By: Michael C. Fehn
Updated: December 31, 2012
UPDATE: San Diego Chargers release coach, Norv Turner, and General Manager, A.J. Smith.
UPDATE: Arizona Cardinals fire coach Whisenhunt, GM Graves
The stadium lights are barely dim following Sunday's regular season closers in the NFL, and already, teams are announcing leadership changes.
On Monday, several coaches and general managers got the bad news.
Most notably, perhaps, is Andy Reid. In his 14 years as head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles, Reid racked up 104 wins, and led the team to six division titles and five NFC championship games.
Also on the coaching chopping block are Chicago Bears coach, Lovie Smith, Buffalo Bills coach, Chan Gailey, Browns coach, Pat Shumur and Chiefs coach, Romeo Crennel.
It's also being reported that the New York Jets are retaining head coach, Rex Ryan, however, General Manager, Mike Tannenbaum, will not be returning in 2013.
The Cleveland Browns didn't stop with firing coach Shumur. General Manager, Tom Heckert, is also out, as is Jacksonville General Manager, Gene Smith.
We'll bring you further updates as warranted.
