Odds on Who Will Replace Every NFL Coach and GM Fired on Black Monday

With Black Monday (and Tuesday) in the NFL over with, let's take a look at who could replace the fired coaches and general managers for the St. Louis Rams, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Chicago Bears.

ST. LOUIS RAMS (2-14 in 2011)

G.M.: Fired Billy Devaney

There have been plenty of rumors about the possibility of San Diego Chargers G.M. A.J. Smith heading to St. Louis to take over Devaney's job. He has to be the front-runner, but the Chargers haven't committed to letting Smith or Norv Turner go.

Jason La Canfora reported on NFL Network that Atlanta's Les Snead, Kansas City's Ray Farmer, Seattle's Will Lewis and Tennessee's Lake Dawson are all names that the Rams are considering right now.  

Head Coach: Fired Steve Spagnuolo

The Rams have interviewed former Titans coach Jeff Fisher, so it's safe to say he's a top candidate. Fisher should get plenty of looks from across the head coach openings in the NFL, however. Former Buccaneers and Oakland Raiders coach Jon Gruden could be another candidate.

Either way, the Rams will likely look for a coach with previous head coaching experience. 

TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS (4-12)

Head coach: Fired Raheem Morris

The Bucs cleaned out their entire coaching staff on Monday after an embarrassing 2011 season. Fisher will be a candidate, but it's likely he'll be in either St. Louis or, if the Chargers let go of Norv Turner, San Diego.

Former head coaches Mike Sherman (Green Bay, 2000-05) and Herm Edwards (Kansas City, 2006-08; New York Jets, 2001-05) will also get looks. Edwards is an interesting option, as he served as the Bucs' defensive backs coach from 1996-2000.   

Panthers offensive coordinator Rod Chudzinski is a hot assistant after working with Cam Newton, and Falcons offensive coordinator Mike Mularkey will likely get a couple of interviews this offseason.

CHICAGO BEARS (8-8)

G.M.: Fired Jerry Angelo

The Bears canned their G.M. of 11 years Tuesday morning. It'll be interesting to see what kind of candidates they get considering the Bears' plan, as of right now, is to keep head coach Lovie Smith on board.

Reggie McKenzie, the Packers director of football operations, should be considered. He's been courted heavily by the Oakland Raiders. Recently fired Colts' G.M. Bill Polian is another name that will likely get tossed around. He has a long history of success despite recent shortcomings.
