Congrats to Georgia Bulldogs for winning their first National Championship since 1980. Most dominant team in college football this season by far.
I'll watch the game today but should've been a tie to leave Pittsburgh out of playoffs.
Miami firing Brian Flores is honestly shocking to me.
Agreed. After a turnaround they've had in second half of the season (finishing 9-8 after a 1-7 start) I've expected him to stay. There are some rumblings Miami wants to bring Jim Harbaugh eventhough their owner has shot those rumours down. Not sure what to think about this if true. Harbaugh is clearly a great coach but not someone to build around longterm imo. At least not in the NFL.
Flores shouldn't have problems to find a new job soon. I'm sure he'll get a few HC interviews in coming days/weeks.
Chicago and Minnesota have also fired their HCs and GMs. And Vic Fangio is out in Denver too.
So if my count is correct we currently have 6 HC openings - Miami, Jacksonville, Denver, Chicago, Minnesota and Las Vegas - they probably won't keep current interim HC Bisaccia unless he'll go on a deep playoff run.
Could potentially also see Houston replacing Culley with a younger coach but they are the least desirable destination amongst HC candidates right now. Watson wants to leave (and is in all sort of legal troubles anyway) and their roster clearly lacks talent.
