NFL Teams Needing A Coach? Official Number Is Six

At least, I think it is six, as the Lions are ready take plenty of time to put there plan together, as the true first fire was Steve Mariucci on November 28th, 2005. But we do add Norv Turner, Oakland Raiders former head coach, as the latest to his walking papers. He's had back-to-back losing seasons in two years on the job.

We're also given a little insight on Baltimore Ravens coach Brian Billick, who dodged a bullet with his rumored firing. He was given the "opportunity" to return in 2006 only after agreeing with owner Steve Bisciotti to make significant changes in the way he runs the team. Billick hinted at his "plans" to show less arrogance, take a tougher stance with the players and adding some "punch" to the Raven's lackluster offense for next season in a press conference this morning.
