Teams Whose Coaches Will Have Changed From Opening Day 2008 To Opening Day 2009

With this afternoon's news, we can add yet another to the list:

Tampa Bay Buccaneers - now in case you weren't following this, the Bucs were 9-3 going into the last month of the season. In the last week, all they had to do to make the playoffs was [wait for it] beat Oakland. I mean come on, anyone can beat Oakland, right? <-- except, of course, the Jets. So it's probably not so surprising that Gruden was let go. Looks like they are doing an entire overhaul, also getting rid of the GM.

So the others:
Detroit Lions
Cleveland Browns
Indianapolis Colts
New York Jets
Denver Broncos
San Francisco 49ers
Oakland Raiders
Seattle Seahawks
St. Louis Rams

That's 10, meaning that we are now at over 30% of the league. Heck, I may have forgotten a few (how has Cincinnati's coach not been fired yet?) . A full 3/4 of the NFC West will have changed coaches. And we still have not learned the fate of Herm Edwards in KC with the Pioli hire.
