The First Three NFL Coaches To Go

It what has become a trademark to the 'new and emotional' Dick Vermeil, the coach of the Kansas City Chiefs announced his retirement in a teary-eyed press conference after Chiefs defeated the Cincinnati Bengals 37-3. Ironically, it also kept reporters from asking too many questions about the Chiefs not making the playoffs with a 10-6 record for the season.

Meanwhile, Mike Tice of the Minnesota Vikings has apparently embarrassed himself and his team enough, and has officially been fired. And Dom Capers just didn't get it done in the role of expansion team genius with the Houston Texans, with the team getting progressively worse in its' four-season history.
