Black Monday Hits Colts' Bill Polian, Rams' Steve Spagnuolo And Bucs' Raheem Morris
by Joel Thorman on Jan 2, 2012 2:21 PM CST

PrintBlack Monday is upon us. The day after the regular season finale has been dubbed "Black Monday" because that's when some coaches are fired and that's the case this year. We've already seen three major moves within front offices across the league.
Steve Spagnuolo was fired by the St. Louis Rams, which was expected. He had 10 wins in three years as the Rams head coach and they just finished up a 2-14 season. The Rams had no choice but to fire him. They've been connected to, among other coaches, Jeff Fisher (like every other team has this year).
Raheem Morris was fired as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach. There was an argument to keep him on board but the Bucs lost their last 10 games to finish 4-12 on the season. You can't do that in your third year after winning 10 games the year before.
Morris and Spags are both part of the '09 coaching class that looks pretty bad right now.
And the big news of the day to this point is that the Indianapolis Colts have fired both Bill and Chris Polian. Bill was the team's GM from 1998-2010 before taking the role of Vice Chairman last season. Chris Polian was the GM. There's no word on the fate of head coach Jim Caldwell.
That's it -- for now. I imagine we'll be hearing more, possibly from a team in the AFC West, in the coming days.

Is claiming the stage is set for a Romeo/McDaniels/Cassel run team next year. He says his has been the plan since they fired Haley.

Hiring him as Offensive Coordinator...
…and adding the “Assistant Head Coach” tag to it is the standard way of getting around that rule.
No it's not.
They changed that rule years ago. When it comes to the lateral move rule, there are only two types of coaches: Head Coach and Assistant Coach. A TE coach is considered the same as a Coordinator/Assistant Head Coach, when it comes to the lateral move rules.

Fair enough.
Didn’t remember the rule change. My bad.
The reason they changed it
was for exactly the thing you posted above. People were giving coaches bogus titles, just to get around the rule.

Has Romeo done enough to keep the job though?
This team looked pretty much the same and despite a win in Denver it was a lackluster game plan.
I wouldn’t be totally opposed to keeping Romeo, I am just unsure that it is the right move going forward.

Did you miss all the blowouts earlier?
Kansas City Chiefs: Undefeated in 2012, baby!
Sure I did, but I also watched the Raiders game.
Decision making is still a problem with this team and that falls to the Head Coach…
The thing that I am trying to determine is whether the Chiefs can win long term with the style of football they are trying to play. Low scoring defensive efforts… that is a risky proposition in today’s NFL.

At least they were ready to play each week.
He couldn’t do a whole lot about the offensive side in three weeks. Presumably, there will be big changes on that side of the ball, at least as far as coaching is concerned.
Kansas City Chiefs: Undefeated in 2012, baby!
They didn't seem too prepared yesterday.
The Packers win was impressive, but the last two weeks were meh…
I know there are going to be changes, I just want the team to make the right moves. Is bringing in Josh McDaniels and keeping Romeo as the head coach the right move?
Would the Chiefs also be trading a franchised Dwayne Bowe and signing Brandon Lloyd who insinuated he would follow Josh? Is that the right moves? Who knows?
It is now time to break all of that down.

In fact, Romeo’s defense held four teams to their lowest point output of their season, two of them since he became the interim head coach.

Wait until the Steelers roll into town. The Broncos may be required to take points off the board and actually go negative score.

The defense has played great
Who is your coordinator next season to keep that defense going for Romeo?
The Chiefs are in a sticky situation… either promote a guy over his skill level or start with a new guy. The offensive decisions were hectic the past three games, continuity on that side could spell mediocrity next season.
Will one coordinator fix that?
I know Jamaal Charles will help. This team has some work to do.

I don't care about continuity on the offensive side.
They really have nowhere to go but up, so I’m fine with a lack of continuity.
Kansas City Chiefs: Undefeated in 2012, baby!
You've been watching them all year playing with no continuity on the offensive side.
You’re okay with that?
Personally I’m not. We need a good OC that is consistent and can force our offense to have continuity in play. Having it on BOTH sides of the ball will only make this team better.
Continuity ≠ Consistency
We’re talking about two different things.
Kansas City Chiefs: Undefeated in 2012, baby!
I understand the difference and the definitions Tarkus. : )
They have to have continuity to be consistent.
Continuity during the season, yes.
I’m talking about from the current offense. I don’t care about continuity from the 2011 offense to the 2012 offense.
Kansas City Chiefs: Undefeated in 2012, baby!
I don't like the Chiefs approach on offense and I'm not sure
the hoodie is enough change to make a difference.
Perhaps they need a new offensive philosophy entirely. They need a philosophy that can score points.

There are positives and negatives to bringing in Fisher...
but I think he will be successful in his next stop and I like that he would be hungry for a Super Bowl. The ultimate goal.

Im not a huge Jeff Fisher fan... The Manning picture was tongue in cheek.
but I do want to look at all the options. Overall Fisher was a good coach that needed a change of scenery IMO.
I just want the Chiefs to get the right guy… Romeo Crennel was not good in Cleveland as a Head Coach, yet you seem to want him. What is the difference? The continuity, if they continue to be mediocre, will that benefit the Chiefs?

