COACHES HOT SEAT NFL

After a long offseason that in many ways has the game of football in America fighting for its very survival off-the-field football has never been bigger on-the-field and as one considers that irony it is time to kick-off the 2013 NFL football season and that means it is time for the inaugural…

2013 Preseason Coaches Hot Seat Rankings

…which finds SEVEN NFL Head Coaches on the Hot Seat as we kick this season off!

As we have done for many years now with the college football Coaches Hot Seat Rankings each week we will use the Great Johnny Cash to give it “straight with the bark on” to the Hot Seat coaches and with that we are off and running!

Give ‘em Hell Johnny!

1.  Jason Garrett, Dallas Cowboys – In the No. 1 Hot Seat as the 2013 NFL football season kicks-off is Dallas Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett and Garrett is on the Hot Seat for good reason because with the money that Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is tossing around these days on players and his football team this fellow….

…could be taking Dallas to the playoffs each season BUT in 2.5 seasons on the job Jason Garrett is 0 – 3 in even getting the Cowboys past regular season play.

Let’s just be honest here…..Jason Garrett’s records at Dallas…

2010:  5 – 3
2011:  8 – 8
2012:  8 – 8

Overall:  21 – 19

Postseason:  0 – 0

…are mediocre at best and downright pitiful at worst and 2013 is THE YEAR that either Jason Garrett will start performing in the head coaching position in Dallas or Garrett will be out of his job and an assistant coach for the rest of his coaching career.

First up for the Cowboys in Week 1 is a MUST WIN Game against the New York Giants on Sunday Night Football at home in Dallas and with the Cowboys listed as a 3.0 favorite by the Vegas Boys this is a game that…

Jason Garrett better Damn not lose

…because IF Garrett loses this opening game at home to the Giants we are going to turn up the heat even more on Jason and put Jerry Jones on the Hot Seat as well because the uncomfortable TRUTH is that the Dallas Cowboys have WON only ONE Freaking postseason playoff game since 1997!

One Freaking Playoff Game since 1997!

Earth to Jerry Jones:  You are more than likely going to need a new head football coach for the Dallas Cowboys soon so how about this time you hire a..

WINNER?

Is that really too much to ask?

2.  Rex Ryan, New York Jets – Oh Boy, this sure has been one Helluva interesting offseason, Fall camp and preseason for Rex Ryan and the Jets and the Mark Sanchez injury after Ryan put Sanchez back into a meaningless exhibition game (Memo to the NFL: YOUR Preseason is Idiotic!) has really put into perspective how close Ryan is to completely losing it in New York and even Rex knows now it is either…

PLAYOFFS or BUST

…for Ryan in 2013 and the Jets opening game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers is beyond CRITICAL and is verging on….

Defcon FIVE

…because if Ryan loses this opening game to the Bucs the New York papers will be on him like stink on the East River and Ryan’s rear-end will be Roaring Hot!

Uhhhhh…Rex…Good Luck with everything….You will NEED IT!

3.  Jim Schwartz, Detroit Lions – Jim Schartz has done a decent job with the Detroit Lions over the past four seasons after taking over a Detroit club that had won 10 games in three seasons under its previous head coach Rob Marinelli BUT a…

4 – 12

…record last season when the Lions should have still been trending up after a…

10 – 6

…record in 2011 has landed Jim Schwartz on the Hot Seat and another sub-.500 record in 2013 will more than likely lead to Schwartz’s firing which might even happen if the Lions don’t make the postseason playoffs.

The Lions open the season at home against long-time NFC Central rival the Minnesota Vikings and as with all head coaches on the Hot Seat what are particularly damaging to their coaching careers is losing HOME GAMES and that means a WIN is a MUST for Jim Schwartz and the Lions on Sunday.

