We are less than a week from Black Monday, when many NFL teams will announce their head coach has been relieved of his duties, dismissed, stepped down, had ties severed or mutually agreed to part ways. In other words, they fired the bum.
Already, there are head coaching job openings in Carolina and Washington. By the end of business Monday, resumes may be requested by the Falcons, Chargers, Browns, Jaguars, Cowboys, Giants and Lions.
What is one man’s misfortune is just opportunity knocking for someone else. Somebody will have to open the door at the Bucs training facility.
The Bucs may finish 7-9 or 8-8 in the first season under Bruce Arians, but he knows he will have a tough time hanging on to Byron Leftwich and Todd Bowles. Both Bucs coordinators should at least land interviews for NFL head coaching jobs as early as next week.
“I would hope so,” Arians said Monday.
What does that mean for the Bucs?
