BY ADAM GREENE<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s\ntime again to look at the coaching performances around the league\nfrom the previous weekend and hand out our awards. That award, of\ncourse, a flaming bag of dog crap. Each of these men, through their\nmistakes, their mismanagement and general ineptitude has earned that\nburning sack of canine excrement the hard way. By sucking at a job\nhe\u2019s paid millions of dollars to do. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First\noff, some congratulations are in order. We have some guys that have\ndropped out of the list this week due to victories. Anthony Lynn\u2019s\nLos Angeles Chargers delivered a throughout panhandle beat down on\nthe Jacksonville Jaguars, so he slides out of the Top Five. And while\nDan Quinn\u2019s Atlanta Falcons and Freddie Kitchens\u2019 Cleveland\nBrowns were both favored in their respective games, neither man did\nanything moronic to screw it up and lose what should have been gimme\nvictories. So, good job, I guess. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5.\nJON GRUDEN, OAKLAND RAIDERS<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

When\nyou sign a 10-year, $100 million contract there are certain\nexpectations. One of those expectations is to not field a terrible\nteam two years in a row. That\u2019s exactly what Gruden as done in\nOakland and there\u2019s no one more responsible than he is. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This\nis his hand-picked squad. You could argue he got stuck with the guys\nhe took the field with last season, but not this year. He and general\nmanager Mike Mayock made the deals, crafted the roster and put\ntogether a coaching staff that has not, for even a single week of the\n2019-20 season, seriously competed for the AFC West. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\ncan blame Derek Carr all you want, but who would Gruden bring in to\nreplace him? The guy lived with Rich Gannon and Brad Johnson in his\ntwo previous head coaching stints and I\u2019d take Carr over both of\nthem. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Head coaching record: 105-100<\/strong>
Chance of being fired: 0 percent<\/strong>
Last week: Unranked<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

4.\nBILL O\u2019BRIEN, HOUSTON TEXANS<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Just\nwhen you think the Texans might be able to outplay Bill O\u2019Brien\u2019s\nterrible coaching and make the most of a loaded offensive roster this\nseason, he goes and soils his Depends against the Denver Broncos at\nhome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

O\u2019Brien\nis the AFC\u2019s answer to Mike McCarthy. There\u2019s too much offensive\nand defensive talent on his team (and his quarterback is too good)\nfor his team to lose consistently and expose him even to the dumbest\nof owners. As long as Deshaun Watson is the QB, this team will always\nbe capable of 11 or more wins, but will more likely win nine or 10\ngames a year because the only thing O\u2019Brien is worse at than\ncoaching, is general managing. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Head coaching record: 50-43<\/strong>
Chance of being fired: 0 percent<\/strong>
Last week: Unranked<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

3.\nMATT PATRICIA, DETROIT LIONS<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

When\nyou were handed a team that Jim Caldwell (who was garbage, make no\nmistake) could consistently go 9-7 with and you\u2019ve yet to even\ncrack .500, maybe you should turn in your whistle and play chart.\nThis whole NFL head coaching thing isn\u2019t for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Patricia\nis hampered by injuries to Matt Stafford and that would affect any\ncoach in Detroit, but the problem is the defense is terrible and\nthat\u2019s what the team hired him to fix in the first place. If a\ndefensive coach can\u2019t put a defense together, how the hell does he\nhave a job?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Head coaching record: 9-19<\/strong>
Chance of getting fired: 90 percent<\/strong>
Last week: Unranked<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2.\nPAT SHURMUR, NEW YORK GIANTS<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Speaking\nof former coordinators who can\u2019t seem to get it together as head\ncoaches, Pat Shurmer should be that particular subject\u2019s Wikipedia\nentry. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When\nyou win more games in Cleveland than you do in New York, you\ncertainly aren\u2019t on a coaching upswing. You could toss out the\nexcuse that starting a rookie quarterback most of the year hit the\nskip on this season for Shurmur and the Giants anyway, and that could\nbe the case. But what has anyone in the Giants organization seen out\nof Shurmur, either creatively or as a leader of men, that gives them\nhope?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s\nbe honest here. The Giants probably won\u2019t win another game this\nseason and they just have three more tries. That means that if\nShurmur doesn\u2019t get fired and goes 13-3 over the next three\nseasons, he\u2019d still have a losing overall coaching record at 56-57.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Head coaching record: 17-45<\/strong>
Chance of getting fired: 60 percent<\/strong>
Last week: No. 5<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1.\nJASON GARRETT, DALLAS COWBOYS<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

And\nhere we are. Another week, another home loss where his team came in\nas the favorite. There\u2019s no saving Garrett now. There\u2019s no more\nexcuses to give. The man can clap until his hands bleed, it\u2019s of no\nuse. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Garrett\nhas so thoroughly squandered his opportunity with the Cowboys and\ncompletely wasted one of the most talented rosters in the NFL that it\nshould rightly keep him from getting even a position coach job in the\nNFL again for the foreseeable future. He should exiled down the\ncoaching line to someplace like NCAA Division II Limestone. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Either\nway. His time in Dallas has come to an end. Jerry Jones would be\nsmart to go ahead and toss him down the Augustus Gloop chocolate\nshoot today. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Head coaching record: 83-66<\/strong>
Chance of getting fired: 99 percent<\/strong>
Last week: No. 4<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
