Well with the surprising departure of Doug Marrone I'm reminded that we need to chronicle the coaching firings/hirings - one of my favorite things to do:
Job Openings:
NYJ - Rex Ryan fired ATL - Mike Smith fired BUF - Marrone opted out (looks like he's well connected with the Jets) CHI - Trestman fired SF - Harbaugh bolted for Michigan OAK - Who the fuck knows?

I bet it's Mangini to Oakland.

Wait, so now Chip Kelly wants out of Philly?

Wait, so now Chip Kelly wants out of Philly? ... or as it turns out he was just pulling a power play and now has player personnel authority.

A move I'm surprised most coaches don't try and pull.

I still can't believe Harbaugh is gone.

I still can't believe Harbaugh is gone. I'm actually surprised when coaches that have the opportunity to go back to college wind up staying in the NFL. College football coaching at a major program seems like a much more lucrative job than the NFL. Am I wrong?

The big name colleges are certainly more lucrative than the NFL. It depends how you feel about recruiting. I know some coaches hate it. That would keep me in the NFL as I can't imagine conforming my life to 18 year olds every ear.
Michigan is a more prestigious job than most of the NFL gigs.

Looks like Rex to Buffalo.

Any chance Fox loses his job over the Denver loss?

Isn't Buffalo the same situation as Jets? I feel like everyone else and thought he would have done well in Atlanta.
If Fox gets fired they probably lose Manning, assuming he was coming back. Welcome back to mediocrity.
Garrett's a free agent too.

Yeah Buffalo is a bit *too* similar to the Jets. Especially since the Jets seem to be hot for Doug Marrone.
Speaking of which, what are the chances Marrone screwed himself by opting out and will end up demoting himself to a DC somewhere next year?

I thought Marrone had a good thing going there. Need a QB, obviously, but that team was playing hard and well most of the year. Seemed like he was building something. I guess he just didn't like the new ownership? I don't know, seems weird. Yeah, you can't opt out to become a coordinator.

...almost as shocking: too, the entire coaching staff. Did the Broncos just go from potential SB contender to bottom, say, 7?
