The NFL betting campaign is heading into its final week of the year, meaning that Black Monday is nearly upon us for coaches. Take a look at the coaches that have already been canned, and the ones that could be on their way out the door when this season is finally said and done with.

Jack Del Rio, Jacksonville Jaguars – Del Rio was canned a month ago, and it was merciful the way that it happened. The Jags haven’t really made all that much of a move in the right direction over the last few years, and the failure of raising QB Blaine Gabbert as a rookie really didn’t help his case any in a year in which owner Wayne Weaver said that it was playoffs or bust for Del Rio. Now, Weaver has sold the team, and Del Rio has been canned. The only question is whether interim coach Mel Tucker is going to be around to see how next season pans out. We tend to doubt it.

Norv Turner, San Diego Chargers – Turner was announced as a goner at the end of the year just days after Del Rio was fired. Turner was allowed to stay on until the end of the season to see if he can get this team into the playoffs. The postseason hopes came to an end with a loss at the Detroit Lions last week, and now, Norv and his staff are coaching their final game this week at the Oakland Raiders, and they have merely been reduced to potential spoilers in yet another very average season.

Tony Sparano, Miami Dolphins – Sparano was let go a few weeks ago in a move that came as absolutely no surprise to anyone. The Fins flirted with the idea of bringing in Jim Harbaugh before ever firing Sparano, and though Harbaugh didn’t come to South Beach, Sparano was still basically stuck with the job. He did a decent job this year and is deserving of a coaching gig immediately as far as we are concerned, but with the Dolphins moving into a new stadium next season, they needed a new direction to go in.

Todd Haley, Kansas City Chiefs – Thanks to some spats with ownership, players, and fellow coaches, Haley was relieved of his duties when it was assumed that the Chiefs’ playoff hopes were said and done with. Interim coach Romeo Crennel is expected to be a candidate for both this job and other jobs this year, and he really bolstered his case by beating the Green Bay Packers at home in his first game in charge of the team. Haley got a bit of a raw deal getting fired a year after taking the team to the AFC West title, especially knowing that this season became impossible without QB Matt Cassel, S Eric Berry, and RB Jamaal Charles for the majority of (or entirety of) the season, but it was clear that GM Scott Pioli wanted to go another direction with his team.

Jim Caldwell, Indianapolis Colts – Caldwell has probably saved his job over the course of the last couple of weeks, as the Colts have beaten the Titans and Texans at home in back to back encounters. However, if the team decides that it is going to use the No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft on QB Andrew Luck, owner Jim Irsay may want to bring in a new coach to lead the ship in Indianapolis as well, since it is clear that the team is in need of a major overhaul.

Andy Reid, Philadelphia Eagles – The season came to a crashing halt last week for the Eagles before they ever took the field, as they were knocked out of the playoffs thanks to a win by the New York Giants. Now, it’s true that Reid’s Eagles have played a lot better of late, winning three straight games and threatening to finish .500 in a season in which very little went right, but we don’t know whether the media pressure in the City of Brotherly Love is going to allow the most tenured coach in the league to keep his post for another season. We tend to doubt it, and we think that Reid, either peacefully via a resignation or forcefully via a firing will be removed on January 2nd.

Tom Coughlin, New York Giants OR Jason Garrett, Dallas Cowboys – Owner/GM/Czar Jerry Jones has said that Garrett is the man that he is going to trust as his head coach for the future, but we aren’t so sure that an 8-8 season and missing out on the playoffs are going to keep him safe. Remember that the Cowboys, in spite of all of their injuries, have lost three out of four games, including dropping to the Arizona Cardinals and these Giants down the stretch. There have been plenty of questionable coaching moves this year in losses, and if the Cowboys lose on Sunday, Garrett might take the fall. Coughlin always seemingly has his back against the wall in the Big Apple, and it seems as though a loss at home will finally be the straw that breaks the camel’s back. Then again, the last time Coughlin was in this spot, the Giants won the games that they had to win and ended up winning the Super Bowl, so we know not to count Big Blue out until they are really, truly out.

Mike Shanahan, Washington Redskins – The Redskins’ loss at home on Sunday to the lowly Vikings might be more than owner Daniel Snyder can really take. Shanahan just hasn’t had any success here with the ‘Skins, and his lack of ability to settle on a quarterback and an offensive scheme has really hurt him. Washington is so mediocre and not so bad that it might not be able to settle on a quarterback for the future this year either, and Snyder is probably going to at least force Shanahan’s hand to make up his mind. Knowing Shanny, he may just decide that he has had enough and walk away from the job if Snyder doesn’t fire him next week.

Steve Spagnuolo, St. Louis Rams – The Rams were really, really bad this season, and that wasn’t what the franchise really wanted to see a year after just missing out on the postseason. There were some promising games, notably the home win over the Saints, but St. Louis was just never really able to build upon it. The question is there whether or not QB Sam Bradford is really the man that can lead this team, and if QB Andrew Luck ends up sitting on the board for the Rams, they might have to take him. If they do that, will Spagnuolo get a chance to rebuild this team a second time? We really don’t think so.

