The article makes it seem like Kliff isn't ready to leave the team yet

Raiders fired the GM.

Brady supposedly asked Bellichek if he’s interested.

Besides what Jerry decides with McCarthy; the only other potential openings would be a from a playoff loser this weekend.

What coach could get the ax, if they lose this weekend?

Buccaneers- Todd Bowles could be gone if he loses to us. Bucs have barely made playoffs last 3 years. Owners might decide, it’s time to move on.

Eagles- Nick Sirianni. They expect at least a championship game appearance and if that doesn’t happen, change is happening.

Bills- Sean Mcdemott. An upset by the Broncos might cause Pelugulas to make a change, thinking Sean can’t get them over the hump.

Now this potential opening wouldn’t be a firing since he got an extension.

Steelers- Mike Tomlin. If they lose to Ravens, the Rooneys might consider trade requests. Steelers have not won a playoff game in 8 years. They mght decide Mike and the Steelers both need a fresh start; so they are willing to trade him.

Other than our game my only other hope is a GB win

TB demolished Philly last year in this same wild card game. I would be surprised to see Bowles gone after a loss to us.

It's hard to see Steelers firing Tomlin. Yes, the playoff records for the last 8 years isn't good but then we have to remember that Tomlin had to deal with multiple injuries and/or weak QB, and yet he didn't have a losing season. Even Belichick cannot top that.

Steelers are rarely in position to draft top QB, this is the only downside to constant winning. At some point, Steelers will have to trade up to draft a QB.

Not firing but Steelers and Tomlin come to a conclusion that it’s better to part ways. The Steelers feeling they ridden the Tomlin train as far as they can, they need their 4th head coach since 1969. Tomlin decides he needs a new challenge, that he’s done all he can in Pittsburgh.

So, if thus happens; it would be mutual thing. They did give him an extension but the owner is starting to get tired of not winning in the playoffs. They won’t fire him but they agree it’s best to part ways. The draft compensation can help them get that qb . Maybe not in 25, but 26.

That was pretty fast

I'd say he was pretty much lined up before the end of the season. They fired Mayo so fast I wonder if they planned for him to only be the stand in until Vrabel was ready to get back in teh hot seat.
