Yes.

I know others have had devastating injuries, but Raheem has 9 wins with an offensive line filled with free agents and players stolen from other team's practice squads. The starting line-up they are putting on the field on both sides of the ball is laughable, but he is getting the job done.

I give him an A+. I give their GM an A- (LeGarrette Blount...woot). I give the Owners an F.

Blount is going to be high on the fantasy RB list next year I predict.

They were 9-7 in 2008, 3-13 in 2009 and likely 9-7 in 2010. Kc won 10 games TOTAL 2007-09 and will likely win 10 games this year.

Not saying that Tampa isn't due some praise but I think it is a bit of hyperbole to say it's far and away the biggest turnaround when kc is at least as impressive.

I believe that Coughlin sealed his fate today. Between last weeks disaster and this weeks embarassment, the only thing that could save him would be sneaking into the playoffs and going deep in them. By no means is it all Coughlin's fault, at some point the players should take some responsiblity, for the turnovers, dropped balls and basically the defense not showing up today, but we all know that it's the head coach that takes the fall. They clawed back from a 14 point hole today only to go into the tank in the second half. He has always seemed like a coach/his coaching staff that has had trouble making adjustments at halftime. Today was another day, where they could do nothing offensively or defensively in the second half.

It just feels like a team that needs a change at this point. This is 2 years in a row that his teams have peaked in the first half of the season. They have had some injuries, but nothing like teams like the Packers have had to deal with. Also not helping Coughlins case is that Cower has been standing in the shadows for a couple of years now and has been rumored to be interested in the job. If not Cower, I wouldn't be suprised to see John Fox (if he is let go, as he was the Giants Def. Coordinator when they went to the SB in 2000) end up with the position.

It's definitely not all Coughlin's fault, but this team is too good to be constantly spitting the bit in December. I think he used his 2007 Super Bowl get out of jail free card last year and by the look and feel of it today the clock is ticking on the old ball coach.

As for the rest of the list.

Jason Garrett- I think he stays, Jerry and the team seems to like and play for him.

Leslie Frazier- I just don't see it, but until they get a QB it really doesn't matter who's coaching.

John Fox- I like him, but he's another who has been on thin ice for a long time and I can't see him surviving a 2 win campaign.

Mike Singletary- Seems in over his head, some guys are just better being a cooridnator.

Tony Sparano- I give him a pass for another season.

Chan Gailey- It's Buffalo, who really cares? Besides he has them playing hard up there, today they were just outclassed.

Eric Mangini- I think he's out just cause Holmgren will want to pick his own guy there.

Marvin Lewis- Don't know how he's lasted this long, just mindboggling.

Jack Del Rio- Needed to win the divison to probably save his job, so long.

Gary Kubiak-Like Singletary, probably better off as a cooridnator.

Norv Turner- Today was most likely the staw that broke the camels back, but just like herpes Norv will eventually rear his ugly head some place in the near future.

Coughlin and Eli were made for each other. They both suck when it's crunch time.

They were both pretty good in 2007.
Eli was excellent especially in the game in GB.

Other than 2007 he has been a mediocrity. He makes way to many dumb mistakes, and when things start going bad he panics and creates blow out losses. He gets rattled easily, and is a slightly above average NFL QB.

On the coaches:
Tom Coughlin- I think he gets fired and this is where Cowher ends up.

jason Garrett- I hope he stays so the Cowboys will suck for a while longer

Leslie Frazier- I think he stays.

John Fox-good coach will be head coach next year but probably not in Carolina
Mike Singletary- too late

Tony Sparano- Runs a boring offense which doesn't go well with flashy owners and South Beach. I think he gets fired.

Chan Gailey- I would give him another shot. Team played hard, and who else wants to coach for that cheap owner.

Eric Mangini- I would keep him. They played hard this year and had some nice wins. Look to be turning the corner in a very tough division.

Marvin Lewis- See Buffalo about the owner

Jack Del Rio- Good coach who could probably use a change of scenery, owner to cheap to fire him.
Gary Kubiak- Fired. Makes his team the picture of mediocrity, that team needs a disciplinarian to wake things u

Norv Turner- Has to much talent there to always under achieve. Doesn't help him that his GM is an ass clown who alienates every decent player they have. Fire him

And the coach of the year?

Raheem Morris-Has developed many young players and get them to play hard all the time. I don't care how easy there schedule is, they have over achieved.

Tampa did feast on an incredibly easy schedule. They went 4-0 vs the NFC West or there would be no 9 wins this year.

That said, Raheem has done an incredible job. The Bucs are the first team since the 1970 merger to start at least 10 different rookies in a season and have a winning record.

No way he wins any awards, but the Bucs are in good shape moving forward with him in charge.
