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 ...

Is Aaron Glenn in Danger of Getting Fired?

 According to Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio there is a "chance"   that Jets head coach Aaron Glenn could be fired at seasons end.  While Florio doesn't site any sources, the rumor has caught fire the last two days. The question is would it make sense? Let's examine this for a second?  Why it Makes Sense:  Glenn has not been great in his first year as Head Coach of this team. The talent has taken a major step backwards, granted two of those talented players were traded away in Sauce Gardner to Indianapolis and Quinnen Williams to Dallas.  The decision he and GM Darren Mougey made to give Justin Fields a two year deal proved to be a horrible mistake, and Glenn stuck with Fields for far too long before pulling the plug following the Jets loss to the Patriots on a Thursday night in mid November.  Glenn gave now former Defensive Coordinator Steve Wilks too much power to run the defense, and the players couldn't stand Wilks. Reports indicated this week af...

Same Ol' Jets! Gang Green Dropped by Ravens

 RAVENS 24 - JETS 9  In short the opener to the 2022 season for the New York Jets was a complete and utter disaster.  A team that came into the season with the promise of better days ahead, a team that had taken on so many kudos in the off-season for what so many in the media had claimed was an impeccable off-season and draft, came out flat as a pancake when it mattered the most.  If this was a debut of what is to come for the Jets in 2022, you better start preparing your 2023 draft boards.  Sunday's 24-9 loss wasn't just a defeat at the hands of a better team, it was a total indictment of the Jets current predicament.  The Jets offensive line, which has been battered and beaten this summer with the losses of Meckhi Becton and Duane Brown looked like a sieve on Sunday. Joe Flacco, who is not exactly fleet of foot, was under siege all afternoon. The fact he came out of Sunday's game having been sacked only three times was a miracle in itself.  George Fa...
