I think firing a HC in December instead of waiting until the season is over will become the new normal.  There is so much to line up for a proper search, and why wait until you have 6 other teams competing for the same pool of candidates.  So many of these searches are disasters because they are rush jobs because the team's (rightly or wrongly) feel the need to hire someone almost immediately.  

This is true enough, if they have their eye on a college coach they get a leg up on other teams.

Thats why Gase is here (whether we like it or not) in 2020. There is 0% chance Gase goes unless something unimaginable happens (ex. profanity-laced podium meltdown, sleeping with the owners wife, etc).

Wait he couldn’t use his QB getting hurt as an excuse? Just a foreign concept to see HCs accountable for results regardless of circumstances.

Carolina’s new owner, David Tepper, is a former minority owner of the Steelers. He’s had a front row seat to a highly functional organization with little coach turnover and lots of coaching success. Watching Pitt succeed this year with backup QBs, injured stars, etc. I’m sure didn’t help Rivera’s chances.

The Panthers were .500 (5-5) with their backup QB this year including victories over the Texans and Titans and one score losses to the Saints and Packers. 

 

If a Jets HC pulled that off, we’d be clamoring for a statue
