Who Will Be First On The Unemployed List?

ST. JOHNS, Antigua, Aug. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Internet bookmaker Intertops.com has the latest odds whose head will roll this NFL season. The axe swung first for poor Dan Reeves last year. As he was denied the services of Michael Vick at Quarterback for most of last season, most observers thought this was a cruel blow to a Head Coach who has a string of enviable achievements to his name.
But the NFL is no place for sympathy and no doubt Franchise Owners, Fans, Players and Hot Dog vendors will be calling for the dismissal of their previously beloved Head Coach on the back of just a few hard to swallow defeats.
In Miami, Coach Wannstedt will try to hide a grimace behind his moustache if The Fish can't keep in the swim with their AFC East foes (and it will not be easy having to play Tennessee Titans, Buffalo Bills, World Champions New England and New York Jets twice early in the season). This could be Dave's Downfall!
The NFC West used to be a straight dogfight between San Francisco and St Louis, but the times they-are-a-changin' ... Mad Professor Mike Martz will be a man under pressure if he repeats the sort of decision that enabled Carolina to scramble past them in last season's Playoffs and Dennis Erickson seemingly has a hopeless task trying to lift a depleted and salary-capped ***** team from their Bay Area Blues. Who will you choose to leave their hot-seat for the electric chair?
