One of the most overrated coaches of the past decade. Has lived off Cowher's teams the first few years and a great front office.
The new Marvin Lewis!
Unfortunately not - he has been fired this morning. Happy New Year, Vance!
Adam Gase fired too.
Marvin Lewis fired!
About ten years too late.

Wilks has told the team he won't be back, but nothing official there yet.
To be replaced by Hue Jackson probably
True, and no one has figured out how to stop the rushing game yet. But if anyone has a chance it's a team that saw it a couple of weeks ago. I'd have rather the ravens played anyone other than the Chargers.
Errrbody getting pink slips
Most of the firings were expected to be fair
Gase? He way overachieved being in the PO race in the first place with that squad.
Why have the Vikings sucked so much this season? Plenty of people had them as one of the favourites in the NFC before the season
Yea sure let's go for another defensive guy.
feck sake Elway.
feck sake Elway.
Gase is one of those who wasn’t so obvious yeah.
Falcons have axed Sarkisian, the man whose shit play calling contributed massively in last January's loss at Philly, something Eagles fans should never forget to send annual thank you cards.
My thoughts exactly. Wtf
I naively kept hoping they would topple the Patriots in the AFC.
Keep hating mate , I can see that the fact that Eagles finally won a SB still hurts you
TBF, the Falcons were one play away from beating us.
Apparently there was an argument between big Ben and Brown, leading to Brown throwing something at Ben, then skipping practices all week and finally being told he wasn't playing the last game. He turned up expecting to play. WTF is up with these guys, why are they such divas?
From everyone else's perspective it's on par with Liverpool winning something - all the fans shit talking for years from a club with zero pedigree and no winning finally won something to crow about.
Why was Adam Gase fired? Looked like he did a decent job.
He should get one of the other vacancies no?

Yeah I expect Gase to land firmly on his feet, likely at a better organisation than the Dolphins who are a joke.
Don’t think any vacancy is worse than the Dolphins.
Guy has made decent play off attempts with the likes of Cutler and Osweiler at QB and a very depleted roster which has lost some of its better players over the last couple seasons.
Surprised Elway has already ruled out Gase or at least said he isn’t presently a candidate.
I think he’d be a good match there.

I wouldn't mind Gase in Denver. Much better than that hack Lincoln Riley.
Please don't hire him
Please don't hire him
Definitely some issues there.
Given how fruitful the Ben and Antonio pairing has been, it’s surprising. There’s fundamental issues with ethos character and team spirit there.

He got a good few years left on his deal though. But he is 30. If Steelers go rebuild, you could see them trading him. But they still have enough talent on offence to try and bring it together, upgrade on defence in FA and draft, and make a run for it with Big Ben still there.
No, this was their window. If they couldn't make a deep push into the playoffs with that offense, main division rival Baltimore running a 70's college football offense with a rookie QB, and the Pats in an average year by their standards then they've got problems.
It was a very good opportunity for them. But it’s a talented team. It’s wrong to say the window is closed. It’s unlikely yeah. But possible.
Amazed he didn’t get whacked one.
The Ravens have averaged 230 rushing yards in the seven games since Lamar Jackson took over. Fecking hell.
So who's going to the Super Bowl and which one is winning it?
Saints repping the NFC, they're the clear favourites imo. Can't see the Bears winning in LA and then in the Dome should that be their path to Atlanta, but they're a dangerous outsider with a smothering D.
AFC is so wide-open, most unpredictable it's been in years imo. You have one of the best teams in the league as #5 and an MVP-calibre QB for the #6 seed who ended the season 9-1 in their last 10. The Ravens D is so good and their rushing game gives them the opportunity to suffocate the opposition. Then there's the top 2 seeds, but Brady and Mahomes don't need an explanation anymore. It'll be great to watch.
Going for a Saints-Pats Super Bowl though. Lamar Jackson is a bit too inexperienced to win two PO games on the road, and Mahomes' defense is not good enough imo.
