You can add Todd Bowles to that list - the Jets fired him right after yesterday’s game.

How long does Elway have? Hard to fire a legend, but what has he done? (BTW, I really don’t care about NFL anymore, but this is an interesting management question)

four black head coaches have been fired. Now that they can get hired like anyone else, they can get fired like anyone else.

They are not hired like anyone else. The NFL mandates that teams have to consider Black/minority coaches first.

They have finally decided that winning is more important than affirmative action.

All 4 black coaches deserved to be fired.
So did a few white coaches.

Now former Bengals coach Marvin Lewis: Its been a lot. This seasons been a lot. From (the season opener in) Indianapolis, the ride home on the bus, all the way through, its been a lot. Huh? WTF does that mean? Is this guy a retard or something?
To: Ingtar
Where did you get the idea they were hired different from public employment? If you meant they were treated different from the players and their contracts, you are correct because there is no union for the coaches like the NFLPA. But racial employment quotas have been around for decades.
I was stuck in one in 1973 when I tested extremely high in hydro-electrics to get hired by Southern California Edison. But because they were behind in the “quota,” I couldn’t be hired for an estimated 6 years. I went back into the military and finished my career as they don’t care what color you are for enlisting. It’s just numbers that have electricity moving between their ears.

This should be considered a good sign for equality in the NFL coaching ranks, and I'm being serious - the hiring and firing of black coaches is not considered a big deal in the NFL anymore, it's as routine as it is for white coaches and that's the way it should be.

How long does Elway have? I have read that the way things are setup in Denver, being Pat Bowlen is out of the picture with Alzheimer's, and his kids do not have control of the team yet, that only Elway can fire Elway because there is no one above him in the Broncos hierarchy.

Sorry to hear you were denied a job because of the color of your skin.
Sounds like discrimination to me.

Is this being asked sarcastically? He's gotten the Broncos to the Super Bowl twice in 7 years. Since 2011 (when Elway was made the GM and VP of football operations), the Broncos have had the third best record in the NFL.
Vance Joseph was obviously not ready to be an NFL head coach yet, but good luck finding someone better than John Elway to be the GM of the Broncos. The biggest concern the Broncos should have is that Elway doesn't need the job and could choose to leave on his own.
