Which coaches are on the hot seat and who will be fired first?

[Tenshot13]

Hue's got a pretty loaded team vs Brown's teams in the past, I agree with Stroke, 8-8.

I know a certain coach in these parts where the seat is really hot.  It's playoffs or bust

^They really should have fired him already if you ask me.

After Sunday, that seat has cooled down some.

^No thanks to Jameis...Fitzmagic to the rescue!

I think that if Cleveland gets to 8-8 this year, after going 1-31 the past two years...Hue is safe.

Hue is one win away from having a second consecutive season of improvement.

Matt Patricia's seat is already warm.  Granted he'll get another season, but I don't think he is a very good coach.  The Patsies' defenses really weren't that great under him, and that was with defensive guru BB as HC.

He has coached one game.  Way too early to be warm.

This would be his first season of improvement, as 2017's 0-16 was not an improvement from 2016's 1-15.

I'm not sure he had that much to work with when he got there.  Detroit as a team tends to be patient with their coaches they kept Schwartz and Mohrningweg around forever before the ax finally came down on them.  I;m sure he'll get a couple years to try to build something out of it

Lol ... if he doesn't get better than that then a second season is not guaranteed. No new coaches won this week going 0-7 but his was by far the worst.

Not necessarily. The locker room is already blowing up publicly. Anything could be possible.

Agreed.  It doesn't matter the record or tenure.  If you lose the locker room, you gotta go.  You can't have a player munity.

I think this is probably true.  Once you lose the players, it doesn't matter if you're right.  Unless the owner is going to keep you and overhaul the squad, which you basically never see.

I seem to recall Coughlin having pretty much lost the locker room the season prior to winning the Super Bowl.

The thing about it is they let Caldwell go after back to back 9-7 seasons (the first time they've had 2 consecutive winning seasons since 1994-1995); and other than Stafford they really didn't have any star players that I can think of.  Their attendance last year was the highest in 12 years, maybe longer I didn't go back further.

So...I really don't think they are going to put up with much regression, unless of course their plan is to really stink and get a top draft pick to replace Stafford for cheap money.

Here's the question though... If, after battling Pittsburgh to a tie in week 1, Cleveland goes on the road in week 2 and beats a stout Saints team. Now, they are 1-0-1, after facing two teams that were arguably in most folks' preseason top-5 SB contenders lists. Don't you pretty much have to take Cleveland seriously at that point?
