NFL Discussion - 2008-09 Playoffs

[chrisspringob]

All in one season:

Holmgren - retiring
Dungy - retiring
Shanahan - fired
Gruden - fired

Are Belichick and Coughlin the only active head coaches left in the league who have Super Bowl victories (as head coach) to their names? (Of course, one more name will be added to the list in two weeks.)

 

[JM1776]

The name you're looking for is Whisenhunt.

It seems that the Titans example through good and bad because you know it'll get good again doesn't seem to be noticed by any of the other teams. It's like they're on an Al Davis firing spree because they expect instant success (and because of the success of the Falcons and Ravens with first-year coaches and rookie QBs, that trend will probably increase).

Exactly. We weathered our seasons of mediocrity and are again competitive. We should be competitive and playoff contenders for another couple of years. Granted all Titan fans are upset about one & done but its not Fishers fault that the players didn't wrap two hands on the ball thus allowing the Ravesn "d" a better than average chance of causing fumbles.
Fisher does a good job, a better than average job and I'm glad to see that the owner/front office aren't keen to knee jerk reactions.

Phantastic game by the Cardinals so far. Looks like the second half could become sort of boring (fine with me).

 

[Quantum]

What kinda BS was that on the obvious kick off in bounds....

Never in a million years did I think the Cardinals would be destroying the Eagles this way. I was expecting a much closer game.

Warner's having a helluva game.

So far absolutely, Fitzgerald with 3 TDs dominating too of course. But the fat lady isn't singing yet.

 

[Aragorn]

So Warner or Fitzgerald on the cover of Madden 2010?

Damn, I must have jinxed the Cards. 24-19 now.

I did before you.

 

[Romulan_spy]

What a pass by McNabb!! Go Eagles!

 

[Roger Wilco]

What a sensational conference final so far, great job by both teams.
No way that the AFC final can be as entertaining. *jinx*

 

[Roger Wilco]

I'll phrase it carefully not to jinx it: Cardinals close to getting into the Super Bowl for the first time in 111 years?

 

[chrisspringob]

Is Warner the first QB to start for two different teams in the Super Bowl?

 

[Thurisaz]

HOLY SHIT!! Cards going to the big one.

 

[Sheep]

Congrats to the Cards.

I humbly eat my crow for under-estimating them all season long. (No joke about all the "bird" teams in the playoffs implied!)

 

[Thurisaz]

Cards got lucky they didn't get called for the PI on Curtis.

 

[Roger Wilco]

Is Warner the first QB to start for two different teams in the Super Bowl?

No QB has ever won a Super Bowl with two different teams, but it's not unprecedented for a QB to be starter in two Super Bowls for different teams as far as I know.

Well, who else has done it besides Warner?
