00:00You know, they referred to the Monday after the final NFL game as Black Monday.

00:05And it's Black Monday because that's the day that the majority of coaches that are going to be fired get fired.

00:10Now, we've already had Brian Dable fired by the New York Giants.

00:13We've already had, what's his name, Callahan, was it?

00:15Yep, in Tennessee.

00:16Already got fired.

00:17You know, they're 3-13 right now.

00:19The Giants have not won but a single game since they fired Brian Dable.

00:25So we thought we would take a look.

00:27We get no joy out of this.

00:28We're not the humbug guys.

00:29We're not the Grinch.

00:30But we recognize what's going to happen in a few days.

00:33And that's going to be, I think, a lot of NFL firing.

00:36So let's just go through it real quick.

00:38Starting the AFC, the Raiders and Pete Carroll.

00:41Do you let Pete Carroll come back and coach a rookie quarterback?

00:45Because he's been very good with young quarterbacks.

00:47He has been.

00:48Or do you acknowledge the fact that Pete Carroll, for all the successes he had in Seattle,

00:52and, of course, at USC, that the game has passed him by.

00:56And you should bring in a young coach who can relate to a young quarterback.

00:59I think Pete Carroll's gone.

01:01I think he's gone.

01:02I think they give him a different role only because for two more years they have to pay

01:05him $15 million.

01:07So $30 million more.

01:08And his main goal was, and apparently he has accomplished this, behind the scenes, things

01:13are in order.

01:13Not on the field.

01:14Okay.

01:14But apparently they didn't have a functional scowling department.

01:17I think the Raiders are paying like five guys still.

01:19Yeah, they are.

01:19Who aren't coaching for them.

01:20So Pete Carroll, we agree, is no longer the coach, but still involved with the organization.

01:25New York Jets, Aaron Glenn.

01:26I'm going bottom up here.

01:28I see no reason to bring Aaron Glenn back.

01:30It was a complete failure.

01:33The team does not play for him.

01:35And I see nothing he has done to make me think that he's a good head coach.

01:38Well, he should have mixed in losing by less down the stretch.

01:43Four straight games, losing by 23 or more.

01:45Yeah.

01:45So I don't know if the, usually they don't make decisions based on one game.

01:50He better not get blown out against Buffalo in the last game of the year coming up this

01:53weekend.

01:54But I think he's also gone because of that.

01:56All right.

01:56Tennessee's already fired their head coach.

01:58Cleveland Stefanski, gone.

02:00Gone.

02:00All right.

02:01Kansas City, obviously Andy Reid has a huge contract, four more years on it.

02:06He's coming back.

02:07They're not going to fire Andy Reid.

02:08And he's not retiring, but I'm not 100% sure he comes back.

02:11I think he goes back for one more year.

02:13I don't think he sees the end of his contract, but I do think he comes back.

02:16Just self-respect and pride.

02:18Cincinnati, Zach Taylor.

02:20Gone.

02:21Gone.

02:21Like, at what point do we recognize it ain't working?

02:24Yeah.

02:24I mean, come on.

02:25And I know it's not his fault that Joe Burr has always heard, but I don't think he's

02:28a very good coach, to be honest with you.

02:29He's not.

02:30And he's supposed to be a defensive guy.

02:32And the defense always stinks.

02:34All right.

02:34So we fired one.

02:36We fired two.

02:36We fired three.

02:37We got fired four.

02:39Miami, we know McDaniels is coming back.

02:41He's coming back.

02:41They can get to eight and nine if they beat New England.

02:44And the owners like him.

02:45And you know what?

02:45He's not a buffoon.

02:47He's not great, but he's not terrible.

02:48And he did a good job keeping it together there.

02:50Yeah, yeah.

02:51Baltimore.

02:52They're not going to fire Harbaugh.

02:54Could they work something out where he and they agree to separate?

02:57Maybe.

02:58But they're not going to fire Harbaugh.

03:00Mm-mm.

03:00Indianapolis.

03:01I think Steichen stays.

03:04I think he did enough without a quarterback.

03:07Yeah, he probably did.

03:08You also have to look at they want to do stability.

03:10He has three years left on his contract.

03:12He's still on that first contract.

03:13He made Daniel Jones a Pro Bowl quarterback.

03:15Yeah, I think he stays.

03:16I think he stays, too.

03:17By the way, if they lose to Houston, they would have gone from seven and one to under 500.

03:22Only guy to ever do that was Rich Cotite in Philly.

03:25Was seven and two at the Eagles.

03:26Didn't win another game.

03:28Ended out seven and nine in that season.

03:31Asked for an extension.

03:32Didn't get it.

03:33And the last guy I'll go to here is Mike Tomlin.

03:37He's under contract.

03:38They extended him.

03:40Could Mike Tomlin and the Steelers agree to part ways?

03:43Yes.

03:44Yes.

03:44Will they fire him?

03:46No.

03:47No.

03:47Fair enough?

03:48Fair enough.

03:48All right.

03:48Let's quickly go to the NFC now, okay?

03:50Mm-hmm.

03:51NFC, bottom up.

03:52The New York Giants have already fired.

03:54Brian Dable, I know you hate Arizona.

03:56Yes, I hate.

03:58He's gone.

03:59He's gone, and he'll never be seen again.

04:013-13.

04:03Probably going to have a new quarterback there next year as well.

04:05Yes.

04:05Firing Arizona, all right?

04:07Washington's not going to fire Quinn.

04:09Although, he has been horrible.

04:11But they didn't have a quarterback.

04:13He gets great.

04:14Some of that also was him, though.

04:16Okay, but he's going to get a year of grace because of what they did last year.

04:19Yeah, and he also was part of putting together a very old roster.

04:22And surprise, surprise, the old roster got injured.

04:24Yeah.
