NFL coaches on the hot seat: Jim Schwartz off the watch for now, Greg Schiano loses another

That said, removing coaches will be a slow process, and any of them could find their way back onto the list. It's just time to narrow our focus. With that said, there is one coach in particular who deserves to be removed: Jim Schwartz of the Detroit Lions.

But as it stands, they're 5-3 and in a three-way tie for first place in the NFC North. They've got a huge matchup against the rival Chicago Bears on Sunday, and if they manage to pull it off, it'd be easy to see them keeping it up and marching into the playoffs.

We had some of our coaches playing one another this past week. Frazier's Vikings fought gamely, but they fell to Garrett and the Cowboys. Minnesota kept it close throughout, but ultimately fell when they surrendered a touchdown to Dwayne Harris with 35 seconds remaining.

It's best we don't spend too much time talking about Allen and the Raiders. They allowed backup quarterback Nick Foles to become starting quarterback Nick Foles, given that he threw seven touchdowns. SEVEN TOUCHDOWNS! Yeah ... not a strong game from Allen and his Raiders.

Tomlin and the Steelers managed to put up 31 points, but they were never at a point where they were going to win the game as New England put up 55 points of their own. And lastly, Schiano and his Buccaneers remained winless on the season ... but they actually played well, for one half. They led the Seahawks 24-14 heading into halftime, but eventually lost, 27-24.

We've already talked about Garrett's Cowboys besting the Vikings. The Titans were able to get back to .500 on the season with a 28-21 victory over the St. Louis Rams, who are now 3-6 on the season. The Panthers were able to take advantage of the struggling Atlanta Falcons, and are now 5-3 on the season.

Ryan and his Jets were the most impressive on the week. They managed to down the New Orleans Saints, 26-20. The Saints were 6-1 coming into the matchup, but it seems that Rex may know his brother Rob well enough to take advantage of his defensive schemes. It was a big win, and it put the Jets up to 5-4.

Munchak and the Titans have the best shot at earning a win this week, as they play host to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Jacksonville is winless and coming off a bye week after playing in London against the San Francisco 49ers. Losing to the Jaguars would be bad for any coach on this list, at this point.

As far as the toughest matchup goes, it's a tossup between the Cowboys and Panthers. Carolina faces the 6-2 San Francisco 49ers at Candlestick Park, while Garret and the 'Boys will take on Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints (6-2) at the Superdome. The Cowboys probably have it tougher, as there's not many worse things to face than Brees in a dome.

Monday Night Football will feature one of the teams who have a coach on our list (in the Buccaneers) and a team that could soon be on it (in the Miami Dolphins). Joe Philbin is quickly losing his grip on his Dolphins, despite a couple solid wins here and there. They should be able to stay off it for another week though, as Schiano and the Bucs aren't likely to pick up their first win here.

Two of our teams will face off as Allen and the Raiders travel to take on the Giants. At this point, the Raiders might actually be favored, were it not for total annihilation at the hands of the aforementioned Eagles and Foles in Week 9. New York has the better team and should win this one but when you're talking a 3-5 team and a 2-6 team, who can really say for sure?

Lastly, the Steelers have a winnable matchup against the 3-6 Buffalo Bills. The Bills are hoping to have rookie quarterback E.J. Manuel back in the lineup, which would certainly make things interesting, but it's a game the Steelers would be expected to win either way. Of course, they've lost at least three such games this season already.
