Coaching Changes around the NFL

New York Giants fired Head Coach Norman Fiore and hired Buddy Martin. Fiore led the Giants to an 11-7 record and the NFC East Crown. Martin is a 64 year veteran who did not coach last season. Martin is known as an excellent motivator and has excellent skills at developing offensive and defensive game plans, a true tactician is a safe description.

San Francisco fired Head Coach Ricky Williams and brought in Ted Theriot from Tennessee, who had a falling out with the Titans' front office. Williams led the 49ers to a 12-6 record and the Conference Championship. Many around the Bay Area feel that Williams was let go because the Niners had a crack at Theriot who led the Titans to the AFC Crown and the Super Bowl berth.

Tennessee did the smart thing and hired a proven coach in Norman Fiore. Fiore kept his Giants in the hunt throughout the begininning of the season, despite losing their starting QB for the first half of the year. Fiore is a displine style coach, something that Theriot was not. It will be interesting to see how the Titans respond.

Coordinator Positions

Following the firing of Williams, San Francisco Defensive Coordinator, Jason Floyd left the bay area and signed with Miami after the Dolphins Burdette left for more money in Philadelphia.

Miami lost their own Defensive Coordinator, Phillip Burdette in a bidding war to Philadelphia. Philadelphia desperatly wants to get back to the winnning ways they have become accostomed to after a disappointing 5-11 season.

To replace Defensive Coordinator Jason Floyd, San Francisco signed Butch Fuentes away from Oakland. Head Coach Theriot feels more comfortable with the younger Fuentes as opposed to the veteran Jason Floyd and his loyalty towards Williams.

Oakland brings in Donovan Duncan to run the Silver and Black Defense. Duncan is unproven in his NFL coaching career.

Pittsburgh did not waste any time when all the coaching positions were filled in going after former San Francisco coach, Ricky Williams. Williams will run the team's Defense for the retried Ralph Schader.
