Found November 29, 2010 on Shutdown Corner:
Embattled NFL head coaches. Leslie Frazier made his head-coaching debut for the Vikings yesterday and came out with a hard-earned win. Now, beating the 2010 Redskins isn't going to get anyone named the Employee of the Month, but this wasn't a gimme, either. It was a road game against a .500 team, and considering the mess the Vikings put on the field last week, a win this week is a nice feather in the cap for any coach. I'm thrilled for Frazier. I wonder, though, if this win from Frazier, combined with the early success of Jason Garrett in Dallas, will lead to a quicker trigger finger for NFL owners disappointed in their coaches. Trends dominate the NFL. If something works for one team, expect 20 teams to copy it within a week. The midseason firing of a struggling coach may not be a trend yet, but are we headed in that direction? I'm not saying it's a good thing or a bad thing -- it's hard to argue with the results -- but this can't be good news...
