Coach firings.....BLACK SUN/MONDAY....

No surprise but Ron Rivera fired too. What is surprising is that the Commanders group has hired former Vikings GM Rick Spielman to help with the coaching search.

I believe the meeting with Robert Kraft and Belichek is happening this morning

How do you fire Belacheat?  That dude with Brady are the goat’s. One can argue who had the bigger influence but you can’t argue what they accomplished.

Rivera's been cooked for years. I think the Snyder stuff bought him a lot of extra time, which he wasn't able to take advantage of. Interested to see what they look like in a year or two with a new coach and presumably new QB.
Arthur Smith also canned in Atlanta. Seems like he hit the ground stumbling and never hit a stride.

What has Belichek done since Brady left? Either the Pats have a GM problem or a coach problem and that's the same person. 

Ron Rivera won because in the midst of all the chaos, he survived cancer. Can you imagine dealing with all that other shit on top of having cancer?

What the chances that Spelly finds himself as the best GM candidate :)

I'm actually surprised that it is taking Spelly to find another NFL GM job but not surprised by Zimmer at all.  

Rick Spielman hired to help Commanders with search for GM, coachSpielman is back in the NFL in an apparent temporary position.

Included in the blockbuster report Monday morning that former Golden State Warriors general manager Bob Myers has been hired to lead the Washington Commanders' search for a new director of football operations and head coach is the name of former Minnesota Vikings general manager Rick Spielman, who has also been brought in as part of the search group. Spielman, out of the NFL since the Vikings made sweeping changes to its front office and coaching staff following the 2021 season, will aid Myers as the Commanders make significant foundational changes after a four-win season that sets them up for the No. 2 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. 
According to ESPN's Josina Anderson, Myers and Spielman have been tasked with "looking for a coach that can create a lasting winning culture similar to the ‘Patriots, Ravens & Chiefs.’"
Both Myers and Spielman have been hired in temporary roles, per Dianna Russini of The Athletic.

Can you imagine with all the money Rivera has, needing that chaos/job, while in the midst of dealing with cancer?

Sure the money can make it easier but it is still cancer. I was just commenting on resiliency of the human spirit. 

Rivera's got a screw loose to take on an NFL franchise while fighting cancer and Washington was morally bankrupt for letting him do it.

After six seasons in charge, Mike Vrabel is out as head coach of the Tennessee Titans.

On Tuesday, owner Amy Adams Strunk announced the move and called
the decision to remove Vrabel “as difficult as any I’ve made as
Controlling Owner.”

Vrabel proved to be an immediate success with the Titans when he
was hired in 2018, leading the team to four consecutive winning seasons.
He was named the NFL’s Coach of the Year in 2021.

Vrabel is someone i would look at adding to the staff.
