Jay Gruden is too easy also Tomsula could likely be a one and done coach. If the Saints and Sean Payton part ways teams will line up to hire him, but here is my shocker:

Chip Kelly resigns to take over a high profile program in College or another program that used to be high profile, but can afford to pay him the money...Oklahoma or Colorado is my best guess at this moment.

A few I've thought about:

After a disappointing season the Texans move on from O'Brien and it's called a mutual split.

Like you said Gruden is a pretty obvious one but I'll add Wisenhunt as a mid season fire.

Andy Reid doesn't make the playoffs and the offense again disappoints and he retires after the season and fades away from football like his mentor Holmgren.

Tom Coughlin finally retires at the age of 125.

It seems to me if you bet on Cleveland firing their coach every single year, you'd come out ahead. Jason Garrett at +4000 might be worth a flyer...

I go with Philbin in Miami.
I could see them starting off slow and cutting the cord.

I'm not sure why Snyder even kept John Gruden's bro around after the last season. He looked as clueless as his team. If the skins go 0-4+ he will be the first tossed.
So who is 2nd.
Kelley is an interesting choice den. The limb he put himself on is only as strong as the free agents he signed and how the ones he let go fair. ie: If Foles blows up @ Rams and SB goes down in preseason again, this could be the beginning of the end for him.

Kelly is truly boom or bust. With all the moves he's made that are questionable, you could see this thing go south in a hurry

Kelly gets no consideration for back to back 10+ win seasons? Philly would fire him if...what? Super Bowl or you're fired? It's kind of sad that Kelly has to match or top 10+ wins AND have post season success while Fisher is virtually untouchable. Hasn't even hit .500 with the Rams and his job is safe.

Actually I like the Dolphins this year, IMO, they will have a better defense than the Patsies and a much better offense than the Bills and Jets. And I kinda like Clueless Joe!

I don't think he will get fired, IMO, he will decide to return to college and keep in mind Chip has as many post season victories as Fisher has had in St. Louis...A big fat 0!
