Teams don't normally wait until 10 p.m. ET to announce firing news, which tells me that the Monday meetings must have really gone sour.

Vrabel is like if you hosed with an opponent AI to always go aggressive on fourth downs and two point attempts, even when it's incredibly stupid to do so.

Do teams that fire their head coach mid season end up with better hires than those that wait until Black Monday?

I think the answer is generally no but that's my gut feeling and I have nothing to back it up with.

I'd guess the idea is you can try and recruit a coach earlier even though you're not supposed to because of tampering rules if they're in the NFL. If they're on a decent team you can't actually hire them until they're out of the playoffs. If you have an eye on a college coach (or CFL I guess) they're probably good enough to sit around and see if a better job opens up because poo poo is bad if you're firing a coach mid-season.

Having said that I don't think it's worthwhile to keep a dead man walking around because the players just lose all faith in what's going on and may never trust the organization again.

That's way too much data to sift through :colbert:

I already spent like 15 minutes on this, though I did it byhand. If someone else can pull up a spreadsheet or something with all NFL coaching changes since '00 that'd make it a lot easier.

I mean a big part of the problem here is that if you're bad enough to even be thinking you should fire your coach mid-season you're probably in a very bad place as a franchise.

e: I also might have bolded Doug Marrone, although that's not because of anything he's done but who he replaced.

Marrone and McDermott were the two I was really on the fence about. Both of them turned around their teams and got them to the playoffs really quickly ... but then followed up with disappointing seasons. :iiam:

I think the biggest issue with firing a guy midseason gives the interim guy a shot to turn it around and those guys who end up getting the job are usually bad.

Technically the Rams only have 2, Mike Martz took a leave of absence in the middle of a season for a heart condition and then was fired a day after their final game that John Shaw refused to let Martz come back and coach.

Mike Mularkey was better than Whisenhunt, at the very least. He wasn't good, but he wasn't Whisenhunt bad and got the team to the playoffs once.

My favorite mid season firing was Scott Linehan being replaced by Jim Haslett. Haslett then won back to back games and people were talking about how he might have rehabed his career and was a dark horse candidate to keep the job after the season.

Then he lost 10 straight games to close out the season.

Judging by trends this season I wonder if anyone is going to try to shake up coaching this season and just hire a guy as head coach who is exclusively in charge of managing game situations, taking timeouts and challenging and just the overall mechanics of the team. Then just paying out the rear end for a College guy to run the offense and finding a decent DC on the other side as playcallers.

This is basically how the Cowboys operate now, except Jason Garrett is bad at the role you described instead of good.

I think that's what I'm trying to get at, how in tune is Harbaugh with analytics and odds in terms of when to kick the FG, go for it on 4th down, call timeouts, etc? I really want to see a team that just has a head coach that manages the game and is responsible for discipline and team structure outside of games and all the schemes/plays go through the coordinators only.

I feel slightly bad for Switzer because he was a legitimately innovative offensive mind in like, the 60s and 70s. But that's around the 4th thing anyone will ever remember him for and the first three are really embarrassing.

On the other hand gently caress the Sooners so I can't feel too bad.

Barry Switzer's NFL career was so weird. Even with his decorated college resume, nobody took him seriously and the players/fans/media always resented him for being Not Jimmy Johnson, yet the Cowboys were so talented they still won a Super Bowl while basically coaching themselves, and when they stopped winning they couldn't kick him to the curb fast enough.

Even Dennis Erickson and Chip Kelly got a second chance in college after they flamed out in the pros. Switzer hasn't coached anywhere since 1997.