Bill Belichick was not a good coach in Cleveland.
Often, successful head coaches don’t do well their first go around.
The Chiefs are building something special on the defensive side of the ball. I’d like to see that continue, while bringing in a good offensive mind to take care of that side of the ball.
Kansas City Chiefs: Undefeated in 2012, baby!
Who is your pick on offense to run the plays?
Bill Belichick is one of the greatest coaches of all-time. That is like comparing Stanzi to Brady, it is the exception, not the rule.
What has Romeo Crennel done to show you that this team will continue to improve?

Belichick is very, very good. Even great.
But of all time? In a league continually changing to help the offense and limit the defense’ ability to stop offensive production? With Brady at the helm?
Take away Brady and Belichick is a shadow of his success. He’s Dick Vermeil, even. Good to great offense and poorer and poorer defenses, as the money goes to the Brady side of the ball.
It is time to anoint the Stanzi. He is The One.
that is why I said "one of"

The defense has continued to get better under him.
The team as a whole has shown they love playing for him and will play hard for him. The only question is what to do on the offensive side. I wouldn’t mind seeing McHoodie take over on the offensive side. But I think there is enough talent there, quite a few coaches could be reasonably successful.

My biggest concern is that the Chiefs will fumble this opportunity away...

I second that.
I’m probably in the minority, but I’m actually in favor of Josh McDaniels as Offensive Coordinator (provided he becomes available).
I know a lot of people only see his bad experience in Denver and the struggles of the Rams’ offense this year, but I’m more apt to accept the opinions of people like Scott Pioli and Bill Belichick. Belichick had McDaniels pegged as a stud coach in the making. Bill Belichick knows some stuff about football.
McDaniels has much less opportunity to make a jackass out of himself if he’s not “the guy” in charge and doesn’t have personnel control.
This may all be true.
FWIW Sam Bradford wants him to stay and says it takes three years under McHoodie to “get it.”
It is time to anoint the Stanzi. He is The One.
I'm good with McHoodie too.
Then again, I never got all emotional about him like some fans. Both Cassel and Orton flourished under him.
Kansas City Chiefs: Undefeated in 2012, baby!
We agree on multiple things, I see.
I’m not a Cassel hater, and would actually look forward to seeing what McDaniels and Cassel could do together next season.
Could it be a massive disaster? There’s always that possibility in the NFL. But they have had success in the past.
There are no sure things.
Especially for anyone who is available. There are certain risks with anyone they bring in.
Kansas City Chiefs: Undefeated in 2012, baby!
Whoever gets Fisher
will get a good coach who’s had time to evaluate a plan, and take them on a good run. count on it.
Never argue with an Idiot...... they'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

I'm surprised Norv Turner hasn't been given the axe yet...
It is time for San Diego to move on in my opinion. They should have been winning Super Bowls with those teams the last decade.
Yet, if they want to keep falling short, it is fine with me if they keep him.

With Polian gone
I think that increases the chances of Manning hitting FA. I’m definitely for bringing Manning in for a couple of years. We have the receivers for him to thrown the ball to, an excellent running back in JC and a defense that is on the verge of becoming elite. Our team has the opportunity of really kicking some asses with an elite QB like Manning in the backfield.
Check out my blog on software development:
http://www.turnleafdesign.com/
How does the firing of Polian
make Manning a FA? He’s still under contract, and due some $28 million.
It is time to anoint the Stanzi. He is The One.
In fact, he just signed a five year deal
worth $90 million. The Colts must decide if he’s healthy enough to earn the $28 million roster bonus by March, I think, or choose to waive him. Then, the teams in front of KC must decide if they wanna pick up that contract. Free agency is not in Manning’s future anytime soon.
It is time to anoint the Stanzi. He is The One.
Manning cannot be put on waivers
He’s a veteran. He would become a free agent if cut.
The Colts would still owe him his guaranteed money
But most of his contract would be null and void.
That certainly makes acquiring him
a bit more attractive. The injury is still a big question mark, imo.
It is time to anoint the Stanzi. He is The One.
Less loyalty to Manning
Unwilling to pay that big bonus promised by the previous regime promised. No guarantee obviously, just more likely.

Not really...
it’s not Turner’s fault the GM is letting talent go and asking Rivers to do more and more with less and less. The thought process must be along the lines of “if not Norv, then who?” The big names all want personnel control, and the GM wants none of it even though he’s dumping guys like Sproles and Turner.
It is time to anoint the Stanzi. He is The One.
What about all those years they weren;t old and didn't have less and less?
"Give them nothing! But take from them everything!"
He didn't get fired those years, either.
I’m not saying he won’t get fired, I just hope he stays so the Chargers continue to be a non-factor and the GM keeps making crappy personnel moves.

please just stop right there. seriously
he took over a 14-2 team, that wasnt at the end of their window of opportunity, but rather the beginning of it. the most talented roster thanks to the manning draft day trade etc. norv typically has slow starts…that is pretty much a sign of bad coaching, hes been incredibly inconsistent, another sign of poor coaching much like it was for haley.

Long term, Crennel is not an option for HC.
He’ll be the guy next year, but I think we’re gonna get McDaniels as our OC and coach-in-waiting. McDaniels will be our future, sadly.
Jeff Fisher will interview with the Rams later this week. I expect the Rams to go after Fisher, then look for a GM.

Kind of limits your GM search that's for sure.
I guess it all depends if you value GM or HC more.

I've seen it happen before.
But can’t remember where. Broncos? It not just limits your GM search, but it kind of screws with the chain of command, once you hire him. How comfortable can he be telling the head coach what to do, when the head coach is apparently further up on the totem pole?
Kansas City Chiefs: Undefeated in 2012, baby!
