As they say the NFL sometimes stands for NOT TOO LONG - and there are quite a few coaches tonight not knowing if they still will be coaching in the NFL for much longer.

For me Im feeling that it is time for Tom and his Gilbrides to pack it in . .
After another ugly loss the Giants need to win their regular-season finale against the Washington Redskins and receive plenty of help from some other teams if they are to keep any hopes of playing in the post season. They need the Packers to lose or they must finish in a three-way tie with the New Orleans Saints and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Hopefully for Manning and the Gints brighter days are in their future but Tom Couglins long-term security took a turn for worse. Yes the Giants lost (again) but this is one team that looked as discombobulated as the weather in NY today (currently a blizzard is blanketing the city) They never led and were outscored in the second half, 24-3. To add more misery they are stuck in Green Bay for the night due to the storm.

Singletary's 49ers (5-10) were eliminated from playoff contention on Sunday after a 25-17 loss to Spags St. Louis Rams. Breaking news. . he was asked to resign (the NFL channel just reported that he wouldnt resign) and then he was fired.

John Fox He has been with the franchise since 2002 and he's had some great years in Carolina, but the team is at the very bottom of the league with a 2-13 .. before he got there the team was 1-15 before his arrival.- sounds like they need more than a coaching change.

Marvin Lewis - did he save his job today with a win over the Chargers?

Gary Kubiak -In a series of Tweets, John McClain made it very clear that he has changed his tune on whether the Texans coaching staff will be back next season after an embarrassing comeback win by the Denver Broncos ..

ah the list goes on tonight. . .who else do you think or do you want to say bye bye?

I'm surprised they didn't just let Singletary finish the season.

As for others, there is a decent chance Shanahan ends up being one and done after his handling of Haynesworth and Mcnabb.

I think he gets another year, but don't be shocked if Sparano is out in Miami.

And don't forget Mangenius.

  I'm also surprised with the Singletary firing. He really never had a chance with the garbage that team has had at QB. When a team selects a QB #1 overall and that QB turns out to be a bust, as is the case with Alex Smith, it really sets the franchise back for years to come.

  Not really. He spent one year as a def. coordinator for the Patriots. That year New England ended up ranked 26th in the league in yards given up and 17th in points. The year before, they were ranked 9th in yards and 2nd in points. The year after he took the Jets job, they finished 6th in yards and 2nd in points.
  
  Mangini got hired based on where he worked much more than anything he ever did there.

Added to all of those already mentioned, I would also think there is a possibility of the following coaches finding the unemployment booth at the end of the season:

Jeff Fisher (Titans) - Who is the longest tenured coach in the NFL. I think this could happen because of the friction between him and QB Vince Young. The owner of the Titans apparently loves Vince Young.

Norv Turner (Chargers) - I have not really heard many rumblings about him losing his job to this point in the last few weeks, but it seems like this has been a long time coming. It seems like a coaching change here is always rumored after one of their poor starts year-after-year and then again after their subsequent meltdown in the playoffs. Well, this year they are not even making the playoffs, so there is a chance this could finally happen.

Tom Cable (Raiders) - This team outperformed expectations this year, but at this point Cable has done enough stupid things that one more might be the final straw.

Tony Sparano (Dolphins) Team underperformed this season, Parcells hired him, and Parcells is no longer there to save him now.

I'm not saying that any of these guys will get canned, but am merely stating that the possibility is there.

  Cable and Turner are safe, although Turner might be gone soon if KC and Oakland keep building on this year and eliminate the Chargers ability to wait until week 8 to begin playing. "Just win baby" is an official Raiders slogan.

I think the most likely of all to go (fair or not) is Tom Coughlin of the Giants. This team outperformed many expectations heading into the season and really played well this season, but I think he will be out for the following reasons:

1) the players have never liked him and the media is very tough on him, which can easily influence a team's decision

2) I think he only has one year left on his contract so the Giants would not be losing a big investment

3) because there are big-named coaches like Bill Cowher just waiting to fill a high-profile position like the Giants.

  Coughlin will remain in good standing until further notice as Giants co-owner John Mara has dismissed reports Coughlin's job is in jeopardy, but he hasn't come out and guaranteed the man a job next season. Coughlin's signed through 2011, Some say some of Couglins best coaching with the Giants has been with his, and his team's backs against the wall. How much more up against the wall do they need to be. This isnt the same team that overcame it all in 2007. This time back then the Giants were on fire and they were exciting to watch, Now its like waiting for a train wreck to happen. Last weeks embarrassment to the Eagles was enough for me to say . . . time for some changes. .. . fire someones arse.