Raheem Morris, Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Morris wasn’t really on the hot seat for the majority of the season, but a few weeks ago, that steam picked up, and now, he is probably all but gone. It’s not that the Bucs have been losing games, it’s how they have been losing them. All that the team needed to see this year was a bit of progression on the field. Making the playoffs would have been the next step, but not a requirement. Now, the team is one of the worst in football, it has a 10-game losing streak going, and it is probably going to end up removing Morris as a result, especially after a lot of the four TD+ losses that this squad has had to endure down the stretch.

Lovie Smith, Chicago Bears – Someone is going to take the fall for the fall from grace that the Bears have had, and though we think that it is going to start with GM Jerry Angelo, a new GM might want Smith and has staff out. It’s really not Smith’s fault that he really didn’t have a quarterback or a running back to work with down the stretch, but the bottom line is that this team had a two game lead on a Wild Card bid a month ago, and it was eliminated from the postseason on Christmas night. To say that that isn’t all that good is a bit of an understatement, and Smith could get the blame.

Marvin Lewis, Cincinnati Bengals – We keep Lewis on the hot seat for now, because failing to make the playoffs might be enough to cause owner Paul Brown, who notoriously does things that go against the grain, to give him the boot. The Bengals are going a new direction, and Lewis started the team that way with QB Andy Dalton calling the shots, but that doesn’t mean that Brown is going to want to keep Lewis even if the team finishes 9-7 and out of the postseason. It would be a questionable firing at best, but in order to stay safe for absolutely certain, we recommend to Lewis to beat the Baltimore Ravens this week and lock up a playoff spot.

Ken Whisenhunt, Arizona Cardinals – We tend to think that the solid play down the stretch has been enough to give Whisenhunt one more go around with the Cardinals, but we’re not sure that ownership is going to go with that either, especially if one of the big time head coaches that have been sitting on the sidelines is showing some interest in the job. Finishing at that psychological barrier of .500 with a win over the Seahawks this week will probably be enough to take the heat off of Whisenhunt, at least for one more season.

Coaches change in the NFL seemingly every single season, and this year is absolutely no exception. Here at Bankroll Sports, we are looking at the teams that have new men in charge and what that is going to do to those teams’ Super Bowl odds in NFL betting action.

Buffalo Bills (100 to 1 to win the Super Bowl at JustBet Sportsbook): The Bills probably knew that they were never going to get to the Promised Land under old HC Dick Jauron, but what makes them hire out Chan Gailey now? Gailey was a miserable head coach for the Dallas Cowboys back in the day, and he really hasn’t turned any football program that he has been with into a success. There’s a reason that Paul Johnson stepped right in at Georgia Tech and did a fantastic job bringing the Yellow Jackets to the BCS, whereas Gailey never stood a chance of winning the ACC. Gailey was miserable as a coordinator as well. Now, he has to sort through a quarterbacking mess that includes Ryan Fitzpatrick, Trent Edwards, and Brian Brohm… Needless to say, it’s going to be a long, long season for Buffalo. Don’t be shocked if Gailey is ultimately one and done, as the Bills showed last year that they had no problems firing a coach in the middle of the season.

Washington Redskins (40 to 1 to win the Super Bowl at JustBet Sportsbook): Here’s quite the interesting hire. Had the Broncos not collapsed down the stretch two years ago, Mike Shanahan would most likely still be coaching in Denver. However, he was canned after the ’08 season and is now on the sidelines in DC, where owner Daniel Snyder brought him in to try to right the ship that was messed up by Jim Zorn for a number of years. Not only did Snyder find a new coach, but he found a new quarterback as well in the form of QB Donovan McNabb. Things aren’t going so well for Shanny in our nation’s capitol, though. DT Albert Haynesworth, a former defensive leader of the team, has been clashing with Shanahan all preseason long. Truth be told, this is still probably the worst team in the NFC East, but finishing with a respectable record this year and challenging for the playoffs in 2011 isn’t out of the question.

Seattle Seahawks (80 to 1 to win the Super Bowl at JustBet Sportsbook): It only took one year of the Jim Mora Jr. era for the brass in Seattle to realize that they made a huge mistake in hiring him. Almost immediately, the younger Mora was booted out of the ranks of head coaching for the second time in the last four years. Now, a former NFL skipper and one of the legendary college coaches of our time, Pete Carroll is set to take over. Carroll immediately said that he was going to come in and sort out the pass rushing problems for this team. We don’t quite see the personnel there yet to accomplish that. Now, Carroll also has a quarterback problem, as QB Matt Hasselbeck doesn’t seem to have the same tools that he did back in the day when the Seahawks were going to Super Bowls. Is QB Charlie Whitehurst the answer? Carroll had better find out soon, or he might be in more trouble than his former college program, USC.
