NFL coaches who will learn new definition for "sack"

Ya know, when I started to think something bad was going to happen to Chris Simms in Tampa Bay, I thought it would be Chuckie Gruden ripping out his errant quarterback's spleen, not another team doing the dirty work for him.
Chuckie is my front runner for coach to do a Fred and get fired this year. Art Shell is a very close second especially after Cleveland came in to their house and won with a fourth quarter comeback.
As much as everyone loves Jeff Fisher on Music Row, 0-4 may start to make some people grumble. The Titans really botched their handling of Steve McNair in the off-season; McNair's undefeated in Baltimore now. The Titans are starting Vince Young, and he is not ready for prime time yet.
So what about winless Detroit and the Ugliest Defense on Turf? Mike Martz's old team ran through his new team like they were I-75 South out of the Motor City. Their alleged defense has surrendered 115 points in four games. "Fred," I can hear you thinking, "Shouldn't Mad Mike be on your list?"
He would be except for one thing. They're starting to show they can score points. Fans don't like to see their team lose, but if the Lions are playing "last possession wins" with the league and putting up 30-40 per game, you can watch that.
I don't know if you can fire Green Bay's coach this year. They just fired Mike Sherman last year, but the Cheeseheads in power have shown they don't mind sacking a coach after one year (Ray Rhodes anyone?) Watch the Pack, because Number 4 will either toss four scores or four picks in any game this year.
