Whipped Cream Difficulties

The NFL regular season ended yesterday. You know what that means.

Yes, the firings will continue until morale improves. This is your Bloody Monday NFL firings thread, which I will try to keep updated today.

Starting with yesterday’s “Damn, you didn’t even wait to get him in the house” firing: Lovie Smith out as head coach of the Texans after one season. 3-13-1 as Texans coach. From the NYPost:

Smith had a successful nine-year run in Chicago, going 81-63 and taking the team to the Super Bowl in 2006 after a 13-3 season. Since, though, he has gone 11-35-1 in stints with the Buccaneers and now the Texans.

Smith replaced David Culley, who was also fired after one year in Houston, as head coach in February 2022.

This team was so inept, they couldn’t even get the first draft choice. What the heck happened? The Texans used to be at least competitive.

Joe Woods out as defensive coordinator in Cleveland. At least the Browns were competitive (7-10 this season).

More later, if there are any more firings today.

Edited to add: Kliff Kingsbury out as head coach of the Cardinals, and Steve Keim stepping down as GM. Keim’s resignation is apparently for health reasons.

Kingsbury was 28-37-1 overall, and the team was 4-13 this season. Interestingly, both Kingsbury and Keim had their contracts extended last March.
