Which Trash Team Rules The NFL's Dumpster?

"The National Football League has a firings gap. Though still the worldwide leader in commercial interruptions and enormous American flags, the NFL has fallen shamefully behind its college cousin at the vital measure of in-season coach firings; that figure is currently eight, and Mike Norvell, Hugh Freeze, Bill Belichick, and Luke Fickell haven't gotten done yet. The Premier League has seen two guys fired by the same team in the past six weeks. THE SAME TEAM."

"That's not the same as the simultaneously arcane and lyrical phrase of "blowing it up," but it is something. The Titans indirectly acknowledged that they may have aimed too low by sending interim coach Mike McCoy out for an 18-point loss to New England on Sunday; admitting the depth of the problem will necessarily take some time. But at least they have acknowledged what can't be denied."

"Despite the best efforts of the Dan LeBatard show's conga line of drunken parrots, the Miami Dolphins are not a national team. They also aren't doing anything in particular, and have reiterated through the NFL Network's Ian Rapoport that no changes are planned re: the employment status of general manager Chris Grier and coach Mike McDaniel. There isn't even a plan to bench $212 million quarterback Tua Tagovailoa for his recent acts of on-and-off-field self-immolation."

The NFL lags behind college football and the Premier League in the rate of in-season coach firings, with only eight firings so far. Several high-profile coaches remain in place despite poor team performance. The Tennessee Titans have fired coach Brain Callahan while retaining key front-office executives, acknowledging deeper organizational problems after an 18-point loss under interim coach Mike McCoy. The Miami Dolphins remain committed to keeping general manager Chris Grier and coach Mike McDaniel despite a 1-6 record and recent 31-6 loss, with no plan announced to bench $212 million quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. The Premier League recently saw a club fire two managers in six weeks, underscoring the contrast.
