I don't think he will get fired but I, personally, want San Diego Chargers head coach, Norv Turner, to leave

It is not nice to fire a coach just because he has a losing record. And once a coach accepts a job it should be his for life. After all are we not talking about the FFL (French Football League) where once hired on you stay there for life even if you don't produce.
Bobby Petrino is an ingrate for taking the Arkansas job. Who does he think he is for wanting a job he enjoys?
Arthur Blank should hire Bob Griese to coach the Falcons since he, Griese, has all the answers. Griese was a whiner when Steve Spurrier won the Heisman and he is still whining. But as a coach Griese is undefeated. His record you may ask? 0-0. He has never been the head coach in college or the NFL. Being a good NFL QB does not automatically qualify a person for success in the pros.

First off, jim c, are you truly being serious about Lovie Smith? He led the Bears to a Super Bowl appearance last season for goodness sake!!!!!!!!!! They haven't totally sucked this year, and they're no worse from where they were in his rookie season.
For the person who said that Cameron was the only coach on a hot seat, do you seriously think that coaches on other teams are not under pressure just because the Dolphins have the worst record in football? Of course not!!!!!!!!!
John Fox is the obvious candidate. Panthers have done nothing since reaching SB XXXVIII, and every year they promise much and deliver nothing. Yes, I know they've had their injuries, but back in 2004 they had injuries all over the team and yet only finished one game out of the playoffs, only being eliminated in Week 17. This season has just been a bad coaching job, and it wouldn't be a surprise to see him go.
I also get the feeling that Joe Gibbs will walk before he is pushed and return to NASCAR. And maybe Brian Billick will be feeling nervous about his future job prospects in Baltimore.
Other than that, if the comments about Marvin Lewis guaranteed to return are true, I cannot see any other coach leaving/being fired. Of course, anything can happen, and nobody saw the Petrino thing coming, did they?

I think Lovie Smith, Marv Lewis, Mike Nolan, Brian Billick, Norv Turner, Cam Cameron, Eric Mangini, John Fox, Tom Coughlin, Andy Reid, and Scott Linehan are all potential coaches who could lose jobs at the end of the year even those some of those teamsplayed good and some had allot of injuries but you hire coaches to coach to play winners and those ones didn't do that to stay competative. Possibly Mike Shanahan might be let go seems that team might be in need of a change after what 12 years Mike Holmgren in Seattle also and take the San Fran GM job if its offered. Joe Gibbs will probably retire again and that job will be open. Who knows who will take over the Falcons but seems to me they should have kept Mora he had players who would play for him instead of getting job hopping Petrino and now they got a mess there. Coaches who saved their jobs this season were Jauron in Buffalo, Crenel in Cleveland, Del Rio in Jacksonville and Gruden in Tampa the rest of the coaches left i dont think they will be let go atleast for 1 to 3 more years

Norv Turner should be fired but I have heard that he won't be.
Lane Kiffin will resign and go back to the college game.
Nolan is done in San Francisco, they will fire him after the year is done.
Kansas City has to fire Herm Edwards, he has destroyed that team.
Chicago will fire Lovey
John Fox is a good coach but maybe Carolina is not a good fit for him. I keep hearing he will be fired.
Cammy should be fired right after Norvy, they don't have a brain between them.
Baltimore, the NY Jets and the NY Giants should fire their coaches but won't and will remain underachieving teams next year. Both are aging and not getting better.
I am an Eagles fan so Andy Reid has to go, we still have no weapons for Donovan no power running game and the D is aging before our eyes. I wish him well, go take care of your family lose some weight and relax.
Every year I think, well that's it for a few years. We can't possible have 8-10 changes every year for 32 jobs.

Look for Cam Cemorn of the Dolphins, Scott Linehan of the Rams, and Mike Nolan of the niners to be fired
I have a hunch Joe Gibbs might retire, and that John Fox might resign in Carolina

marvin lewis will be out in cincy. he's had 5 years and he has proven nothing.
i think john fox is also out in carolina. the panthers will be lucky to finish 6-10 and this is after last year being a superbowl favorite before the season started and then missing the play-offs.
Cameron gets a pass this year the hired him knowing it was a long rebuilding process they were'nt expecting 0-16 bad but he'll be back
Nolan is on a short leash too but when trent dilfer is your starting qb. what a bust alex smith has become!!

I think John Fox will get the boot next... Marvin Lewis n Eric Mangini might also carpool it to the unemployment office too.. And on their way pick up Mike Nolan... I honestly don't see Cam Cameron getting fired..even if Miami goes 0-16.. I say they give him another shot...
Brian Belick is also a potential target but I doubt he will... even tho he said he was sitll gonna be there next yr no one from Baltimore confirmed it... IF he does I think he might end up in ATL!!!! (If possible)

Cam Cameron (The Dolphins are so bad Chuck Noll wouldn't last a year)
Eric Mangini (the spy-gate reporting worked out real well)
Mike Nolan (picked to win NFC west, not even close)
Joe Gibbs (1. shouldn't have come back to begin with 2. two words Daniel Snyder)
Marvin Lewis (his team piles more arrests than wins)