4.  Ron Rivera, Carolina Panthers – Ron Rivera has done an OK job with the Carolina Panthers putting up records of…

2011:  6 – 10
2013:  7 – 9

Overall:  13 – 19

…in two seasons on the job but the ownership and the management of the Carolina Panthers expects Rivera to take their club to the postseason playoffs on an annual basis and that means like Rex Ryan the 2013 season is more than likely….

PLAYOFFS of BUST

…for Ron Rivera and his football team.

Carolina opens the season at home against one of the hottest teams in the NFL as the 2012 – 2013 season came to a close, Pete Carroll’s Seattle Seahawks, and if Carolina is planning on competing at the highest levels of the NFL this season this is a game that Rivera and the Panthers…

MUST WIN!

IF Seattle goes into Charlotte and beats the Panthers…

Ron Rivera’s rear-end gets HOTTER!…..Temperature-Wise of course!

5.  Dennis Allen, Oakland Raiders – We don’t know anyone that has a CLUE what exactly is going on with the Oakland Raiders this preseason and with Terrelle Pryor now slated to be the starting QB for the Raiders against the Colts on Sunday everyone is about to find out IF the Raiders are still little more than a…

Clown Show

…or if the Raiders can actually give the Colts a game on Sunday and Raiders is actually a…

Football Team

Our guess:  Oakland Raiders = Clown Show!

We cannot see the Oakland Raiders beating the Colts in Indianapolis on Sunday so the seat will just get HOTTER for Dennis Allen in Oakland!

6.  Mike Munchak, Tennessee Titans – Mike Munchak has done an AVERAGE job of coaching the Tennessee Titans in his first two seasons on the job…

2011:  9 – 7
2012:  6 – 10

Overall:  15 – 17

…but AVERAGE is just not good enough for the folks in Nashville and that means at minimum Munchak needs a .500-plus record in 2013 and more than likely he needs to put the Titans into the postseason.

Tennessee opens the season at the Pittsburgh Steelers which is a tough place to get the first win of the season which more than likely mean that…

Mike Munchak = Hotter HOT SEAT after Week 1!

7.  Joe Philbin, Miami Dolphins – Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross just gave $200 Million Dollars to his alma mater the University of Michigan…

Michigan receives record-setting $200-milloin donation from Stephen Ross, Detroit Free-Press

…and if Miami Dolphins head coach Joe Philbin repeats the kind of record his Dolphins put up in 2012…

7 – 9

…he should know that will just not be good enough for Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross and that means we have some news for Joe Philbin:

Make the PLAYOFF in 2013….OR…you can…

“Turn Out the Lights….the Party’s Over!”

LET’S HAVE A GREAT 2013 – 2014 NFL SEASON!

Coaches Hot Seat NFL Quotes of the Day – Saturday, February 16, 2013 – Ben Hogan

“As you walk down the fairway of life you must smell the roses, for you only get to play one round.”

And

“Golf is not a game of good shots. It’s a game of bad shots.”

And

“I couldn’t wait for the sun to come up the next morning so that I could get out on the course again.”

And

“I learn something new about the game almost every time I step on the course.”

And

“I’m glad I brought this course, this monster, to its knees. “

And

“Placing the ball in the right position for the next shot is eighty percent of winning golf. “

And

“Relax? How can anybody relax and play golf? You have to grip the club, don’t you?”

And

“Shoot a lower score than everybody else.”

And

“The only thing a golfer needs is more daylight. “

And

“The ultimate judge of your swing is the flight of the ball.”

And

“I always outworked everybody. Work never bothered me like it bothers some people.”

And

“People have always been telling me what I can’t do. I guess I have wanted to show them. That’s been one of my driving forces all my life.”

And

“The secret is in the dirt” -Common answer Hogan gave when asked how he played so well.

Ans

“All I know is, I’ve seen Nicklaus watch Hogan practice. I’ve never seen Hogan watch Nicklaus practice.” -Tommy Bolt

And

“If you can’t outplay them, outwork them.”

And

“There’s no reason a man can’t birdie every hole.”

