And so it begins, the NFL’s end-of-year firing squad known as “Black Monday” has commenced. If you’re a regular follower of mine, you know that I released my annual “Coachey” awards a few weeks ago.

From what I can see so far today, I wasn’t that far off. Although I must admit, I find it strange that people losing their jobs has become a source of entertainment, but that’s the NFL for you. Anyway, here’s an updated on the latest firings. I’ll be updating this list throughout the day so keep checking back.
