NFL Coaches Hot Seat Has Plenty of Heat

It's now week 7 of the 2013 NFL season, and one of the more disturbing trends in football nowadays is the coaches hot seat. Seemingly a peak meter that fans and media alike keep consistent track of from the word go is at full tilt this week.

Plenty of teams have underachieved this year, and there are others who have coaches who knew, coming into this season, that they had to win or else.  So who's on the hot seat? What's the temperature?
Take a look below:

Team
Coach
Seat
Prediction
New York Giants
Tom Coughlin (0-6)
Projection: (3-13)
Luke Warm
Giants will win 2-3 games, but Coughlin will come back.
New York Jets
Rex Ryan (3-3)
Projection: (6-10)
Luke Warm
They said his relationship with GM was better, but if things go south toward a 6-10 finish, he’s out.
Buffalo Bills
Doug Marone (2-4)
Projection: (5-11)
Cool
Expectations were already low. Marone gets 1 more year.
Cincinnati Bengals
Marvin Lewis (4-2)
Projection: (10-6)
Cool
If CIN misses or losses in playoffs he could be in trouble.
Pittsburgh Steelers
Mike Tomlin (1-4)
Projection: (9-7)
Ice Cold
Pittsburgh doesn’t fire winning coaches.
Houston Texans
Gary Kubiak (2-4)
Projection: (7-9)
Hot
He’s a goner. Texans are going to miss playoffs.
Tennessee Titans
Mike Muncheck (3-3)
Projection: (7-9)
Luke Warm
Like Rex Ryan, if he finishes worse than 7-9/8-8, he’s out.
Jacksonville Jaguars
Gus Bradley (0-6)
Projection: (1-15)
Luke Warm
Came into a mess, deserves another year to work it out, but we’ve seen 1st year coaches go before. He’s out.
Oakland Raiders
Dennis Allen (2-4)
Projection: (4-12)
Warm
Allen is out no matter what.
Dallas Cowboys
Jason Garrett (3-3)
Projection: (8-8)
 Warm
Garrett will likely get fired even if Dallas makes the playoffs.
Washington Redskins
Mike Shanahan (1-4)
Projection: (5-11)
Luke Warm
IF RGIII wants him out, Shanahan is out.
Detroit Lions
Jim Schwartz (4-2)
Projection: (9-7)
Cool
DET has to make the playoffs. Right now they are in position to either make it or blow it. Blow it, good bye.
Minnesota Vikings
Leslie Fraizer (1-4)
Projection: (6-10)
Warm
Could get a second chance. MIN made playoffs last year.
Atlanta Falcons
Mike Smith (1-4)
Projection: (7-9)
Luke Warm
Deserves another shot. This year is a freak year.
Carolina Panthers
Ron Rivera (2-3)
Projection: (7-9)
Hot
Might get fired no matter what.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Greg Schiano (0-5)
Projection: (1-15)
Boiling Hot
He is going to be 1st coach fired.

Jets, Dolphins and Patriots Playoff Breakdown

Here are the formuli that could get the Jets into and out of the playoff party this season: 1) If the Jets win against Seattle and Miami, they win the AFC East based on a better conference record (8-4) than the New England Patriots, even if New England wins out as well. 2) If the Patriots win out and the Dolphins win out and finish at 11-5, the Jets would be 10-6, or 9-7, and probably out of the playoffs. Both New England and Miami would make the playoffs, with the Dolphins as a divison winner and the Patriots as a wild card. The Patriots make the postseason if Baltimore loses one of its final two games. 3) If the Patriots win out and the Dolphins and Jets split, then the Patriots win the AFC East. The Jets will have to hope that they beat Miami to win that tie-breaker and, further, hope that they have a better conference record than the Baltimore Ravens in order to clinch the sixth seed. 4) If the Patriots and Ravens win out and the Dolphins and Jets split their final two games, then ...

Francisco Lindor Remains Red Hot as Mets Top Phillies

 Francisco Lindor remains the hottest player in Queens right now.  The Mets shortstop blasted two more home runs, including a three-run blast in the bottom of the eighth inning, Monday night to help propel the Mets to a 5-4 win over Philadelphia.   Lindor who typically struggles in the month of April is putting together a heck of a month. Monday's two hit effort was the 10th game in the last 11 where Lindor has recorded a hit. In fact in the month of April alone this year, Lindor was hitting at .311 coming into Monday's action.  On the year, Lindor is batting .284 with five homers and 13 RBI.  Lindor's efforts proved to be prophetic, as the Phillies Alec Bohm crushed a three-run bomb off Edwin Diaz in the top of the ninth to cut the Mets lead to a single run. Fortunately for New York, Diaz was able to shut the door with strikeouts of Trea Turner and Bryce Harper.  New York (16-7) has now won five in a row.  

Mets Keep Rolling into Phillies Series

 The New York Mets are feeling pretty good about things right now!  The Amazin's swept a four game series from the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday, winning 7-4 Sunday afternoon. It was the first time since 1986 that the Amazin's had swept such a series from St. Louis. We all know what happened later that season.    Well, not to get too far ahead of ourselves, because the 2025 version now faces a very stiff challenge. The Mets will face their arch rivals the Philadelphia Phillies on Monday with only two games separating the two teams in the NL East.  The Mets took out Philly in the NLDS last October, so this figures to be a heck of showdown. The Mets begin a month long stretch against teams that are likely postseason contenders like the Phillies, D-Backs, Cubs, Yankees, Red Sox, and Dodgers.  If the Mets (15-7) are this good, we will know for sure in a month.
