Jim Caldwell was fired after four seasons as head coach of the Lions, accumulating a 36-28 regular season record with an 0-2 mark in the playoffs.
JIM CALDWELL WAS FIRED AFTER GOING 9-7 AND MISSING THE PLAYOFFS. ALSO THE LIONS HAD HAD 2WINNING SEASONS IN THE PREVIOUS 3 INSTEAD OF ZERO IN 14
Titans parted ways with Mike Mularkey, who had produced winning seasons in each of his two full years at the helm in Tennessee and after he won a game in the Playoffs.
MULARKY COMES CLOSE, BUT TITANS HAD HAD WINNING RECORD THE YEAR BEFORE INSTEAD OF 14 YEARS AGO. MAIN REASON MULARKY WAS REPLACED WAS DECLINE FROM MARIOTA. CARSON WAS NOT DECLINING UNDER MARVIN IN '05.
Lovie Smith was fired by the Bears after a 10-6 season and an 81-63 record (with a Super Bowl appearance) in nine years.
SMITH WAS FIRED AFTER MISSING THE PLAYOFFS IN HIS NINTH SEASON INSTEAD OF AFTER MAKING THE PLAYOFFS AFTER HIS THIRD. BEARS HAD MISSED THE PLAYOFFS 5 OF PREVIOS 6 YEARS.
Tony Dungy would become the first Buccaneer coach to be fired with a winning record.
DUNGY WAS FIRED AFTER HIS SIXTH SEASON NOT HIS THIRD, AND HISTORY SHOWS THAT THE BUCS MADE A HUGE MISTAKE BY FIRING DUNGY. DUNGY WON JUST AS MANY SUPER BOWLS AS GRUDEN AND EVERYTHING ABOUT HIS RECORD WAS BETTER THAN GRUDENS. HE HAD A BETTER RECORD WITH THE BUCS THAN GRUDEN DID, AND HE HAD A BETTER RECORD WITH THE COLTS THAN GRUDEN DID WITH THE BUCS. AFTER GRUDEN WON THE SUPER BOWL WITH DUNGY'S PLAYERS HE HAD A LOSING RECORD WITH THE BUCS AND NEVER WON ANOTHER POST SEASON GAME.
Marty Schottenheimer, who holds the records for most wins without a Super Bowl, still couldn't get it done in the playoffs.
MARTY SCHOTTENHEIMER WAS NEVER FIRED ANYWHERE AFTER HIS THIRD SEASON.
