Neither do panthers. In what I expect to be the last sports firing of 2010, John Fox is officially out as head coach of the Carolina Panthers.

Cheetahs never win.
Friday, December 31st, 2010Kubiak watch: December 29, 2010.
Wednesday, December 29th, 2010John McClain takes a break from defeating Hans Gruber and his minions to let us know:
That post is timestamped at 12:10 AM this morning. This is the kind of brilliant analysis that passes for sportswriting at a major daily newspaper.
At 12:31 PM, McClain (having finished with Gruber and his minions) tells us:
Meanwhile, Pro Football Talk is repeating speculation that Kubiak will stay, but the Texans will hire…Wade Phillips?! as a defensive coordinator.
A picture is worth a thousand words, so let me just put one here:
And the owner of FireGaryKubiak.com is taking the site down “due to unrelenting hate mail and threats”. I didn’t think Gary Kubiak had that big a family.
TMQ Watch: December 28, 2010.
Tuesday, December 28th, 2010TMQ has his party bus, WCD has our party van. Let’s get this party started, shall we?
Kubiak watch (and other stupid norts spews).
Tuesday, December 28th, 2010One HouChron writer says “Fire him now; don’t let him coach the final game.”
Another HouChron writer says “Firing him now is pointless.”
Meanwhile, the fans are restless and organizing a “Fire Kubiak” rally for Sunday.
And in today’s bulletin from a failing chain of restaurants desperately crying out for relevance, T.G.I. Friday’s is apparently lobbying to have their particular style of bartending (which has a name that I will not dignify by giving it here) made an Olympic sport.
Singularity watch.
Monday, December 27th, 2010Wait, did I say “singularity”? I meant “Singletary”. As in Mike Singletary, out as 49ers coach.
In other firing related news, Gary Kubiak has lost Richard Justice. Not just “fire him”, but “fire him now, before next week’s game”.
TMQ watch: December 21, 2010.
Tuesday, December 21st, 2010Instead of a clever introduction to this week’s TMQ, I’m going to give you, my loyal readers, a fitting present for the holiday season. After the jump…
TMQ watch: December 14, 2010.
Tuesday, December 14th, 2010Jingle Bells!
Haynesworth smells!
Texans laid an egg!
Bears-mobile lost a wheel
and the Giants got away! Hey!
Let’s open the TMQ Tupperware and see what’s inside.
TMQ watch: December 7, 2010.
Tuesday, December 7th, 2010What’s in store for us in this week’s exciting TMQ column? Let’s take the shiny wrapping paper off and see, shall we? (As a side note, at least TMQ doesn’t have a giant bow on the top. Speaking of which, has Lexus stopped doing the “December to Remember” commercials? I haven’t seen one this year. Kia, yes; Lexus, no. Wonder what that says about the economy. But I digress.)
Gone…gone…he ducked back down the alley…
Tuesday, December 7th, 2010Josh McDaniels. No longer a Bronco, perhaps still a gentleman.
Obit watch.
Monday, December 6th, 2010Don “Dandy Don” Meredith, former Dallas Cowboys quarterback and one of my all time favorite members of the Monday Night Football broadcast team, has passed away.
As Don himself would say, “Turn out the lights, the party’s over…”
TMQ watch: November 30th, 2010.
Tuesday, November 30th, 2010So what has Gregg Easterbrook up in arms this week? Would you believe Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer?
Boom! Boom! Acka lacka lacka boom!
Monday, November 22nd, 2010My reaction? I was somewhat amused that I was listening to Was (Not Was) when I found this out. As I’ve said previously, I think the major problem that Childress had was his failure to walk the dinosaur.
TMQ watch: November 16, 2010.
Tuesday, November 16th, 2010Welcome back, Gregg. We missed you. Well, mostly, we missed the cheerleader pictures.
Your loser update: week 10.
Monday, November 15th, 2010It was a lousy week in the NFL, at least from my perspective.
Dallas won (what the heck? Was dumping Wade really all they needed?), Houston lost (what is this I don’t even), and sadly…
NFL teams that still have a chance to go 0-16:
None.
Count on the Lions to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Bright spot: Minnesota got stomped, so I’m still holding out hope for another coach firing, and possibly even the benching of Brett Favre.
“Initial reaction to Phillips firing: About. Damn. Time.”
Monday, November 8th, 2010That’s an actual headline in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram (or, as we like to call it around here, the Startle Gram).
Other coverage: Dallas Morning News. ESPN. NFL.com.
I’d love to see Tony Dungy take the job, and interviewing him would be Rooney Rule complaint, but I suspect he’s too happy in his current gig.
How about Brad Childress?
And what will Wade do? Well, I suspect there’s an opportunity opening up in Buffalo soon, and hiring a former Cowboys coach isn’t unprecedented…
