Fangio- Broncos- went 7-10 with Bridgewater at QB, that doesnt seem too bad

Nagy- Bears- That ones been coming for weeks. GM gone too

Flores- Miami- Bit of a shocker, finished 9-8 and started 1-7 but went 8-1. Would be a solid DC for someone.

Zimmer- Vikings- He did a solid job there, could be a good pickup for someone. Also the GM is gone.

I'm somewhat surprised that the Vikings fired GM Rick Spielman. One thing the Vikings didn't lack was high end talented players.  Rick Spielman did a great job in draft day trades, often trading down and still ending up with the best player from the draft day trade.  Granted, Spielman had some big draft misses.  But his share of Home Runs was amongst the best in the NFL.  Any team looking for a GM should try to set up an interview with Rick Spielman ASAP.

Though I expected Mike Zimmer to be fired, I agree he would be a good pickup for someone.  Injuries went a very long way in the Vikings going 8-9 this season and 7-9 last season.  When Zimmer had his key Defensive pieces, his Defenses were a nightmare for many opposing QBs, with Matthew Stafford at or near the top of the list.

The Dolphins firing Brian Flores is shocking on this end.  The Dolphins finished the season 8-1.  This after a 10-6 season.
