Recasting 30 Rock With NFL Coaches

A celebration is in order, 30 Rock is back!

In honor of the best show on television returning tonight, let's mix it up with the other best thing going on right now - the NFL.

What if your favorite characters were recast with NFL head coaches in their place? Don't think it's possible? Click ahead and tell me I'm wrong.

Mike Tomlin as Jack Donaghy

They're both the coolest guy in the room at all times and always immaculately groomed.

No matter how bad things get, like Jack getting working in the mail room or the Steelers having just a 3-2 record, you know they'll always pull their way out.

Tom Coughlin as Liz Lemon

Both have presided over some crazy situations over the years. Liz with just about anything concerning Tracy Jordan, and Coughlin with the whole Plaxico Burress mess.

Yet somehow, these two manage to pull everyone together and have success no matter what kind of staff/team they have.

Mike Singletary as Tracy Jordan

Tracy Jordan just can't seem to keep his shirt on. Mike Singletary is famous for taking off his pants to motivate his team.

I'd say these two have a little bit in common.

Tom Cable as Jenna Maroney

Both Cable and Jenna are what you might call "emotionally unstable." Jenna has a tendency to act out whenever she doesn't get her way or feels like she isn't getting enough attention.

I don't know why Cable would act out, but when he does, it's by punching his assistant coach.

Norv Turner as Kenneth the Page

Turner has a tendency to out-think himself in big games and ends up choking, as evidence by his four total post-season wins in 11 seasons. Kenneth loses his ability to talk when around a pretty girl.

So maybe, they don't have a ton in common personality-wise, but you have to admit that Turner looks exactly like Kenneth 30 years from now.

Brad Childress as Pete Hornberger

Both are bald and despite being perfectly nice people, just have the tendency to come off a little creepy.

Just as Kenneth told Pete, "You're what I think Judas looked like,' I can imagine that Brad Childress didn't look too much different.

Rex Ryan as Cerie

This is obviously not a matter of looks.

However, Rex Ryan is the new hot coach that everyone is going nuts about and can't stop talking about his winning attitude and how he has turned the Jets around.

On the other hand, people just can't stop talking about Cerie. Period.

Josh McDaniels as Dennis Duffy

Josh McDaniels got off to a such a rocky start in Denver that people almost immediately were assuming he would fail. Yet, the Broncos are undefeated and McDaniels just won't go away.

The same goes for Dennis Duffy, a beeper salesman/vending machine owner who should fail completely in every endeavor of his, yet he's resilient in a endearing way.

Plus, I can imagine McDaniels greeting everyone with, "Hey, Dummy."

Dick Jauron as Devon Banks

Dick Jauron is losing control of his team. With the team losing, T.O. unhappy and about to kick his attitude into overdrive, and everyone other than his mama calling for his firing, Jauron has a look of desperation mixed with despair.

It reminds me a lot of the look that Devon Banks had when he took over the company and lost control. They went from being G.E. to "just G. We sold the "E" to Samsung. They're Samesung now."

Jeff Fisher as Don Geiss

Jeff Fisher has been coaching the Titans since 1994, easily the longest tenured coach in the NFL.

He has become the godfather of the league, the guy that everyone looks to as an example. Don Geiss is the same kind of example of leadership and longevity.

Plus, they both have rockin' beards.

Wade Phillips as Dr. Leo Spaceman

Both these guys just have looks of complete confusion almost every time you see them. Phillips just stands on the sidelines with a blank stare while his team and quarterback are screwing up, but it's still funny to watch.

Dr. Spaceman may be the worst physician on the face of the planet, but I laugh at pretty much anything that comes out of his mouth.

Bill Belichick and Marvin Lewis as Grizz and Dot Com

Grizz is able to just calmly take everything in no matter what kind of crazy situation Tracy has gotten himself into. Marvin Lewis has been able to weather all sorts of Ochocinco storms and steer the Bengals to a 4-1 record so far this year.

As for Belichick and Dot Com, I'll let Jack Donaghy sum up why they are alike.

"Dot Com, this need you have to be the smartest person in the room is... off-putting."

Eric Mangini as Lutz

"Lutz? Ah man, Lutz is the worst."

That's all there is to it. Eric Mangini is just the worst.
