Looks like both Pete Carroll and the mighty Bill Belichick are gone. Here's the current Black Monday summary of NFL head coach openings:
Team - Coach
Atlanta - Arthur Smith
Carolina - Frank Reich (fired in-season)
L.A. Chargers - Brandon Staley (fired in-season)
Las Vegas - Josh McDaniels (fired in-season)
New England - Bill Belichick
Seattle - Pete Carroll
Tennessee - Mike Vrabel
Washington - Ron Rivera
That's 8 openings - a quarter of the league! This is probably it for now, although Mike McCarthy could still get booted if Dallas has another disappointing playoff run.
Gotta say, Vrabel's firing in Nashville was a surprise. How that team remained competitive this year is a borderline miracle. It tells me Vrabel is a real leader who had great player support.
Probably a decent chance Vrabel just slides over to his old stomping grounds in New England.