  It can only be expected that any team's management is not going to declare that a coaches' job is in jeopardy until that team is officially eliminated from the playoffs. There is no way the Giants ownership was going to come out cause such a distraction while the team does still have a slim chance of making the playoffs. It will be interesting to see what happens in this case after everything is determined next week. I'd be fairly certain Coughlin will be done for.

  Except they lost that game against the Bears yesterday. They clinched a playoff spot because another team lost, not because they won. That's the very definition of "backing into the playoffs". The Jets have beat two teams that will be joining them in the postseason. Those teams are the Patriots, who the Jets beat in week 2, and the Steelers, who the Jets beat thanks to a kickoff return touchdown. They have won close games against Detroit, Cleveland, and Denver, all among the 10 worst team in the NFL.
  
  I can't think of a recent playoff team that is less "for real" than this year's Jets. Their point differential is only +32, meaning in the average game they score about 2 points more than their opponents. The Chargers, who will not be going to the playoffs, have a +115 point different, or about a 7.5 point advantage over their opponents each game.

  It's just with Hard Knocks and Rex Ryan's mouth the Jets have been the talk of the NFL this season, and the truth is they are not a great team. They barely won the games against the teams they should have blown out, and they lost most of the games against teams that are good. Looking back at their season, they're a few lucky bounces away from being a 7 win team.

To you the Jets arent a good team, and to me they are a great team, I love Rex Ryan and all he brings to the game, including his big trash mouth. If you were a football player, who would you want to play for ???
  Sports Illustrated November 25, 2010 released the results of a poll asking NFL players, “For which other coach would you most like to play?” Ryan was the clear winner, with 21 percent of the vote.

  Hi Shari...and everyone, Happy New Year to all!
  
  This is what I love football, every game is another game, it is largely unpredictable. Although I root for Steelers my favorite team, I watch game with enthusiasm and excitement and there are times no matter who is throwing the ball as long as it is touchdown, I cheer the team, even if they are competing with Steelers, LOL.
  
  I just love the game!
  
  I go for underdogs and for the chance of every player and team to showcase what they have got, as long as there is enthusiasm and the will to win the game, any team can win...
  
  Lots of factors which affect games. Enthusiasm, motivation, injuries, coaching, chance, perfect timing, etc. who knows who will win the game.

Why did some news reporter have to muck up the news with what Rex and his wife do . .so what if he likes feet. .. the Aussies called football footy right? so it is natural for a footy head coach to like footies. . who the hell cares. . .

  The Jets have the pieces; Sanchez is the wild card. Good Mark manages the game, doesn't put his defense in a bind with turnovers, and makes a couple of nice plays. Bad Mark tries to do too much and blows the game.
  
  If they meet the Patriots again, I wonder if they'll play as soft a coverage as they did last game. I'd take my chances with Brady throwing down field, (you have to pick your poison) and try to limit the short stuff to Welker, the tight ends, and the RB's.

  If I wanted to win, I'd want to play for Bill Belichick. I say that as someone who happens to root for another team in the AFC East and absolutely hates the Patriots. Belichick is obsessive about winning football games, probably to the detriment of everything else in his life including family and friends. He might not be "fun" to play for, but he brings a team prepared to win every week. In 11 seasons as the Patriots head coach, he's only had two seasons in which the team didn't win at least 10 games. One of those seasons was his first with the Patriots, so he had little control over key personnel, as he does now as acting GM of the team. Remember that this season was supposed to be a "rebuilding year" for the Patriots. That's why so many publications were picking the Jets to go to the Super Bowl before the season started.
  
  Anything can happen in the playoffs, but clearly the Jets are going to need several upsets to make it to the Super Bowl. Out of the Patriots, Jets, Steelers, Ravens, Colts, and Chiefs (the 6 teams likely to make the postseason in the AFC), I would rank the Jets last. In fact, even if we add in the NFC teams I would rank the Jets second-to-last, only ahead of whatever team wins the NFC West, which this year was the worst division in football history.

  I can't stand Tom Brady, but his "past" does include 3 Super Bowl rings. Just sayin'. One Super Bowl loss three years ago is not haunting him (and let's not forget, it was the porous Pats defense that cost them that game). Upsets can and do happen, but there's no doubt the Pats are at a level above teams like the Jets right now (that 45-3 win against the Jets a few weeks ago should have been evidence of that).