And

“There’s no such thing as a natural golf swing.”

And

“The more I practice, the luckier I get.”

And

“Ben Hogan is the most merciless of all the modern golfers.” -Gene Sarazen

And

While waiting on the 1st tee, Hogan walked up to the player he’d been paired with the day before. “I’m sorry I didn’t speak to you yesterday”, he said. “But just so you’re not surprised, I won’t be saying anything today either.”

And

“About all Ben ever said in a tournament was “Good luck” on the 1st tee, and “You’re away” after that.” -Sam Snead

And

“I always had an idea that some people didn’t like me…that the majority of the people didn’t like me. Then, after the accident, when I received all those wonderful telegrams, letters, and flowers from people, I realized I was wrong about the people. That’s when I changed. My frame of mind became different.”

And

And finally, one of the top Hogan quotes, although I can only offer it anecdotally. When Peter Jacobsen won Colonial he received the customary, rather loud, plaid winner’s jacket. As was the tradition he was wearing it at the champion’s dinner. In a loud voice he said to the group he was mingling with, “How long do I have to wear this &%^#$*@ jacket?” From close behind him, but out of direct sight, Mr. Hogan replied, “Until I say you can take it off son.”

And

“I have really enjoyed every minute I have spent in golf- above all, the many wonderful friends I have made. I have loved playing the game and practicing it. Whether my schedule for the following day called for a tournament round or merely a trip to the practice tee, the prospect that there was going to be golf in it made me feel privileged and extremely happy, and I couldn’t wait for the sun to come up the next morning so that I could get out on the course again”

And then you’ll have to eat your lunch all by yourself

‘Cause I’m already gone
And I’m feelin’ strong
I will sing this victory song
Woo hoo hoo, my my, woo hoo hoo” Already Gone, The Eagles

And

“Desperado, why don’t you come to your senses?
You been out ridin’ fences for so long now
Oh, you’re a hard one but I know that you got your reasons
These things that are pleasin’ you can hurt you somehow

Don’t you draw the queen of diamonds boy
She’ll beat you if she’s able
You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet

Have been laid upon your table
But you only want the ones that you can’t get” Desperado, The Eagles

And

Somebody’s gonna come undone

Make it come out right

There’s gonna be a heartache tonight
A heartache tonight, I know
There’s gonna be a heartache tonight
A heartache tonight, I know, Lord, I know” Heartache Tonight

And

Some dance to remember, some dance to forget
So I called up the captain, “Please bring me my wine”
He said, “We haven’t had that spirit here since 1969”
And still those voices are calling from far away
Wake you up in the middle of the night just to hear them say
“Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place
(Such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face
They’re living it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise
(What a nice surprise)
Bring your alibis”
Mirrors on the ceiling, the pink champagne on ice
And she said, “We are all just prisoners here of our own device”
And in the master’s chambers they gathered for the feast
They stab it with their steely knives but they just can’t kill the beast
Last thing I remember I was running for the door
I had to find the passage back to the place I was before
“Relax,” said the night man, “We are programmed to receive
You can check out any time you like but you can never leave” Hotel California, The Eagles

And

“Look at us baby, up all night
Tearing our love apart
Aren’t we the same two people who live
through years in the dark?
Ahh…
Every time I try to walk away
Something makes me turn around and stay
And I can’t tell you why” I Can’t Tell You Why, The Eagles

And

“Glowin’ and burnin’, blinded by thirst
They didn’t see the stop sign, took a turn for the worst
She said, “Listen baby, you can hear the engine ring
We’ve been up and down this highway, haven’t seen a goddamn thing”

He said, “Call the doctor, I think I’m gonna crash”
“The doctor say he’s comin’ but you gotta pay in cash”
They were rushin’ down that freeway, messed around and got lost
They didn’t care, they were just dyin’ to get off and it was

Life in the fast lane, surely make you lose your mind
Life in the fast lane
Life in the fast lane, everything all the time
Life in the fast lane

