Why is the first Monday of each year so important in the NFL?

 

It is typically the day that most NFL teams fire their head coach and/or coordinators after a season of unfulfilled expectations.

Some teams don't even wait till this "official day" any more like the Cleveland Browns (who are always firing coaches) and the Green Bay Packers, who made a rare change. 

The mid-season causalities were former Cleveland Browns coach Hue Jackson and former Green Bay Packers coach Mike McCarthy.

Now, we're awaiting the reports of the next wave of firings. Follow along as the announcements come during the NFL Week 17 games.

Although there is no official word out there yet, John Elway, the Denver Broncos president of football operations/general manager, flirted with the idea of canning Vance Joseph last season in what would have been a "one-and-done" situation in the mile high city. But it appears that Joseph will not survive this year's NFL Black Monday situation. Fox NFL Insider Jay Glazer said on Fox NFL Sunday that he believes Vance Joseph will be one of the coaches fired for the NFL's Black Monday. Stay tuned. 

ARIZONA CARDINALS

No official word from the Arizona Cardinals has been seen yet, but reports over the last week have Steve Wilks as an "one-and-down" NFL head coach. Fox NFL Insider Jay Glazer said on Fox NFL Sunday that he believes Steve Wilks will be one of the coaches fired for the NFL's Black Monday. The former Carolina Panthers defensive coordinator took over the Cardinals last season and has dealt with a bunch of injuries and with inserting rookie quarterback Josh Rosen into the starting lineup. But even with all that, it appears that Wilks will not get a chance to "run it back."

Former Cleveland Browns Head Coach Hue Jackson and former Cleveland Browns offensive coordinator Todd Haley were both fired by the team on Oct. 29, 2018 following a loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. It was rumored that Jackson and Haley didn't get along and Browns management had enough of the quarreling between the two men. The Browns named defensive coordinator Gregg Williams as the interim head coach for the remainder of the 2018 season. In the meantime, Jackson joined the Cincinnati Bengals staff on Nov. 12, 2018 as a "special assistant to the head coach."

Former Green Bay Packers Head Coach Mike McCarthy was fired almost immediately after the Packers lost 20-17 to the 3-9 Arizona Cardinals on Dec. 2, 2018. It has been rumored for months that McCarthy, who has spent the last 13 seasons in Green Bay, and the team's star quarterback Aaron Rodgers were not getting along. McCarthy was on the "hot seat" when the season became and all indications were pointing toward his firing at the conclusion of the season, if the team didn't perform well. The Packers named offensive coordinator Joe Philbin as the team's interim head coach.

MIAMI DOLPHINS' ADAM GASE

The shootout Monday in Los Angeles stirred memories for Gase. Against Denver in 2013, when Peyton Manning was the Broncos' quarterback, and Gase was their offensive coordinator. Because Gase pretended to be fuzzy on the details, someone tried to jog his memory. How many did Denver score in that game? "I don't know,  51?" Gase said. (AP Photo/Gary Landers, File)

JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS' DOUG MARRONE

28. Jaguars (25): They're bad. They're colorful. They could turn around fast in 2019. But will they play for Doug Marrone now that he's cleaning house?

Didn’t take long. Looks like, after an 18-day stint as Temple’s head coach, Diaz will return to his home town as Miami’s head coach. This is being reported. 

How Manny Diaz of him.

Nothing like a commitment after giving Temple your word that you accepted the responsibility to become a head coach.  

The Canes will continue to be both mediocre and overrated.

Well that tells me that Richt must have just woke up one day and wanted out. Had he let Miami know sooner he would be moving on no way they let Diaz go.  I honestly never saw Richt as a fit in Miami even though I know he played there.  That's a guy I'd like to see in the booth. Bet he would do a good job, although there really isn't that much competition.
