In this episode of The Red Light Sports Ramble, presented by The Red Light Sports Network, Evan Witalison and Troy Otradovec will  look at the outcome, of Black Monday.  When the dust settled, the day ended with five job openings.  Did any of these openings surprise you?  One coach has already found employment; Jim Harbaugh, is headed to Michigan.  

The Atlanta Falcons decided it was time to part ways, with Mike Smith.  Even with a sub .500 record, the Falcons had a chance to win the NFC South.  From the opening kickoff, the Carolina Panthers dominated the Falcons, and claimed a playoff berth.  The Oakland Raiders will start the official search, for a coach.  After being embarressed, in London, the Raiders fired Dennis Allen.  Tony Sparano has been the interim coach, and could receive consideration, in Oakland, or with other teams.  Rex Ryan started cleaning out his office, before the season ended.  Ryan inherited a good team, went to a couple of AFC Championship games, but has not had success, in recent years. The Jets decided that they needed to make major changes and also fired General Manager, John Idzik.  After weeks, of rumbling; and a benching of Jay Cutler, the Chicago Bears are looking for a new coach.  Like the Jets, the Bears released both coach Marc Trestman, and General Manager Phil Emery.  Black Monday could not come quick enough, for Jim Harbaugh, and the San Francisco 49ers.  This firing was like the Christmas present, under the tree, that you know what it is, but just can't open it, until Christmas Day.  The same was true for the 49ers coach, he just needed to wait for the season to end.

With all of these openings, which way will team look.  There are a number of coaches with head coaching experience, that could be interviewed.  There are also many coordinators, looking for that first head coaching job.