Life in the fast lane
Life in the fast lane” Life in the Fast Lane, The Eagles

And

“You can’t hide your lyin’ eyes
And your smile is a thin disguise
I thought by now you’d realize
There ain’t no way to hide your lyin’ eyes

She gets up and pours herself a strong one
And stares out at the stars up in the sky
Another night, it’s gonna be a long one
She draws the shade and hangs her head to cry

She wonders how it ever got this crazy
She thinks about a boy she knew in school
Did she get tired or did she just get lazy?
She’s so far gone she feels just like a fool

My oh my, you sure know how to arrange things
You set it up so well, so carefully
Ain’t it funny how your new life didn’t change things?
You’re still the same old girl you used to be

You can’t hide your lyin’ eyes
And your smile is a thin disguise
I thought by now you’d realize
There ain’t no way to hide your lyin’ eyes
There ain’t no way to hide your lyin’ eyes
Honey, you can’t hide your lyin’ eyes” Lyin’ Eyes, The Eagles

And

“Harry got up
Dressed all in black
Went down to the station
And he never came back

They found his clothing
Scattered somewhere down the track
And he won’t be down
On Wall Street in the morning

He had a home
The love of a girl
But men get lost sometimes
As years unfurl

One day he crossed some line
And he was too much in this world
But I guess it doesn’t matter anymore

In a New York minute
Everything can change
In a New York minute
Things can get pretty strange

In a New York minute
Everything can change
In a New York minute” New York Minute, Don Henley

And

“I like the way your sparkling earrings lay
Against your skin so brown
And I wanna sleep with you in the desert tonight
With a billion stars all around

‘Cause I got a peaceful easy feeling
And I know you won’t let me down
‘Cause I’m already standing on the ground

And I found out a long time ago
What a woman can do to your soul
Ah, but she can’t take you any way
You don’t already know how to go” Peaceful Easy Feeling, The Eagles

And

“Come on, baby, don’t say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love
Is gonna save me
We may lose and we may win
Though we will never be here again
So open up I’m climbin’ in
So take it easy

Well, I’m a runnin’ down the road
Tryin’ to loosen my load
Got a world of trouble on my mind
Lookin’ for a lover
Who won’t blow my cover
She’s so hard to find

Take it easy, take it easy
Don’t let the sound of your own wheels
Make you crazy
Come on baby, don’t say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love
Is gonna save me

Oh we got it easy
We oughta take it easy” Take It Easy, The Eagles

And

“So put me on a highway
And show me a sign
And take it to the limit one more time

You can spend all your time making money
You can spend all your love making time
If it all fell to pieces tomorrow
Would you still be mine?

And when you’re looking for your freedom
(Nobody seems to care)
And you can’t find the door
(Can’t find it anywhere)
When there’s nothing to believe in
Still you’re coming back, you’re running back
You’re coming back for more

So put me on a highway
And show me a sign
And take it to the limit one more time

Take it to the limit
Take it to the limit
Take it to the limit
One more time

Take it to the limit
Take it to the limit
Take it to the limit
One more time

Take it to the limit
Take it to the limit
Take it to the limit
One more time” Take It To the Limit, The Eagles

And

“It’s another tequila sunrise
Staring slowly across the sky
Said goodbye

He was just a hired hand
Working on the dreams he planned to try
The days go by

Every night when the sun goes down
Just another lonely boy in town
And she’s out running round” Tequila Sunrise, The Eagles

And

“Did you do it for love?
Did you do it for money?
Did you do it for spite?
Did you think you had to, honey?
Who is gonna make it?
We’ll find out in the long run
(in the long run)
I know we can take it
if our love is a strong one
(is a strong one)
Well, we’re scared, but we ain’t shakin’
Kinda bent, but we ain’t breakin’
in the long run
Ooh, I want to tell you, it’s a long run
in the long run
in the long run” The Long Run, The Eagles

