Based on comments made this week by St. Louis owner Chip Rosenbloom, we can assume that Scott Linehan's job is on the line if the Rams don't make a major turnaround. Well, get that resume ready Scott, because you appear to be history.
The Rams were 3-13 last year and have opened this season by suffering back-to-back drubbings – 38-3 at Philly in Week 1 and 41-13 at home last week against the defending champion New York Giants in a game during with St. Louis was outscored 28-7 in the second half and gave up six sacks.
Perhaps the Rams can end their drought in Seattle against the injury-battered Seahawks. If not, don't be surprised if Linehan is looking for work by Sunday night.
Then, there's the strange saga of Lane Kiffin and the Oakland Raiders.
In one of the more dysfunctional pairings in recent memory, it has been clear for a while that owner Al Davis and Kiffin despise each other. In fact, there were reports before last week's game that Kiffin would be fired on Monday regardless of the outcome of the Raiders' game in Kansas City.
A 23-8 road win over the woeful Chiefs seemingly only delayed the inevitable and Davis could drop the axe if Oakland fails to deliver what would qualify as upset win this week in Buffalo against one of the league's early-season surprise teams.
In the immortal words of the Man in Black, Jerry Glanville, never forget that NFL stands for Not for Long.
