NFL Picks Week 15: Miami Dolphins and Teams Set to Suffer Under Interim Coaches

The NFL coaching carousel is just getting ramped up, with three men already turning in their head sets and many more expected to have the axe come crashing down within the next month.

For these three unfortunate teams, though, the "interim" tag won't be the only thing standing between them and victory this weekend.

Miami Dolphins

The Dolphins seemed to have finally figured things out. They came into Week 14 having won four of the previous five games, with their last three losses coming by seven points combined.

Then the Eagles came to town, Jake Long and Matt Moore went down, Miami limped away with a 26-10 defeat and, not surprisingly, Tony Soprano Sparano finally (and rather mercifully) met his maker.

Now, the Fins are faced with a game against the equally-rudderless Buffalo Bills in an AFC matchup that might've meant something a month or so ago, before Toronto's favorite team started tanking. Long and Moore will be back in action for Miami, though don't expect the thrill to return anytime soon, at least while Todd Bowles is at the controls.

Kansas City Chiefs

The Chiefs' fall from AFC West division champs to coachless chumps has been a rather sad storyline, if not an entirely predictable one. Season-ending injuries to Tony Moeaki, Eric Berry and Jamaal Charles doomed KC early on, though the team persevered to force itself back into the playoff picture at the midway point of the season.

Once Matt Cassel went down, though, the whole darn thing unraveled again, leaving Todd Haley hanging by the most tenuous of threads.

And what better time for Chiefs brass to cut that remaining chord than just days before the team is set to welcome the undefeated Green Bay Packers to Arrowhead Stadium?

What's that you say? Romeo Crennel (24-40 career record as a head coach) is in charge? Even better...for the defending Super Bowl champs.

Jacksonville Jaguars

The Jaguars were the first to get the coaching carousel going this season, bidding farewell to Jack Del Rio at the end of November.

Of course, that didn't stop Jacksonville from jumping all over a terrible Tampa Bay team in Week 14 by a surprising 41-14 margin. Such is the awesome power of All-Pro running back and human pinball Maurice Jones-Drew.

The Falcons may be anything but world beaters, but at least they have the decency and self-respect not to get blown out like the Buccaneers did. Atlanta has a coach and a playoff berth to compete for.

The Jags...well, they have Mel Tucker on the sideline and Blaine Gabbert under center.
