So far, the list looks like this:

Gary Kubiak- already fired by the Texans
Rob Chudzinski -fired by the Browns
Leslie Frazier- fired by the Vikes
Mike Shanahan- fired (or just walks out with two middle fingers held up) by the Redskins

Who else gets canned?
 
Not the worst (remaining) coach in the league, Jimmy Schwartz.
 
Miami Herald is reporting that 'Significant Changes' are coming for the Dolphins. Some are speculating that both GM Ireland and HC Philbin are going to get their walking papers.

I heard he's owed $12M if they let him go.

Yup, plus Ford and players love him. The Lions need discipline and help in the secondary. Schwartz is the opposite of a disciplinarian. His players love him because they get away with everything. Can't imagine how good the Lions D-line or offense could be with some discipline.
 
Possible but Schiano probably knows where he stands with the team and most team aren't worrying about a buyout deal as they'll be getting $200M each for new tv contract next year.
 
I don't get the Vikings firing Frazier. Dude didn't have a QB and was able to make the playoffs last year. For a losing team, they always played hard and tough. Their biggest problem was picking Ponder in the middle of the 1st round.

As for other potentials, I can't imagine Tampa wanting to keep Schiano. And if Detroit keeps Schwartz, it's because ownership cares more about $$ than winning. If they can't win the division this year with Rodgers injured and Cutler, Melton and Briggs missing time, it's not going to happen for them next year.
 
Firing Chud is ludicrous. Dude scored a bunch of points and stayed in most every game with a Weeden/Campbell/Hoyer QB trio.

Plus he is solid in-game and might be best in the league at 4th down decisions. Probably most competent person to walk into the building last decade but that is why they are the lolbrowns
 
Chud got a $10.5M buyout for less than a years work.

Completely agree, especially after just 1 season. But the Browns will be the Browns. The universe needs balance, and the AFC needs its equivalent of Detroit.
 
You have to think Cleveland already has someone in mind. However, whomever they are thinking of knows the guy they just fired after less than 12 months got a $10M going-away gift. How much leverage does that guy get now?
