If only Indianapolis had a few vacancies right now. The Colts really need to clean house.

.600 win percentage avg. last 5 years.

.614 over 18 years with Ravens.

It’s not like the wheels just came off all of a sudden.

Didn’t they start 7-1, best team in the league?

It’s been reported that Harbaugh makes over $16 million annually. That has inspired me to apply for his job.

I don’t know much about football. But hey, the Raiders have done dumb things in the past. So I think I’ve got a decent chance.

👍🏻

Ravens, not Raiders. I hope that the Ravens’ front office doesn’t notice my mistake.

For real old timers, a kid named Dowler caught the winning TD pass for Montana State vs. Illinois State in FCS div 1 championship last night

I see this as a mistake. I see most of the firings this year as mistakes.

Harbaugh will get another job.

Look at Kevin Stefanski. He is a two time Coach of the Year. The problems with their winning percentage were due to the owner, not the coach. They kept the GM, who was second most to blame. They probably did Stefanski a favor, but likely they will have a worse coach next year.


I understand why Gannon and Morris were fired, but probably should have kept them.

Hey, Tom Brady hired Pete Carroll, why pretend otherwise now?

That is shocker.

Harbaugh won't have a problem finding another head coaching job if he wants one.