And

“So you live from day to day
And you dream about tomorrow
And the hours go by like minutes
And the shadows come to stay
So you take a little something
To make them go away

And I could have done so many things, baby
If I could only stop my mind
From wonderin’ what I left behind
And from worrying ’bout this wasted time

Another love has come and gone
And the years keep rushing on
I remember what you told me
Before you went out on your own
“Sometimes to keep it together
We got to leave it alone”

So you can get on with your search, baby
And I can get on with mine
And maybe someday we will find
That it wasn’t really wasted time” Wasted Time, The Eagles

And

“The sun goes down
The night rolls in
You can feel it starting all over again
The moon comes up
And the music calls
You’re getting tired of staring at the same four walls
You’re out of your room
And down on the street
Moving through the crowds through the midnight heat
The traffic roars
And the sirens scream
You look at the faces, its just like a dream

Nobody know where you’re going
Nobody cares where you’ve been

‘Cause you belong to the city
You belong to the night
living in a river of darkness, beneath the neon light” You Belong to the City, Glenn Frey

Coaches Hot Seat NFL Quotes of the Day – Thursday, February 14, 2013 – William Shakespeare

“All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players: they have their exits and their entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven ages.”

And

“Be not afraid of greatness: some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them.”

And

“Cowards die many times before their deaths; the valiant never taste of death but once.”

And

“Life every man holds dear; but the dear man holds honor far more precious dear than life.”

And

“Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more; it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.”

And

“Listen to many, speak to a few.”

And

“Pleasure and action make the hours seem short.”

And

“Talking isn’t doing. It is a kind of good deed to say well; and yet words are not deeds.”

And

“There is a tide in the affairs of men, Which taken at the flood, leads on to fortune. Omitted, all the voyage of their life is bound in shallows and in miseries. On such a full sea are we now afloat. And we must take the current when it serves, or lose our ventures.”

And

“Things done well and with a care, exempt themselves from fear.”

And

“To be, or not to be: that is the question.”

And

“To thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man.”

And

“We know what we are, but know not what we may be.”

And

“To be, or not to be, — that is the question: —
Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them? — To die, to sleep, —
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache, and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to, — ’tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish’d. To die, to sleep; —
To sleep, perchance to dream: — ay, there’s the rub;
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come,
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause: there’s the respect
That makes calamity of so long life;
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
The oppressor’s wrong, the proud man’s contumely,
The pangs of despis’d love, the law’s delay,
The insolence of office, and the spurns
That patient merit of the unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin? who would these fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death, —
The undiscover’d country, from whose bourn
No traveller returns, — puzzles the will,
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know naught of?
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all;
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o’er with the pale cast of thought;
And enterprises of great pith and moment,
With this regard, their currents turn awry,
And lose the name of action.”
Hamlet, Act III, Scene 1

And

“She should have died hereafter;
There would have been time for such a word.
Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.”
Macbeth, Act V, Scene 5

And

“There is a tide in the affairs of men
Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune;
Omitted, all the voyage of their life
Is bound in shallows and in miseries.
On such a full sea are we now afloat;
And we must take the current when it serves,
Or lose our ventures.”
Julius Caesar, Brutus, Act IV, Scene 3

And

“My bounty is as boundless as the sea,
My love as deep; the more I give to thee,
The more I have, for both are infinite.”
Romeo and Juliet

And

“When he shall die,
Take him and cut him out in little stars,
And he will make the face of heaven so fine
That all the world will be in love with night
And pay no worship to the garish sun.”
Romeo and Juliet

And

“Did my heart love till now? forswear it, sight! For I ne’er saw true beauty till this night.”
Romeo and Juliet

And

“Don’t waste your love on somebody, who doesn’t value it.”
Romeo and Juliet

And

“There’s an old saying that applies to me: you can’t lose a game if you don’t play the game. (Act 1, scene 4)”
Romeo and Juliet

And

“True, I talk of dreams,
Which are the children of an idle brain,
Begot of nothing but vain fantasy,
Which is as thin of substance as the air,
And more inconstant than the wind, who woos
Even now the frozen bosom of the north,
And, being anger’d, puffs away from thence,
Turning his side to the dew-dropping south.”
Romeo and Juliet

Coaches Hot Seat NFL Quotes of the Day – Wednesday, February 13, 2013 – Leonardo da Vinci

“As a well-spent day brings happy sleep, so a life well spent brings happy death.”

