Well, well, here we are at Week Four of the NFL season and true to my word Scott Linehan was the first "casualty".  He lost this team when he got into a verbal confrontation with Torry Holt on the sidelines just as Buddy Ryan got the "boot" for his sideline "meltdown" in Houston years ago.  In Linehan's case he wasn't winning anything but Ryan was credited with the famous 46 defense in the '85 season.  Linehan was credited with making Torry Holt mad at him but nothing else.  Marvin Lewis isn't getting any praises in Cinncy either behind benching Carson Palmer and no matter what the "eggheads" on the NFL Today say, benching Palmer was a bad idea and demonstrates a lack of discipline.  Palmer doesn't catch passes or run the ball unless he's running for his life.  In Cleveland it was the quarterbacks that had the "meltdown" instead of the head coach, the starter having to be seperated from the backup and the backup has yet to win a game for the Browns yet the starter is the one "under the gun" after a 10-6 season.  If there were any real discipline in Cleveland Crennell would have said Anderson is my starter going into training camp thus negating any controversy that may have risen because of a few passes Quinn completed against the "vanilla" defenses of preseason.  Herman Edwards needs a air conditioner and a tall glass of ice water to because a big win over the Broncos doesn't mean the Chiefs are on the right track.  That win falls under the heading of "any given Sunday" but beat Denver IN Denver on, coincidentally, "Pearl Harbor Day", a date which just may live in Chiefs infamy" (sorry, couldn't help it LOL), that is if Edwards gets that far as head coach.  And let's not forget about Eric Mangini and the "Brett Farve experiment".  He's off the snide at 1-3, true, but do you think Farve will have another six TD Sunday?  I don't think so and the way he beat the Cardinals tells me that the Miami Dolphins are way better than they look for a 1-15 team last year.  Sure the Rams plugged in Jim Hasslet as the interim head coach but so what?  He has twelve weeks to prove he can be replaced by who they really want at head coach.  The players didn't "love" Hasslett as much as they hated Linehan so that's not a glaring endorsement.  Therefore fellow loyal bloggers I ask the question, should these guys be on the "Coaches Hot Seat" and if so let's get at the why's and why nots from the only point of view that matters anyway, tha fans!
