What coaches are most protected going into this season? My top three...

1. Bill Belichick

That's saying something when you can be involved in something as controversial as Spygate and still be as safe as this guy.

2. Tony Dungy

This guy is loved by practically everyone. He's finally got his ring and he'll probably ride off and retire on his own accord. He nearly retired this season, but I think it's fitting for him to "Christen" the new stadium.

3. Jack Del Rio

This guy has done nothing but make Jacksonville respectable. While they aren't quite to the level of New England in terms of locker room stability he has taken them a long ways in the right direction.

Go Blue!

Did you mean "Christian?"

Counting the Herd one hoof at a time.

You could probably go ahead and add Coughlin to the list. Mike Shanahan has shown that winning the Super Bowl will buy you at least a decade.

Nah, it's New York, they'll throw Coughlin under the bus if the Giants go about 8-8 this year.

Go Blue!

All three are good calls.
I would say Gary Kubiak is safe, especially if he gets the Texans their first winning record. All they'd have to do is win one more.
Shanahan and Fisher both probably have jobs as long as they want them.

While we're at it.
The three least safe
1. Lane Kiffin/David Archuleta/whoever the reanimated corpse of Al Davis hires
Welcome to life with the perennial NFL punchline, Coach Insert Name Here
2. Marvin Lewis
He's gone. He's toast. Forget calling Chad Johnson Ocho Cinco. Call him Asesino Del Coche.
3. Wade Phillips
Jerry Jones in the owner's box. Jerry Jones' teacher's pet standing next to him on the sidelines. This weill end badly.
Thought about putting Mangini, given the Jets' bad year in New York, combined with the Callahan factor.

"Perhaps the worst thing that can happen is to reach into the refrigerator and come out with something that you cannot identify at all. You literally do not know what it is. Could be meat, could be cake. Usually, at a time like that, I'll bluff. "Honey, is this good?" "Well, what is it?" "I don't know. I've never seen anything like it. It looks like...meatcake!" "Well, smell it." (snort, sniff) "It has absolutely no smell whatsoever!" "It's good! Put it back! Somebody is saving it. It'll turn up in something." Thats what frightens me. That someone will consider it a challenge and use it just because it's in there." -- George Carlin
