Isn’t It Easier To Say Who DIDN’T Get Fired?

What are you doing New Year’s Eve, the song says. Well, currently, I’m enjoying lunch in a favorite restaurant. They have ESPN on the TVs in the bar area, and the “crawl” is showing the NFL coaches canned (affectionately known as “black Monday”).
Watching the list scroll by I got to thinking, gee, wouldn’t it be easier to say who didn’t get fired than who did?
Or maybe it should say: “the following teams are in the playoffs and retained their coach. Everyone else fired their coach.”
Ah, life in the sports world.
Here’s a Buck Owens song about football. It’s terribly dated, because most of the named college football bowls don’t exist any longer.....
Written and recorded by Buck Owens. Released in November 1973 from the album "The Best of Buck Owens, Vol. 5", it reached #8 in the U.S. and #7 in Canada.

I find the Black Monday for MLB more interesting.

In a way, I do, too, because there’s more “why are they keeping that bozo” (Bryan Price) and “why did they fire him?” (Mike Hargrove) suspense. In the NFL, it’s pretty much as I said: make playoffs, keep job; miss playoffs, go to another team and lose there, too.
I’m shocked that it took the Bunglers, ahem, Bengals this long to ditch Marvin Lewis.
