That's crappy he's never had really good players on that team, and his GM did nothing to keep Cousins in town.

I agree with that. Snyder is more of a problem. I’m not sure if Gruden would have done anything special with a good roster, but having an owner who is too involved must be difficult. Plus, Snyder is just a POS. Wasn’t there something where he had trees cut down in a national park so his view would be better, and got a park ranger fired who wasn’t happy about it?

Quinn needs to be the first HC fired. No current coach has done less with as much.

The bigger question regarding Jay Gruden: where does he end up in the off-season? In L.A. with McVay or with the Raiders andhis brother?

Jay Gruden is an odd one. I feel like he does a good job with QBs and the offense. I think his teams overachieved with Cousins (except for Cousins' last year). But he also had McVay at that time. However, his team was 6-4 last year before Alex Smith got hurt. I feel like he's a solid HC and a good offensive mind. He needs to hire better DCs, though. Joe Berry and Manusky were terrible hires. So yeah, I can't blame them for firing him, but I don't think he's a bad coach. I'd say he's like Jim Caldwell. He's average.

Gotta wait and see on Quinn. They suffered a ridiculous number of injuries last year. Before that, Quinn was doing well. It's not easy to fire a guy who got you to the Super Bowl and probably should have won it. But again, like Gruden losing McVay, he hasn't looked the same since Kyle Shanahan left.

For me, the hot-seat coaches would be:
Jay Gruden (WAS)
Freddie Kitchens (CLE)
Dan Quinn (ATL)
Ron Rivera (CAR)

I also think guys like Doug Marrone (JAX) and Bill O'Brien (HOU) could be in trouble if they underperform. Finally, first-year HCs like Adam Gase (NYJ), Kliff Kingsbury (ARI), and Vic Fangio (DEN) could get dumped if their teams continue to look bad.

Yeah you have to think Allen and Snyder are the issues with the Redskins but it doesn't look like those two will ever leave. I almost feel for whoever comes after Jay.

Well when either he or Kyle Shanahan get fired they can come work for McVay.

I can absolutely see Tomlin and the Steelers "agreeing to part ways" after the season. The Rooney's to my knowledge have never fired somebody and doubt they start with him. But I can see them making a change especially if Ben retires after this year, and if he comes back I can see the change being put off a year as Ben is only signed thru 2020 IIRC. And Washington and Pittsburgh are the two teams that I could see going with Jim Harbaugh possibly.
