Coaching & Staff Carousel

[TheShizNo1]

Didn't see one and figured its about that time.

"Bucs fired Raheem Morris."
That was per Adam Shefter's twitter.

He also tweeted the Rams coach was fired, whose name escapes me.

ESPN's ticker just said the Tampa Bay's entire coaching staff has been fired.

I kinda hate the Buccaneers right now.

Jay Glazer reported that Morris and Staff were fired, but GM is safe.

Amazing what a difference a year makes.

Re: Coaching Carousel

Jets are apparently holding a press conference with Rex and Tannenbaum at 3 to announce changes to the coaching staff. Pretty sure that means Schottenheimer is a goner.

This caught me by surprise. I figured Caldwell would be out, but most everything else would remain the same in Indy. I guess not....

Re: Coaching Carousel

Not surprised that Jeff Fischer wants to go to a team with a established QB. I think the teams he is interested in(Bucs, Rams, Colts, Chargers) are good fits.

Man, Tampa better not hire Fisher. The dude is the most overrated coach ever.

It seems like they are going to be a rebuilding team. I think that Peyton maybe gone.

We have our first stunner of Black Monday.

Colts Vice Chairman Bill Polian and his son G.M. Chris Polian are out in Indianapolis, according to Chris Mortensen of ESPN.

There’s no official word yet on coach Jim Caldwell.

The departure of the Polian clan is a seismic decision by owner Jim Irsay after 14 years of success with the Colts franchise. Bill Polian took over as G.M. in early 1998 and made Peyton Manning his first draft pick with the team.

Polian dumped quarterback Jim Harbaugh back then and it’s at least possible that his plans regarding Manning led to this move by Irsay.

Irsay is very close to Manning and there was apparent friction between the quarterback and general manager in recent weeks. Polian seemed almost certain to draft a quarterback No. 1 and had been closely tied to Andrew Luck, who yet another Polian worked with at Stanford.

It’s possible the next Colts decision maker could still let go of Manning or draft Luck, of course. But the departure of the Polians appears to make it more likely for Manning to have a future in Indianapolis.

Until this disastrous year, the Colts had won at least ten games for nine straight seasons. The team had eleven double digit win seasons in Polian’s tenure.

Of course, Polian’s tenure coincides exactly with Peyton Manning. There are fair arguments to be made over how much credit Manning should get and how much the front office should get.

We think there is enough credit to go around. The Polians and Manning accomplished an incredible amount together.

We know this much: Irsay sees Manning as the more integral part of the Colts’ future.
