This is the first of probably 6 coaches to be fired this year.
Other coaches to lose their jobs, or on the HOT SEAT, I think are as follows.
Mai-Wanny----gone for sure
N.O.-Haslett---should be fired, but could last 1 more year
ATL-Reeves-Already FIRED 
SEA-Holmgren--will get 1 more year
NYG-Fassel--2 yrs ago in Superbowl...what have you done for me lately???--GONE
ARIZ-Mcginnis--GONE
Maybe Buffalo coach too. I dounbt this. The know they are young and rebuilding.
Just in: under the new rules Atlanta will be fined $500,000.00 for not interviewing a minority head caoch to fill in for Reeves for the final 3 games of the year. The gave that job to Wade (overrated) Phillips.

Interesting thoughts... here's my take on the NFL Coaching fraternity and the percent chance that they return to the same position in the 2004 season.
NFC:
Arizona - Dave McGinnis - 10% - Has been in the basement for too long despite player loyalty.
Atlanta - Dan Reeves - GONE - Made a mistake when he criticized Vick's slow return from injury.
Carolina - John Fox - 100% - Has had an excellent season.
Chicago - Dick Jauron - 50% - Just isn't getting it done, though late surge could help him.
Dallas - Bill Parcells - 100% - Could be Coach of the Year. He'll leave when he wants to.
Detroit - Steve Mariucci - 100% - Certainly gets more than one year.
Green Bay - Mike Sherman - 90% - Packers are still a contender. They need some more players.
Minnesota - Mike Tice - 90% - Coach brought team together, though mid-season collapse hurts.
New Orleans - Jim Haslett - 35% - Haslett hasn't been able to get team over hump, despite talent.
New York - Jim Fassel - 5% - Team is unexplicably bad this year. Fassel's routine is tired.
Philadelphia - Andy Reid - 100% - Held team together through adversity. Possible Coach of the Year.
San Francisco - Dennis Erickson - 100% - Will get more than one year to fix the Niners.
St. Louis - Mike Martz - 100% - Rams are a contender again. Martz sticking to Bulger helps.
Seattle - Mike Holmgren - 100% - Seattle in the playoff race. Team is young and talented.
Tampa Bay - Jon Gruden - 100% - Despite team fallout, he'll return.
Washington - Steve Spurrier - 35% - Ball coach can't get it done in big leagues, back to minors despite recent public assurances from Snyder.
AFC:
Baltimore - Brian Billick - 100% - Dislikeable as he is, the team keeps winning.
Buffalo - Gregg Williams - 75% - Team has bright future, just needs a QB with more mobility.
Cincinnati - Marvin Lewis - 100% - Probably Coach of the Year for his revival of the team.
Cleveland - Butch Davis - 50% - Team turmoil with Couch, Kevin Johnson, and William Green. Might be gone.
Denver - Mike Shanahan - 100% - The job is his as long as he wants it. Denver still a contender.
Houston - Dom Capers - 100% - Has done an excellent job bringing team along.
Indianapolis - Tony Dungy - 85% - Unless there is another embarrassing playoff complete collapse, Dungy is safe.
Jacksonville - Jack Del Rio - 100% - First year coach has bright future.
Kansas City - Dick Vermeil - 100% - Sealed his Hall of Fame berth this year.
Miami - Dave Wannstedt - 65% - Team really needs to succeed late. Offense still struggles despite Ricky.
New England - Bill Belichick - 100% - One of the best coaches in the league.
New York - Herman Edwards - 80% - Lost QB for more than half of season. Will get one more year to succeed.
Oakland - Bill Callahan - 0% - Angered veterans and lost team in dismal season.
Pittsburgh - Bill Cowher - 80% - Has track record to back him up. Team needs new QB and RB to succeed.
San Diego - Marty Schottenheimer - 80% - Needs to succeed next season, or gig could be done early.
Tennessee - Jeff Fisher - 100% - Underrated coach, outside of Tennessee.
