wouldn't be surprised if behind closed doors they had an exit strategy with Del Rio if things didn't progress. They're not a lock for the playoffs right now and I just have a feeling that if they miss there is going to be some trouble, it's not as if Jack has been wildly successful since he took over in '03... they've only won one playoff game under him.

As for Cable, no he's definitely on the hotseat and I'm talking job trouble. As stated, it's Oakland and you're always on the hotseat and your job is always in trouble as Al Davis is an impatient (ridiculous) man. That said, Cable sucks and if I were Al I would've gotten rid of him already.
