As I sit here about to write my article on the NFL’s Strongest and Weakest Divisions on a rainy, cold day here in Canada, I wonder if it is more stormy here or in a few of the Head Coaches offices in the NFL right now.  There are a few coaches with a very tenuous hold on their jobs right now such as Andy Reid, Mike Mularkey, Norv Turner, Romeo Crennel, Rex Ryan, Pat Shurmer and others.  Today’s NFL is a cutthroat business but it amazes me how some of these coaches who have shown nothing but mediocrity are still employed.  Sure they all have either an offensive or defensive pedigree so they shouldn’t be out of a job for long, but many of them make questionable “Head Coaching” decisions which have made the team worse.  Staying the course isn’t a good philosophy when you’re losing every week, as is not knowing why your best player only had 6 touches in a game.  As an owner who wants to put asses in the seats, you have to make some decisions as to coaching changes that may not be popula...

Turner: Not time to bench Rivers

Eagles Loss Means End of an Era for Vick and Reid

Associated Press The sand is beginning to run out in the hourglass that has been the season for the Philadelphia Eagles.

Philadelphia Eagles: Week 11 NFL Power Rankings (#21)

Last week: 18 (-3) Record: 3-6 It was a very smart of Andy Reid to “rest” Michael Vick the rest of the way. He’s not making the playoffs, but he can still save his job if Nick Foles goes say 4-3. He can blame their slow start on Vick and his history developing quarterbacks will probably convince management to let Reid stick around and develop the promising young quarterback...
