Sherman heads list of NFL coaches fired Monday
ESPN.com news services

Green Bay Packers: Just one day after completing the franchise's worst season since 1991, the Green Bay Packers on Monday dismissed head coach Mike Sherman.

The move, which was announced at a morning news conference, came despite the fact the Packers awarded Sherman a two-year contract extension worth about $6.4 million last summer. It also fuels speculation about the future of quarterback Brett Favre, who said several times during the season that he would not return in 2006 if Sherman was not retained by Packers officials. Story

New Orleans Saints: The season of displacement has concluded with New Orleans Saints owner Tom Benson deciding his franchise needed a replacement for head coach Jim Haslett.

After weeks of requesting that he be freed from his contract, a frustrated Haslett finally was dismissed by the Saints on Monday. The two sides essentially reached a mutual agreement that Haslett would not return for 2006, the final year of his contract. Story

Houston Texans: Dom Capers has been fired as coach of the Houston Texans, who had the league's worst record this season, the players were told Monday.

Capers addressed the team at a meeting Monday morning and told players he had been let go. He was accompanied by owner Bob McNair, several players said. Story

St. Louis Rams: Mike Martz was fired as coach of the St. Louis Rams on Monday after a 6-10 season in which he missed the final 11 games because of a heart ailment.

The Rams started the season 2-3 before Martz was sidelined with an infection of the heart lining. Assistant Joe Vitt replaced him for the rest of the season, which ended Sunday with a 20-10 win over Dallas that left the team at 6-10. Story

Minnesota Vikings: Owner Zygi Wilf fired Tice after Sunday's victory over Chicago capped a disappointing 9-7 season in which the Vikings, a trendy preseason pick to go to the Super Bowl, missed the playoffs.

Thank You, Roy!!!

I'd be OK with Jim Haslett too... His offense in NO always sucked because his Franchise QB was never anybetter than Arron Brooks.

I'd prefer Fisher and a few other guys, but we could do a lot worse than Jim Haslett.

Brock · 01-02-2006, 02:20 PM

Those are all pretty bad choices, IMO. They weren't fired because they did a good job.

Other than Joe Horn, what has Haslett had that would allow him to be successful? Aaron Brooks was about as erratic on Offense as Eric Warfield was on our Defense....

Having said that, I wouldn't mind having a guy like Haslett as an Assistant Coach.....

Dom Capers has shown that he can build a defense so having him as a DC wouldn't be all that bad....

Everyone else I wouldn't even want as an Assistant Coach.

He had Jake Delhomme and sent him packing.

Willie Roaf. But then he traded him for a third-round pick.

It was either trade Willie or watch him smash Horn someday after practice...while Horn was a good receiver, I am ecstatic at the fact that we traded him off and got Roaf in return.

Who the **** isn't a bad choice? Last I checked Belichick and Dungy aren't leaving their franchises.

**Baby Lee** · 01-02-2006, 02:23 PM

Sherman, Tice, Martz. bad day to be a Mike.

OldTownChief · 01-02-2006, 02:24 PM

If we end up with Tice I'll kill myself.

jidar · 01-02-2006, 02:26 PM

I don't think Tice is going to be in the NFL.

**Rain Man** · 01-02-2006, 02:28 PM

Why was Haslett trying to leave? It's not like he's got a Parcellsian resume to get another job.

Frosty · 01-02-2006, 02:48 PM

Who in their right mind would accept the head coaching job for the Saints?

Maybe another opportunity for Gunther?
