The Coaching Carousel Continues

We turn our focus to the NFL, which has had some crazytown developments over the past 24 hours.

First, the incomparably incompetent Marvin Lewis will be returning for yet another year in Cincinnati.  I can only imagine that the conversations between the front office and Marvin go like this:


Owner: Marvin, we went 5-11 again this year
Marvin: Seriously, it's not my fault. 
Owner:  OK.  Just wanted to check

So the Bengals will be bad, officially, next year with this contract extension complete.

The latest news on the Carousel is that Oakland's Tom Cable (the same Tom Cable who didn't lose a single game in his division.  The same Tom Cable who coached a poor Raiders team to an 8-8 record) will not be returning to the team next year.  Apparently Skeletor's twin brother, Al Davis, believes he will be able to find a better coach at a cheaper price.  Only bad news on that theory is that Cable is a good coach and the lowest paid head guy in the NFL. 

Glad to see the Raiders will be 4-12 again next year.  Good call, Al Davis.

  1. I love to see it all fall down.. I can't believe friggin Lewis is back. How do you keep a coach who doesn't know how to win games. Not only losing games but losing every close game they were in. If Bilicheck coaches that same team they finish at least 500... He wins close games..

    As for Tom Cable. I hate the Raiders and hate everything that team stands for. Al Davis is a jackass and deserves to sell the team. I feel bad for Cable, he was the perfect guy for that job. I am not sure if he would be perfect for any other jobs in the NFL.
