The coach firings make the day after the NFL season ends seem like the last scene in a Godfather movie.

It’s “Black Monday” in the NFL, and so far five coaches have been fired (six if you count Houston Texans’ coach Gary Kubiak, who was let go earlier this month).
Rob Chudzinski, Leslie Frasier, Greg Schiano, Jim Schwartz, and Mike Shanahan all met with Donald Trump. He only had two words to say.

My iPhone changes "Shanahan" to "Shanghai". Draw your own conclusions.

I thought Leslie Frazier should've been coach of the year in 2012. In 2013, he's out of a job. Tough business. #Vikings

This is a good job opening in Tampa. New Buccaneers coach and GM will be picking 7th in the 2014 @nfl draft.
