It's NFL Black Monday: New York Jets Fire Eric Mangini
Music City Miracles —
This is the day every year when a handful of NFL coaches lose their jobs. Here is the list so far:
Jay Glazer is reporting that the Jets have fired. That was quite a fall for the Jets from the best team in the AFC just a few weeks ago.
Rod Marninelli is out after his record breaking year in Detroit.
Romeo Crennel is out after a terribly dissapointing year in Cleveland.
Three out ...
COWHER DECLINES BROWNS’ OFFER
ProFootballTalk.com —
ESPN’s Chris Mortensen is reporting that Bill Cowher declined an offer to become the Brown’s next head coach when he met on Saturday night with owner Randy Lerner. The rumors placing Cowher in Cleveland had been swirling for weeks. The fact that he meant with Lerner shows that Cowher at least had given serious consideration to the position, though it remains unclear why he turned it down. Mortensen is saying that Cowher told Lerner he will not coach at all in 2009, though other league sources say Cowher may still pursue a job elsewhere. With Cowher’s name no longer attached to ...

Dismissed, three's company
The Stankoniforous Files —
via ESPN Stank-0 just saw that three head coaches were pinkslipped today. This is the latest in the Dismissed series. The three coaches let go are: Eric Mangini, Romeo Crennel, and Rod Marinelli.

Lots of New NFL Jobs up for Grabs

... 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 ...

Northwestern falls in OT to Mizzou in the Alamo Bowl. That was a lot closer than Illinois came. Bulls win; pigs fly. Rose goes for 21 points and 13 assists as Chicago wins in New Jersey for the first time since 2001. Mangini, Marinelli, and Crennel fired. Must have been Mangini's idea to dump Pennington for Favre. Couldn't pass this one up. The headline I clicked on said "With Bears dead, Hawks own the city." I don't think Stormin' Norman wrote it. Lovie not saying anything about coaching ...

Then both Anderson and Quinn go down and they have to finish with their 3rd string QB. They have some major league divas over there that can't be good for the team. Braylon Edwards went from a world beater to a guy who cannot even hang onto the ball. ...
