The NFL Firing Squad is back with five new NFL Coaches on the Firing Line. To no one surprise it was Mike Shanahan (and Son Kyle) for the 'Skins, Leslie Frazier of the Purple People, Greg Schiano and they #FiredtheCannons, and Jim Schwartz of Restore the Roar. The One surprise and they just couldn't wait happened yesterday on the Cleveland International Airport Tarmac as the Browns relieved 1st-Year Lead Man Rob Chudzinski of his duties and that is "Karma" my friends. The way "Chud" bailed on the Panthers Offense last season benching players so they would be inept (ask some Carolina Panthers Players like RB DeAngelo Williams)...don't let that Door hit you on the backside "Chud".

The Details:

Richmond, Virginia...Redskins get rid of both Mike Shanahan and son Kyle as they reportedly keep all position coaches for the new coach. It is up to the new coach to keep or get rid of the assistants waiting. The New Coach will have to kill the "RG3 Circus" and retool that Defense on the back end. Shanahan went 24-40 and 10-6 in 2012 with just 1 Playoff appearance in four seasons.

QBs RG3, Kirk Cousins

Berea, Ohio...Browns Complex as ex-Eagles President now Browns President Joe Banner starts where he left off by firing a guy he hired last spring. "Chud" at one point had the Browns at 3-3 as they lost their last 9 of 10 and they regressed but they have no QB and that is a major issue. Banner should fire himself and GM Michael Lombardi off the Pats Tree will go after current Pats O-Coordinator Josh McDaniels who loves getting rid of QBs when he gets the Job.

QBs Brandon Weeden, Jason Campbell, Brian Hoyer

Eden Prairie, Minnesota...they get three solid 1st round picks in 2013 but they had a problem at a position where if they are glaring issues you will not win consistently and that is at the QB. Yes the Vikes need to find a few pieces on that "D" but they are a Train Wreck at QB and they need to address that ASAP. Coach Leslie Frazier had no shot playing Duck Duck Goose every week picking his QB.

QBs Josh Freeman, Christian Ponder, Matt Cassel

Tampa, Florida...the shocker is they get rid of GM Mark Dominik who spent 20 seasons in the Bucs Front Office as he picked Greg Schiano and you will leave with Greg Schiano. It all started wit a QB-gate w/ then Bucs Starting QB Josh Freeman and Schiano lost the Trust with the Players and if he said he didn't #FireTheCannons! They also spent a nice penny on Revis Island who paid no dividends at least yet...wait until next season.

QBs Mike Glennon, Dan Orlovsky

Allen Park, Michigan...6-3 after NFL Week 9 and they were an easy pick to win the NFC North as Packers A-Rog was out so too was Bears Cutler and the Vikes were in the basement. They finish on a torrid 1-6 in their last 7 when they had to go 4-3 or even 3-4 to get into Winning Time. No Discipline  across the board, QB Stafford needs to be reeled in as this isn't the Wild Wild West, and that Lions Cup Runneth' Full as the Roster is loaded and oozing with talent.

QBs Matt Stafford, Shaun Hill, Kellen Moore

The one common theme is two of these five teams on this list have QBs in RG3 and Matt Stafford. The other Teams suffered among other things poor QB play. Now of all the teams on this list the most enticing job is the Detroit Lions as they are absolutely loaded on both sides of the Pig they just need stability and direction and not taking shots at ex-Coach Jim Schwartz who I think made the Lions more than relevant in his tenure.

Shanahan might be done as he has done nothing since leaving the Broncos...Schwartz and Frazier are D-Coordinator's by trade and look for them to possibly get back in the saddle and Schwartz to join ex-Boss Jeff Fisher (Schwartz was Fisher's D-Coordinator in Tennessee for 10 seasons) in St. Louis and Frazier possibly hooking up with Lovie Smith if Smith lands Gig. "Chud" is an O-Coordinator by trade but it might be  awhile for him. Schiano is a College Coach and look for him to be heavily sought after at the Major College Level.