  How about the 2008 Cardinals? They got absolutely trounced several times during the regular season, limped into the playoffs, and only lost the Super Bowl because of a spectacular Santonio Holmes catch at the end.
  
  I think last year was an anomaly, where the teams with the best regular season records went to the Super Bowl.
  
  The 2006 Colts were the third seed after being beaten down by the Jaguars late in the season. It worked out pretty well for them.

Going for it on fourth down on the Jags' side of the 50 against the Colts showed how desperate he has become for a big win. He knows his job's hanging by a thread.

  I think it's about time for my anti-Coughlin rant:
  
  Most of my friends are Giants fans, and they absolutely hate Tom Coughlin. I've got to say, I wouldn't want him coaching my team. The only word that can describe how he acted after the meltdown against the Eagles is "cowardice".
  
  He started his press conference by saying he wasn't going to blame the punter for what happened. He then spent the next 20 minutes blaming the punter. He claimed he warned his special teams guys on the kickoff when the Eagles were down 2 touchdowns with under 8 minutes to go to "watch out for the onside kick". Well, the sideline audio didn't show him saying that, and if he was really concerned about the onside kick (which he absolutely should have been given the situation), he should have either sent out the hands team or had the regular kick return guys set up in a formation that is prepared to handle an onside kick. He did neither, and all 5 guys started running backwards as the kicker approached the ball. Apparently all 5 guys missed Coughlin's silent warning to watch out for the onside kick.
  
  What happened during those 8 minutes against the Eagles was an absolute breakdown in coaching. The Giants wasted multiple opportunities to run down the clock on the Eagles during that 4th quarter, and their defenses were constantly out of position. When a team is down 3 touchdowns halfway through the 4th quarter, you do not allow a wide receiver to get wide open down the middle of the field for an 80-yard touchdown. That play wasn't just the result of a safety being out of position, it was the result of the wrong defense being called for that situation. Blitzing in that situation is something my 8-year-old brother would do in Madden; you shouldn't see that type of thing in the NFL.
  
  The way Coughlin threw his players under the bus after that game was absolutely cowardly. Berating his punter on the field immediately after the game just so we would know who to blame is something honorable coaches wouldn't do. For a directional kick, punters position their bodies at an angle toward the sideline before the snap. If the snap is bad (and it was), they lose that angle and will have trouble getting back to that angle and kicking the ball without it being blocked. It's not as simple as just kicking the ball off the side of the foot. Even after he punted to Jackson, Jackson muffed it, which should have allowed the Giants special teams to get to him. They didn't, and their lanes broke down up the middle, exposing once again how ill-prepared their special teams was.
  
  Take a look at that last drive when the Giants had the ball in that game. How exactly do you end up in a situation where it's 4th down and there are 14 seconds left on the clock? There's a reason why this was the first punt return for a touchdown to end a regulation NFL game in history. Most teams with NFL-caliber coaches don't end up in a situation where they are punting in the final seconds of the game.
  
  Going back to Matt Dodge's flub, why exactly was Matt Dodge still in a Giants uniform? Coughlin can blame him for screwing up that one punt, but Coughlin can't claim this was unexpected behavior. From his very first punt of the preseason, Dodge has been shanking more punts than anyone in the NFL. He's got a great leg (probably one of the best), but who cares if he's capable of a 70 yard punt if the 4 punts that come after that come off the side of his foot and go 15 yards each? The Giants knew they had a problem at punter from day 1, but they still had that problem punter in the game in the crucial point of their season in week 14. If a dog bites you once, it's the dog's fault. If a dog bites you for the 100th time, it's your fault for sticking with that dog.

This is not a big surprise as it seems as though the players like himand believe in him, especially compared to former coach Childress. I also thought this would likely happen because the Vikings will still be paying a lot of money to Childress, so they probably did not want to pay for the services of a big-named coach.

  Yeah, that's pretty much how they got Childress.

This is why Cincinnatti can't win, EVER! They bring Marvin Lewis back for one more year. One year ago, their total defense was 4th. Thats good for a Bengal team. This year, they are in the mid 20s. Same players, different results. That points to coaching. Plus, Carson Palmer hits the other team, more then his own receivers. Paul Brown, your boys need you.

Once again, the Jets find a way to win. They play the same team that slashed them 45-3 a couple weeks ago. Look forward to a fight on this one. All, I forgot, they have Brady. Jets have Sanchez. Huh, Brady or Sanchez? Well,....What was I saying? Oh, I remember. The Tom Brady wagon is ready to board. He is the greatest quarterback ever. And, he still has years left in the tank. Patriots 41 Jets 21
