The NFL is a ruthless business, so it shouldn\u2019t come as a surprise that many coaches operate on a short leash. Here\u2019s a list of coaches, coordinators and general managers who are out of their respective positions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Marcus Brady, Indianapolis Colts &#8211; Offensive Coordinator<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Liam Coen, Los Angeles Rams &#8211; Offensive Coordinator (leaving for University of Kentucky)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Todd Downing, Tennessee Titans &#8211; Offensive Coordinator<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Nathaniel_Hackett\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Nathaniel Hackett<\/strong><\/a>, Denver Broncos &#8211; Head Coach<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Steve Keim, Arizona Cardinals &#8211; General Manager (left due to health issues)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Kliff_Kingsbury\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Kliff Kingsbury<\/strong><\/a>, Arizona Cardinals &#8211; Head Coach<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Frank_Reich\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Frank Reich<\/strong><\/a>, Indianapolis Colts &#8211; Head Coach<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Matt_Rhule\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Matt Rhule<\/strong><\/a>, Carolina Panthers &#8211; Head Coach<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dean Pees, Atlanta Falcons &#8211; Defensive Coordinator (retired)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Jon Robinson, Tennessee Titans &#8211; General Manager<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Lovie_Smith\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Lovie Smith<\/strong><\/a>, Houston Texans &#8211; Head Coach<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Phil Snow, Carolina Panthers &#8211; Defensive Coordinator<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Scott Turner, Washington Commanders &#8211; Offensive Coordinator<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Joe Woods, Cleveland Browns &#8211; Defensive Coordinator<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The NFL Fired Coaches<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Matt Rhule was the first coach to be fired (10\/8\/22), followed by Frank Reich (11\/7\/22) and Nathaniel Hackett (12\/26\/22). They fired Kingsbury and Smith at the conclusion of the regular season. Rhule seemed overwhelmed in Carolina, while Reich\u2019s downfall was due to a succession of horrible QB play. Kingsbury seemed to not have control of his team while simultaneously thinking he was more clever than he actually was.<br><br>However, I feel sorry for Hackett and Smith. They fired both after just one season. While many did not view the Broncos as championship contenders, we expected them to be a playoff team. Especially considering the pricey acquisition of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/W\/WilsRu00.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Russell Wilson<\/strong><\/a>. Also, he was so bad at clock management that Denver needed to hire a coach whose sole purpose was to watch the clock and alert Hackett when to call timeouts. On second thought, Hackett deserved to go.<br><br>Lovie Smith deserved better. He walked into a horrible situation, inheriting all the bad mojo associated with the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/W\/WatsDe00.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Deshaun Watson<\/a><\/strong> situation and a roster lacking much talent. Despite the obstacles, I think Smith was laying the proper foundation for success. I thought he deserved at least another season in Houston.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>SPORTS GRUMBLINGS SPOTLIGHT<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/server.ashoresystems.info\/~sportsgrumblings\/2022\/12\/16\/the-sexiest-woman-alive-in-sports\/\">Who is the sexiest woman alive out of these gorgeous ladies?

While I&#8217;m happy to see a player of Smith&#8217;s caliber get paid, I&#8217;m confused. Experts told us that linebackers, especially off-the-ball linebackers, no longer mattered. EDGE, shutdown corners&#8230; those guys get paid. But three-down linebackers that play sideline to sideline? Gone the way of the dodo bird.<br><br>The Bears listened to those experts and decided that Smith wasn&#8217;t worth a big contract, so they moved him to the Ravens. As a result, the Ravens&#8217; defense improved by leaps and bounds since the arrival of Smith. Note to the &#8220;experts&#8221;: great players never go out of style. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Veteran Receivers on the Move?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Continuing a trend from last season, where we saw several top-tier wide receivers get traded (<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/A\/AdamDa01.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Davante Adams<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/B\/BrowAJ00.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">A.J. Brown<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/B\/BrowMa04.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Hollywood Brown<\/a><\/strong>) the 2023 rumor mill is already grinding.<br><br>On the heels of firing head coach Kliff Kingsbury and general manager Steve Keim, owner <strong>Michael Bidwill<\/strong> has made it known that the team intends to trade WR <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/H\/HopkDe00.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">DeAndre Hopkins<\/a><\/strong>. Bidwill has gone so far as to inform potential new GM candidates that Hopkins is to be traded. Hopkins has two years left on his current contract (for $34.6 million) and a full no-trade clause, making it difficult to move him to another team. Especially if Hopkins asks any potential trade partner for a new contract. However, it appears that Bidwill plans to enter rebuild mode, so the 31 year old Hopkins&#8217; contract doesn&#8217;t fit into those plans. <br><br>Another veteran who might be on the move is the perennially underrated <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/C\/CookBr00.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Brandin Cooks<\/a><\/strong>. In case you haven&#8217;t heard, Cooks wants out of Houston because he has no desire to be part of a rebuild. It&#8217;s not clear if the Texans will try to accommodate Cooks, especially since he still has two years on his contract and would serve as a calming veteran  influence for the franchise QB they&#8217;re likely to draft. Cooks would likely fetch some decent draft capital, and the Texans would be wise to collect picks to speed the rebuild along. <\/p>\n\n\n<p>\n<table id=\"tablepress-1\" class=\"tablepress
