Easily. It will never make any sense to me that people think they know who will be fired before those men are fired unless their employers have already announced it before the last game. Everyone thought Chuck Pagano was on his way out and many people also expected Jeff Fisher to be fired the same year. Lovie Smith's termination shocked everyone. Rumors swirled about Jim Caldwell losing his job, but he was retained. Marty Schottenheimer was fired after a 14-2 season and Steve Mariucci was fired after taking San Francisco to the playoffs. Speculating who will or won't be fired on January 2 before January 2 is a waste of time for me.
