Black Monday

So I'm a strange fellow. I love Black Monday. I truly do. I love predicting who will get fired. Some teams are foolish and hastily fire a coach before it is deserved while other times, owners wait until it hits rock bottom to let a coach go. The whole process just fascinates me. This year, those mean ole owners too a lot of the fun out of Black Monday by firing so many coaches during the season. So we already know Dallas , Denver , Carolina, 49ers & Minnesota made their decisions before the season was over. It didn't take Cleveland too long to pull the plug on Eric Mangini. The Giants, Texans & Chargers have already confirmed that they are keeping their embattled coaches. So we're left with Miami, Oakland, Cincinnati, Tennessee & Jacksonville who could possibly change coaches. I think all these teams all make changes except Oakland. Al Davis knows no one really wants this job and the coach did go 8-8.  Marvin Lewis needs a change of scenery and some respect so I don't see him signing a new deal with Cincy. I think Miami has peaked under Spags and they need to go a different direction. He has proven he can't develop an pro offense. The last two are tricky. There is a battle of wills between the Ownership and Jeff Fisher in TN over Vince Young. That situation can go either way. It all depends on who is most willing to compromise.  Finally, the Jags need to make a change. Del Rio is a perfectly average coach and David Garrard is a perfectly average QB. If they couldn't overtake the injury riddled Colts this season, they never will. The need to hit restart.
