Jauron was hired as defensive backs coach for the Philadelphia Eagles. |
Washington Redskins |
Mike Shanahan, former head coach of the Denver Broncos |
Jim Zorn |
Fired |
Zorn, who was first hired to be offensive coordinator but had never been a head coach before being given the coaching reins, went out to a 6 � 2 start in the first half of 2008, but fell dramatically afterwards, and in his two seasons went 12 � 20 (.375) as the Redskins coach before being relieved of his duties following the completion of the 2009 season. |

Mora was fired after compiling a 5 � 11 (.313) record in his only season as head coach as the Seahawks lost the last four games of the 2009 season, being outscored 123 � 37. Mora will be a color commentator for Fox this season. |

Dallas Cowboys |
Wade Phillips |
Jason Garrett |
Fired |
Phillips, son of former NFL head coach Bum Phillips, was fired on November 8 following a 45 � 7 Week 9 loss against the Green Bay Packers. Garrett was their offensive coordinator and head-coach in waiting prior to being promoted. Phillips later was hired by the Houston Texans as their defensive coordinator. Garrett was named the full-time head coach January 6, four days after the season ended. |
Minnesota Vikings |
Brad Childress |
Leslie Frazier |
Fired |
Childress was fired on November 22 following a Week 11 loss against the Green Bay Packers, 31 � 3. The Vikings entered week 12 with a 3 � 7 record, second-to-last in the NFC North. Childress also faced controversy by releasing Randy Moss without the approval of owner Zygi Wilf and lost control over the locker room. Frazier was given position full-time prior to the Vikings' regular season finale in Detroit. |
Denver Broncos |
Josh McDaniels |
Eric Studesville |
Fired |
McDaniels was fired on December 5, following a 10 � 6 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 13. After a 6 � 0 start in the 2009 season, the Broncos lost 17 of their next 22 games, and became subject to a videotaping scandal. |
San Francisco 49ers |
Mike Singletary |
Jim Tomsula |
Fired |
Singletary was fired on December 26, following a 25 � 17 loss to the St. Louis Rams in Week 16, which officially eliminated the 49ers from playoff contention. Heavily favored to win the NFC West, the 49ers instead started the 2010 season with an 0 � 5 record. Singletary also faced controversy by switching between starting quarterbacks Alex Smith and Troy Smith at least three different times during the season, and unsuccessfully trying to mold the team like the 1985 Chicago Bears. |
