100%.
You never truly "get fired" from the NFL.
You just move from Kansas City to Detroit. From Miami to Baltimore. From Philly to Seattle.
Look at Herm Edwards.
He wasn't a marquee player. But he scored the Miracle at the Meadowlands.
And became a coach. And he was such a good DB coach for Tony Dungy...that he became head coach of the Jets.
Wait, what?
Dude has never coordinated a defense. At any level.
5 years in NY (with Paul Hackett as OC - remember, no one EVER truly gets fired) and they've had enough of his shtick there, it's obvious he's in over his head. So what do they do?
Trade him to KC. They need a rebuild.
We were an old team that needed a rebuild.
Dude had no real business being an NFL head coach. Same with Romeo. Those guys flamed out at both stops (Cleveland and here for RC, NY and here for Herm) because they got peter principled.