And

“Beyond a doubt truth bears the same relation to falsehood as light to darkness.”

And

“He who loves practice without theory is like the sailor who boards ship without a rudder and compass and never knows where he may cast.”

And

“He who wishes to be rich in a day will be hanged in a year.”

And

“I have been impressed with the urgency of doing. Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Being willing is not enough; we must do.”

And

“I have offended God and mankind because my work didn’t reach the quality it should have.”

And

“Learning never exhausts the mind.”

And

“It is easier to resist at the beginning than at the end.”

And

“Necessity is the mistress and guardian of Nature.”

And

“The earth is not in the centre of the Sun’s orbit nor at the centre of the universe, but in the centre of its companion elements, and united with them. And any one standing on the moon, when it and the sun are both beneath us, would see this our earth and the element of water upon it just as we see the moon, and the earth would light it as it lights us.”

And

“The motive power is the cause of all life.”

And

“Every action needs to be prompted by a motive. To know and to will are two operations of the human mind. Discerning, judging, deliberating are acts of the human mind.”

And

“The acquisition of any knowledge is always of use to the intellect, because it may thus drive out useless things and retain the good. For nothing can be loved or hated unless it is first known.”

And

“He who thinks little, errs much.”

And

“It is easier to contend with evil at the first than at the last.”

And

“Iron rusts from disuse; stagnant water loses its purity and in cold weather becomes frozen; even so does inaction sap the vigor of the mind.”

And

“Obstacles cannot crush me. Every obstacle yields to stern resolve. He who is fixed to a star does not change his mind.”

And

“Wisdom is the daughter of experience.”

And

“Nature is full of infinite causes that have never occurred in experience.”

Coaches Hot Seat NFL Quotes of the Day – Monday, February 11, 2013 – Isaac Newton

“A man may imagine things that are false, but he can only understand things that are true, for if the things be false, the apprehension of them is not understanding.”

And

‘Errors are not in the art but in the artificers.”

And

“I can calculate the motion of heavenly bodies, but not the madness of people.”

And

“I was like a boy playing on the sea-shore, and diverting myself now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.”

And

“If I have done the public any service, it is due to my patient thought.”

And

“If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants.”

And

“It is the weight, not numbers of experiments that is to be regarded.”

And

“To every action there is always opposed an equal reaction.”

And

“To me there has never been a higher source of earthly honor or distinction than that connected with advances in science.”

“It is the perfection of God’s works that they are all done with the greatest simplicity. He is the God of order and not of confusion.”

“Every body continues in its state of rest, or of uniform motion in a right line, unless it is compelled to change that state by forces impressed upon it.”

And

“Idolatry is a more dangerous crime because it is apt by the authority of Kings & under very specious pretenses to insinuate it self into mankind. Kings being apt to enjoyn the honour of their dead ancestors: & it seeming very plausible to honour the souls of Heroes & Saints & to believe that they can heare us & help us & are mediators between God & man & reside & act principally in the temples & statues dedicated to their honour & memory? And yet this being against the principal part of religion is in scripture condemned & detested above all other crimes. The sin consists first in omitting the service of the true God.”

And

“The other part of the true religion is our duty to man. We must love our neighbour as our selves, we must be charitable to all men for charity is the greatest of graces, greater then even faith or hope & covers a multitude of sins. We must be righteous & do to all men as we would they should do to us.”
