Help Wanted!!!!

Week 17 games started and finished. The day head coaches of bad teams have dread since week 13 "Black Monday" has hit the NFL and it was not as bad as expected. Both New York teams look like they are keeping their head coaches when a lot of people wanted them to started over, or thought they should. Jerry Jones has shown faith in Jason Garrett even though this is his third 8-8 finish. The one firing where it makes you shake your head cause you are not quite sure what is going on is in Cleveland. After one season Rob Chudzinski was shown the door along with  a $10 million dollae pay out. In total there was six head coaches that was given the pink slip on Monday ( Browns,Lions,Vikings,Texans, Skins,Buccaneers). I rated the jobs from the best on the market to the the one most coaches are not to thrilled to interview for.

Detroit Lions: Just like the Kansas City Chiefs of last year the Lions are stocked and the right coach signing away from winning their division and more. With Calvin Johnson the best wide out in the NFL along with Reggie Bush the Lions have the star power on offense. They have one of the best defensive lines in the league, they might need to add another pass rusher since they had only one player with more then seven (Ezekiel Ansah) sacks this year. Now the question is what to do with quarterback Matthew Stafford, and is he a product of having the best receiver in the game or is he really that good. Stafford just needs somebody to help him with his mechanics, not a complete overhaul but a little retooling. With the Lions picking in the top ten in a loaded draft this coming April, the Detroit Lions is the job most coaches should want to coach next year.

Houston Texans: I'm still not sure what happen to the Texans this year. They was a Super Bowl contender before the season started. Two games into the season they looked like they was on their way to make that prediction true. 15 games later and they fired Gary Kubiak and Wade Phillips (interim). Unlike the Lions Houston  have quarterback issues. I was never a Matt Schaub fan from the jump and I felt much of his success was from Andre Johnson and Adrian Foster. Case Keenum may not be the answer either which. The one thing they have going for them is on the defense with JJ Watt and Brain Crushing leading this unit they have the ability to be a top 10 defense again.What makes the Texans a good job is they have the first pick in the draft and can go any way, whether it is picking a quarterback or trading down for more draft picks.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Another team with quarterback issues with no answer in sight. Just two years ago the Bucs looked like a young team on the move up the ladder in the NFC South. They had what it seem like a very good young quarterback in Josh Freeman, great young defense and a young coach who looked to be leading them in the right direction. Greg Schiano fate was determined not because he started the season 0-8, but I believe because the way he handle the Josh Freeman situation. The way everything went down Schiano in my opinion lost the respect of some of the players in the locker room. Greg did not leave the cupboard bare, well not on the defense side of the ball. Even with a bottom of the barrel offense the defense finished in the middle of the pack on defense. With the third pick in the draft it gives the in coming coach the opportunity to pick their share of offensive players to fit their system.

Washington Redskins: No first round draft pick because they traded their picked to the Rams last year to move up which resulted in the Skins picking Robert Giffin III. A franchise quarterback who is still struggling to recover from his ACL injury last year. Not every coach is equpped to take the Skins job I feel it is better suited for a lay back coach who has a background in defense, and can work with a young quarterback. With RG3 and Alfred Morris they have a form-able back field. Pierre Garcon is turning out to be a solid number one receiver. The defense has potential, but it is going to be hard work with no first round draft pick and playing in the NFC east does not help.

Cleveland Browns: Inconsistently at the quarterback position will always get a coach fired and it has bitten another coach working for the Browns organization . After trading Trent Richardson it seem like the Browns was willing to rebuild with Rob Chudzinski as their head coach. Nobody would  have guessed that the Browns was going to fire him after one season. Chudzinski had to deal with the most  inconsistent play from his quarterbacks this year, with the future being drafting another quarterback in the first round. There was a some Cleveland players who was in disbelief  when they found out that Rob was getting fired. The Browns are one of the worst job openings this year. They have Josh Gordon, Jordan Cameron, and Greg Little, but nothing else on offense. On defense Joe Hayden and TJ Ward are a solid one-two in the secondary. But the Browns are going to need a lot more then those players to win the AFC North or even a wild card spot in the future.

Minnesota Vikings: The Vikings are in worst shape then the Browns. Who else besides Adrian Peterson do the Vikings have on the offense that can make the opponents defense coordinator fear them? Nobody. The signing of Josh Freeman did not work out like they plan. Matt Cassel  or Christian Ponder does not seem to be franchise quarterbacks. Cordarrelle Patterson was a nice pick up in last year draft though, reminds me of a bigger Percy Harvin. The defense has no young stud but is workable for the incoming coach. The Vikings have to figure out whether they want to sign Jared Allen back. Plus the Vikings will be moving to a new stadium in 2015, so next season they will play all their home games at the university of Minnesota stadium. That is a lot for a coach to think about when deciding to sign a contract with the Vikings.
