LOTD: Why are so Many Teams Firing Head Coaches?

With the end of any season, sports fans can expect to see some teams fire their coaches and start fresh. The end of this years NFL season was no exception, with numerous NFL teams dropping their head coaches after disapointing seasons.

The Detroit Lions and Saint Louis Rams coaches were certain to be fired, as were some others as tenures ran out and owners patience ran thin. While Dallas Cowboys head coach Wade Phillips is apparently safe, other teams are interviewing Dallas Cowboys offensive coordinator Jason Garrett to fill their vacancy.

Sportsfans of Boston put out an interesting article analyzing several recent vacancies. Here’s an excerpt of the article:

Rod Marinelli
Of these head coaches, Rod Marinelli without doubt deserved it. The Lions, while lacking in talent, also lacked in preparation. When it was obvious that their offense should’ve been just throwing jump balls to Calvin Johnson, Marinelli took about 10 weeks more to realize it and then had the change made.

Check out the rest of the article to find out all the other recent firings in the NFL.

Link of the Day: Sports Blog Network Gives Bloggers Many Opportunities

Dallas Sports Fans was launched with one goal in mind, to provide a forum for all fans of local Dallas sports teams and all sports fans in the Dallas area. Being relatively new to the blogosphere, my expectations were pretty low, and I expected that for the first few months, we would be struggling to find readers

However, thanks to the help of several powerful sports blogs networks, I have been pleasantly surprised by the amount of traffic driven to Dallas Sports Fans. One of these networks is the Sports Blog Network.

According to the About page on the Sports Blog Network’s website:

Sports Blog Net is currently built on the principal of making all blogs in the network as successful as possible. Both in terms of money and traffic. We want sports fans to Discover, Read, Write, and Build.

• Read all the quality blogs in the network
• Write for a blog in the network
• Discover new blogs
• Build a new free sports blog
• Join the network as an additional revenue and traffic source for your sports blog

Our goals are to get all the small blogs out to the masses, give new bloggers the ability to get the exposure they are looking for, and give sports fans a destination that they want to visit everyday.

We at Dallas Sports Fans are excited about the opportunity to work with the Sports Blog Network and other affiliated blogs. Networks such as the Sports Blog Network are a great way for a new blogger to quickly build a following and begin creating revenue to open up more opportunities to get involved in the active community of online sports fans.

In an effort to build relationships with other sports blogs and provide readers with the best content online, DSF will also start offering the Link of the Day postings. LOTD posts are simply a way to say thank you to all the other sports bloggers that have helped us and continue to help us build a fan base.
