Nfl Tickets - Week 10 Brings Controversy With Coaches
The NFL's regular season keeps tearing through the weeks
, and it's truly safe to say (after Week 10, anyway) that anything can happen to lower or raise the stock of a team very, very quickly - especially when it comes to the coaching staff. Football coaches are praised and criticized about as fast as the snap of a finger at times, and here are some of the coaches who are under fire after Week 10 and how they fare with job security.
Bill Belichick, New England Patriots: Bill Belichick is one of the most-respected coaches in the league, and perhaps that's why he's getting so much flak for calling a fourth-and-2 run for his team's offense with two minutes remaining on the clock in the Week 10 Patriots-Colts matchup. There were a number of factors in determining how the game played out (35-34 Colts with a last-second TD by Reggie Wayne), but Belichick's decision to run a fourth-and-2 play from New England's own 28-yard line earned him plenty of critics once the play failed to convert into another first down.
Verdict: His risky play could have either hailed him a genius or an idiot, and that was a gamble Bill Belichick was willing to take. The New England coach is still a Super Bowl-winning machine, and his team sells out NFL tickets just as fast as they're available every year. This coach isn't going to get fired because of one gutsy call, but chances are he won't be calling another play like that anytime soon.
Dick Jauron, ex-Buffalo Bills: Dick Jauron is an NFL coach no more, as he was ousted by the Buffalo Bills after losing to the Tennessee Titans 41-17 in Week 10. Jauron couldn't control his 3-6 Bills, and he's been constantly under fire this year starting with the preseason, when he fired his offensive coordinator. Perry Fewell has been named interim head coach for the Bills, but things still don't look pretty for Buffalo.
Verdict: He's outta here, but Jauron's early exit from Buffalo won't be a quick fix to the Bills' problems.
Eric Mangini, Cleveland Browns: Do we smell a revolt here? Mangini's 1-8 Browns are struggling to survive, and now Mangini also might be putting up a fight - to keep his job, that is. The former head coach of the New York Jets is under scrutiny for working his players too hard, an accusation that team captain and starting running back Jamal Lewis brought to light recently and made even more obvious with the investigation of the coach's post-practice "opportunity periods," where two Cleveland players have suffered serious injuries this year.
Jamal Lewis has since backtracked on his criticism of Mangini, but it's obvious where the players' loyalties lie. After Lewis lashed out about Mangini working the Browns to death, team members got up and saluted not Mangini but Brown, chanting "J-Lew, J-Lew, J-Lew." Cleveland's subpar record and play this year are also in consideration for Mangini, and he's got a lot of making up to do during the second half of the season.
Verdict: Mangini's status as head coach of the Cleveland Browns is definitely in question, and he's got to get his team to win more games to have a shot at staying another year.
Bud Adams, Tennessee Titans: He's not an NFL coach, but what in the world is Bud Adams thinking? That's what football fans are uttering in the wake of the Titans owner's one-finger salute to the Buffalo Bills after the Week 10 matchup. The 86-year-old owner was slapped with a $250,000 fine for flipping the bird to Buffalo fans after the Bills game, afterward issuing an apology by saying, "I got caught up in the excitement of a great day, but I do realize that those types of things shouldn't happen."
Verdict: The fine seems a little hefty for such a crime, but rules are rules - and the NFL doesn't mess around in that aspect. Ultimately, Adams is his own boss, and his role with the Titans won't change because of this bizarre and laughable but inappropriate moment.
