Getting your player ready...
Who: San Francisco 49ers coach Mike Nolan
When: The rest of the season
Why: Nolan’s team is miserable and he has been fighting with his young quarterback Alex Smith through the media. This could all end in a bad way for Nolan after the season. Say San Francisco — which started the season 2-0 but has lost eight straight games — finishes the season with 14 straight losses. In that scenario, Nolan could lose his job. That’s amazing since Nolan entered the season considered one of the best young coaches in the NFL. After going 7-9 last season and stockpiling all kinds of young talent, Nolan looked like a coach on the verge of good things. Now he could be on the verge of looking for a new job.
