[snip] within a two-hour span the following were sacked: Andy Reid in Philadelphia, Lovie Smith in Chicago, Norv Turner in San Diego, Pat Shurmur in Cleveland, Romeo Crennel in Kansas City and Chan Gailey in Buffalo [/snip]

In Chicago, Devin Hester cleaned out his locker and threatened to retire. Hey, if the Bears’ management want to regard this as insubordination, I’m sure the Lions would take DH right now.

[snip] The Arizona Cardinals have fired coach Ken Whisenhunt after six seasons that included the long-suffering franchise’s only Super Bowl appearance. The team also ousted general manager Rod Graves, who had been with the franchise for 16 years. He’d been general manager since 2007... The housecleaning by Cardinals President Michael Bidwill, son of team owner Bill Bidwill, followed a season that saw the team start 4-0 but lose 11 of its last 12 to finish 5-11. [/snip]
