Just one week ago, Ryan Meehan and I told you about ten things to watch for in this upcoming NFL season. As sure as the sun rises in the east, it also tends every season to blaze a few coaches into that long goodnight. To that end, we had New York Jets head coach Rex… Read More Coaches Death Watch – The First Rex Ryan Death Rattle Has Been Heard
Let’s be honest, every major league baseball manager could get fired…that’s what they do. They aren’t like popes who usually get to die in office; being a major league manager means having your ass welded to a revolving door. But there are some who simply have a much better chance of getting revolved out of… Read More Ten Baseball Managers Who Could Be Fired in 2013

1) This Tebow Thing Is Now Officially Out of Control I watched the last three minutes of that Bears-Broncos game last night, and I still don’t believe what I saw. Sure, there’s all the stuff that surrounds Timmy Rah-Rah. You can see that on every other outlet out there. But the hype hides the unbelievable… Read More What We Learned From This Weekend In Football 12/10/2011
1) Stick a Fork in ‘Em… The Philadelphia Eagles Turkeys are Done Just by taking the Sgt. Joe Friday approach (“Just the facts”), one can see it is time to blow up this thing in Philadelphia. The Michael Vick thing was a mistake, DeSean Jackson is a cancer, and the whole “Dream Team” thing was… Read More What We Learned From This Weekend in Football 12/4/2011
Lots of stuff has happened since we originally started this Coaches’ Death Watch a month ago. Some of it we saw coming, some of it we didn’t, and some of it is simply inexplicable. There’s the guys who bought it before we ever published the inaugural death watch issue. Granted, we messed up when we… Read More What We Learned From This Weekend in Football 11/26/2011 – The Up-To-The-Minute Coaches’ Death Watch Edition

If you will, here are those skills described in a quasi-BS “elevator speech”… Read More Open Letter to Football Teams Firing Their Head Coach: Why You Should Hire Me
Since we last visited this topic, there have been many changes. Tim Brewster at Minnesota did indeed bite the dust with the rare mid-season canning; while some have gotten closer to being next, while others have likely saved their skins. But just for fun, since some of the coaches who are clearly under fire are… Read More Coaches’ Death Watch: The Universal Football Edition
We have a critical problem in this country. We have far too many people who think they are perfectly qualified for jobs that they don’t have the first clue how to do. You can thank video games for that. Would you pay to listen to a Guitar Hero concert? Would you trust a pilot trained… Read More Open Letter To Football Fans: You Could Not Be A Coach Despite How Good You Are At Madden
USA Today is quoting the Minneapolis ESPN Radio affiliate who has reported that Minnesota head coach Tim Brewster will be fired if the Golden Gophers lose at Purdue today. 1500 ESPN reported that the Minnesota football coach would be fired if the Golden Gophers lose to Purdue on Saturday for the team’s sixth… Read More Coaches’ Death Watch Update: Is It “Blindfold and Last Cigarette” Time In Minnesota?
1) Georgia isn’t as bad as they look. Well, they’ve only beaten Tennessee and Roast Beef State Louisiana-Lafayette, and they aren’t going to a bowl game, but the calls for Mark Richt’s head are premature. I understand how losing to a sorry-ass Colorado team can give one cause to wonder, but settle down, Dawg fans.… Read More Nine Things We’ve Learned About College Football at the Halfway Point
1) The ACC sucks. When the class of this league all gets beat on one weekend, including a Georgia Tech loss to a sinking Kansas program, and Virginia Tech spitting the bit against James Madison, it is getting safe to say whoever this conference puts in the BCS will be sure to treat us to… Read More Nine Things We’ve Learned From The First Two Weeks of College Football 2010
