We might need a 'Fired Coaches' tracker thread to keep up with what is expected to happen this off-season.

That’s two so far, and two teams have said they are keeping their coaches.

The team has been bad under him. My son’s favorite team is the Colts, so we follow them closely. He seemed to have no clue at times.

I’m not sure what happened out there. I like Del Rio, he will probably end up somewhere. If only as a DC.

Four year extensions signed in February don't last like they used to... ;)

In Jacksonville, Jack was a master of canning coordinators to save his ass.  Guess when you make your rep as a DC and the D totally falls apart in what is supposed to be "your" year, it doesn't work as well.

Anyone know if Bruce Arians retired for sure in Arizona.

Also, is Gruden going to coach the Raiders or Bucs?

Not sure about Arians. But, Tampa Bay has stated they are not firing the HC. Apparently, neither is Cleveland or Washington.

I heard the Fox crew say he was going to take some time and let the team know what he was going to do.

Lions Fire Caldwell
Splattered all over ESPN from Lions twitter account.

The guy is 8 games over .500 (36-28) in 4 years with the Lions and they think they're going to do better?

Detroit has to be the best job available imo, and it's the defense that needs help not the O.

Arians will announce his retirement today. So that is one more HC job opening.
