There’s an old adage in specialist sports which coaches are hired to be fired, along with the seemingly endless rotating door of training jobs in the NFL has once again place a litany of seat supervisors in new positions entering the 2019 year round. When it comes to odds on which man will get terminated first, Washington Redskins??coach Jay Gruden tops the list.
Gruden is the +300 favorite at BetOnline ??to get his walking papers, with Pat Shurmur (+700), Matt Patricia (+1000), Bill O’Brien (+1200), Dan Quinn (+1200), Doug Marrone (+1500), Jason Garrett (+1500), Mike Zimmer (+1500), Adam Gase (+2000) and Brian Flores (+2000) rounding out the top 10.
Because he first took the reins??at 2014, Gruden’s Redskins have made the playoffs only once, when Washington ended first in the NFC East at 9-7 SU in 2015 before losing to the Green Bay Packers from the wild-card round.
The beginner quarterback-running back mix of Dwayne Haskins and Derrius Guice has supplied’Skins fans together purpose for hope for your foreseeable future, but it might be insufficient to save Gruden’s occupation if Washington has a rough beginning to the effort. With holes across the roster on both sides of the globe, that’s a realistic chance in D.C.
Remaining at the NFC East, the New York Giants have been set to begin life with no Odell Beckham Jr., however, the Giants could easily find themselves in a similar situation to the Redskins. General director Dave Gettleman’s decision to select Duke quarterback Daniel Jones together using the No. 6 pick from the 2019 NFL Draft raised eyebrows throughout the group, and things got even stranger when he stated he would not mind sitting Jones behind Eli Manning for many seasons.
Given Manning’s current performance, it is hard to think he’ll turn back the clock in 38, so it could be another long season for Big Blue. Shurmur looks just like a capable mentor, however, the absence of ability on offense could finally strikes him if necessary after more sputters under centre.
The coming of Detroit Lions head coach Matt Patricia at the Motor City at 2018 was hailed as a terrific hire at the time, but the Lions did not frighten anyone this past year and ended the season well out of the playoffs in 6-10. Detroit’s roster appears much better after some significant offseason additions, and while I’m not expecting the Lions to contend in the NFC North, I believe that they’ll be great enough to keep the Bill Belichick disciple in his own place for the time being.
