I suspect San Diego will have a new coach next year. I also expect that coach to be:

John Fox

Yes, thats right. He has ties to the area, and he is VERY likely to be let go at the end of this season (and I won't be unhappy about that).

I really don't think highly of Turner as a coach. He took a team that was GREAT under Marty S, and has made them into merely an average team.

Fox needs a change of scenery, and the Panthers need someone new to invigorate them. I suspect Cowher will be our HC, but Jerry Jones and his Brinks truck at Cowher's back door may have something to say about that. If its not Cowher, I want Shanahan (also in the mix in Dallas), Marty S, Jack Del Rio (a former Panther DC and in the hotseat in Jacksonville) or pipe dream Mike Singletary. I also wouldn't mind Gruden, though I don't think he will stay in the NFC South if he returns to coaching this year.

Cable's time in Oakland is ticking down, and while Al will throw out the money, I don't see a highly rated coach going there. Sorry Neal, but can you see Shanahan or Cowher dealing with marching orders from Al? Shanahan will want some front office control, and Cowher would likely walk to the skybox and thrust his chin into Al's face before responding with his own version of "I call the shots on the field!".

The eagles had a REALLY bad game. How did they lose? They underestimated the opponent. It happens. Jets did the same thing with the Bills. Of course, the clock mismanagement by Reid didn't help. If you want just tell the Eagles front office folks to trade us McNabb for Peppers and Delhomme and then come back and tell me what you think of the Eagles. You guys had an off game, relax.

Jeff Fisher in Tennessee went from 0-5 and perfectly comfortable, to 0-6 and people being stunned at what the owner said regarding a change. Still, winning is a wonderous cure in the NFL for most, so if hey can pull out a few victories, expect that talk to die down. Still, if he can't get to 7-9, he will be talking to other teams early this offseason. He won't go jobless for long though.
