You’ve got to fire Nagy but drat, who do you put in charge as interim? The guy in his first year as a defensive coordinator. Offensive Coordinator Bill Lazor of the the Chip Kelly Eagles and Adam Gase Dolphins? Tom Herman, recently fired head coach of the University of Texas?

Whoever it is will have 14 more games to ruin your first round pick.

What's the earliest a coach has been fired?

Nagy getting fired this week would be very deserved.

Edit: earliest in a season that is.

George Allen was fired after the second week of preseason in his second stint with the Rams, that's going to be hard to beat if you're counting that as in season.

Lane Kiffin and Joe Philbin were both fired 4 weeks into the season, I think that might tie for fastest actually after the season started firings?

Washington canned Jay Gruden 4 weeks in

For the most part teams would rather wait until their bye week to install the interim coach, which is probably why you don't see firings any earlier than that

There’s a lot of games between now and the bye for the Bears. They get a bit of reprieve next week with the Lions but then it’s Vegas, Green Bay, Tampa, San Fran and the Steelers all before the bye. Can’t see them beating any of those teams other than maybe Detroit and Pittsburgh.

Those last three all have good defensive fronts that are going to beat the poo poo out of whoever is taking snaps.

I think he's in about the perfect place for him now and it'll be a shame when he jumps ship.

He can be an troll/jerk on twitter and no one cares, put a scare in Bama every few years, Beat State more often than not (egg bowl is an all time rear end in a top hat coach matchup right now), be good enough to go to bowls. That's enough to keep Ole Miss happy.

It *may* be enough to keep Ole Miss happy though I suspect like many SEC schools they’ve got delusions of grandeur that don’t match up with historical reality.

But Oxford definitely is not enough to keep Lane happy.

If you wanna go way back, the Colts fired Howard Schnellenberger three games into the 1974 season. I think there’s a few other early ones like that with some of the crazy owners in the 70s and 80s (Including the only first year coach be fired midseason, Pete McCulley for the 49ers in 1978), but in modern times coaches usually make it till the bye weeks start around week 4.

Oh they can afford it. They'll pretend like they don't have hundreds of millions from insurance and investment groups throughout the city, and I cannot envision them being proactive about this firing. Fans needs to stop showing up and buying cable before anyone gives a poo poo up at the top.

I was kind of laughing during that game since after this huge Kirk Cousins derail here he goes out there and absolutely carves them up, going 30-38 for 323 yards and 3 touchdowns. Probably one of his best games ever tbh, and against a halfway decent team.

yesterday's game was just barely any sort of outlier for kirk cousins this season so far. he has over 20 very good games in his career as a day one starting qb going back to 2015, and 44 winning performances, the latest premium statistic exclusive to PFF subscribers, out of 83 attempts.

People were all aboard the Trubs train the first couple of years. Myself included. But from his third year on he regressed hard. Not all of which was his fault.
So yeah, fans give less leeway at a certain point.

"Mitch Trubisky" is just a bad name for a franchise QB. It doesn't roll off the tongue well, got worse when he insisted on being called Mitchell, and half the fanbase just called him "Trubinsky" anyway. It was never going to work out.

honestly, lazor or herman would be preferable to nagy just copy-pasting the andy playbook for fields and wondering why the offense can’t generate yards for poo poo

at least herman has a proven track record of success with mobile qbs; using fields like sam ehlinger or greg ward is gonna be a lot better for his development than pretending his legs are two boat anchors

Nagy sucks and should have been fired the second he was lining up 7 kickers in preseason to make field goals from exactly 43 yards because we knew he was crazy at that point. Maybe I'm missing something here but this particular argument is odd to me though since most of Andy's successful quarterbacks as a head coach have been been pretty mobile. Like if he was successfully just copying everything he'd be a good bet, but he's not doing it right.

I don't think the right idea here is to go QB run heavy with Fields in the end I guess. He's pretty good at it but he isn't special good at it, which you need to be in the NFL. It's a tool to break out now and then, but you need to get some other poo poo ironed out first. Which, again, Nagy is probably not the guy to do but no...you do not want Tom Herman coaching your team and kissing your players on the cheek.

I think it would still be unlikely, but after giving Miles Sanders just two carries and potentially being 1-7, Nick Sirianni being one-and-done is a possibility.

Sirianni never seemed like a serious hire in the first place. There was zero excitement the moment the announcement was made -- the biggest impression I got from the reactions was "confusion". It looked like the Eagles hadn't thought through what happens after "Fire Pederson" and made a panic hire.

by “copying and pasting the andy playbook” i meant the andy dalton playbook. he had a week to toss in new concepts to utilize fields’ legs and athleticism and instead just ran the same stuff he was running with dalton behind center. what makes it even more puzzling is that nagy ran some stuff in preseason with fields that actually DID make use of his particular skills
