Black Monday 2012/Coach Carousel

[Hooe]

Not sure if this belongs in football off-topic or if it should be its own thread, but I'm gonna try this route because yay new threads.

"Black Monday", as we all know, is the dreaded day at the end of the season where unsuccessful NFL coaches are relieved of their duties. Some coaches' fates appear to be sealed - Andy Reid, Romeo Crennel, and Norv Turner, to name three - while there are a few others who could see their terms come to a surprising premature end - examples include Mike Mularkey, Chan Gailey, Ron Rivera, or even Ken Whisenhunt, Jim Schwartz, Rex Ryan, or Jason Garrett.

Who do you think survives to next season? Who gets the axe?

I think the only way Jason Garrett gets the axe is if a) we get blown out Sunday and b) Jerry has had not-exactly-legal discussions with Sean Payton.

That said, I think Garrett's job is safe. I don't think Whisenhunt will get the boot either.

I heard Pat Shurmur is gone.

Chan's job seems safe unless somebody higher up threatens Mr. Nix to fire him or else. I'm still torn as to whether or not I like the idea of Chan staying.

I personally feel like teams should hold to their contracts, and that contracts should be shorter.

Yes, Garrett seems safe.

Pat Shurmur is dead meat. He'd already likely be losing his job because of poor coaching on a decently talented team, but with ownership and regime change, he is totally toast.

I've seen multiple reports that Garrett is safe

Well in fairness, if I recall correctly there were reports Wade Phillips was safe up until the moment Jerry fired him.
