• Rob Chudzinkski, Cleveland Browns, 2013
• Jim Tomsula, San Francisco 49ers, 2015
• Chip Kelly, San Francisco 49ers, 2016
• Steve Wilks, Arizona Cardinals, 2018
• Freddie Kitchens, Cleveland Browns, 2019

• David Culley, Houston Texans, 2021
• Nathaniel Hackett, Denver Broncos, 2022
• Lovie Smith, Houston Texans, 2022

 

 

this isn’t some ‘taboo’ matter. If the coach stinks, you have to move on, admit your mistake. The worst thing we can do is another off cycle GM/coach fire. If we’re getting rid of Fitterer this offseason then it’s prudent to can Reich as well. Hire a football president who picks a GM who hires a coach (Evero would be a candidate to hire) and we go from there

 

this geriatric all star coaching tree (Reich, Capers, Caldwell) the game has passed them by

If Frank doesn’t pass on the play calling, he will be on the last. But since we don’t have our 1st rd pick, I think Frank is safe for this year

This Reich situation is most similar to Hackett

Not getting most of his QB, terrible playcalling, atrocious clock management

Unless you're in some scandal, or some outrageous situation, a coach should NEVER be fired after one season.  It's beyond stupid, I've always said, and still say, that they should be given 3 years.

I expect him giving up playcalling duties and a new GM will buy him another year

Was probably fair advice 20 years ago but think that had passed. An average coach yes, after 3 years they can become the guy but if you have an awful coach and you know after 1 season, you have to pull the trigger. I’m not saying Frank is that yet

He got hosed there. Vince Lombardi himself wouldn't win anything with Josh Rosen at quarterback.

It's too early to say if Frank should be fired although I'm certainly leaning that direction. I'm of the opinion that if you're the coach of the team with the worst record in the NFL, you should always be fired. Doesn't matter if it's your 1st year or if you won the Superbowl the year before. If you are the coach of the worst team in the NFL, you should be fired.

Frank would have to go damn near winless to get fired. I could see him getting axed if he’s at like 0-12 or something. But I think he would be replaced by somebody on the staff the rest of the year and next year to keep from having to rebuild the staff again.
 

I do have this theory though that Tepper wouldn’t put Evero in as the guy. Even though he’s the obviously choice, I got this feeling he would pick somebody like Chris Tabor, Josh McCown, or Jim Caldwell or Staley causing everyone to be in mass confusion.

[Dorian Gray]

Firing him and promoting Evero would have a similar impact of Wilks over Rhule, I think. We'll wait too long to do it... If we do it at all (we won't).

[LinvilleGorge]

Here's the problem. You've saddled your franchise to a QB that doesn't look to have NFL talent. As an owner you've looked completely inept. No one with other options is lining up to take this job.

I don’t know that he would even take it and taint his HC record. He could probably just wait until the end of year and get a job with a different team, build his own staff, and not have a dumbass GM to deal with.

Look at that list of coaches fired after one season. Which one was a mistake?
