NFL Coaching Changes

[fly3rs18]

probably better to just combine this into one post.

 

 

but a few things have already happened. zorn fired, shanahan met with the team, the entire buffalo coaching staff fired, and giants defensive coordinator fired.

 

Defensive coordinator Bill Sheridan became the first victim of the New York Giants’ collapse in 2009.

 

Coach Tom Coughlin dismissed the rookie coordinator late Monday afternoon, just hours after saying that Sheridan’s future with the team was going to be evaluated in the wake of an 8-8 season that ended with losses in eight of the final 11 games.

 

The firing also came the same day that co-owner John Mara vowed to make changes after seeing the season end with two embarrassing losses in which the Giants were outscored 85-16.

The Buffalo Bills cleared the way for their next head coach, informing their entire coaching staff to start looking elsewhere for jobs.

 

Interim head coach Perry Fewell was among those relieved of his duties on Monday, though the Bills said he is still a candidate and will be interviewed. Fewell is on a growing list of candidates likely to include former NFL head coaches Brian Billick, Marty Schottenheimer—who hasn’t entirely ruled out the possibility of returning to coaching—and Bill Cowher.

 

The latest development came shortly after Fewell addressed his players in a final team meeting, and less than a day after the Bills (6-10) ended their season with a 30-7 win over the Indianapolis Colts.

 

The Bills announced in a statement that the team’s current staff remains under contract but the coaches have been informed that their obligations for this season have been completed, and they now “have the opportunity to seek positions elsewhere.” The release said their status will then be determined by the Bills’ next head coach.
