Whipped Cream Difficulties

It’s that time of year, folks. You know the drill.

Non-NFL: “multiple reports” say Steve Alford is out as UCLA basketball coach. I don’t see anything about this in the LAT, but there’s supposed to be a press conference this afternoon.

Marvin Lewis fired as head coach of the Cincinnati Bengals after 16 seasons.

A major storyline of 2018 was a mass exodus of season-ticket holders when the team signed Lewis. They played in front of a nearly half-empty stadium for late-season games against Oakland, Denver and Cleveland. Crowds were at their lowest since the 2011 season, averaging 50,754 tickets distributed.

He was 131-122-3 overall and 0-7 in playoff games.

Adam Gase fired as head coach of the Miami Dolphins.

Gase went 23-25 in his three seasons with the Dolphins, but was just 13-19 after a 10-6 opening season that resulted in a playoff berth.

Vance Joseph out as head coach of the Denver Broncos. He was 11-21 overall, and 6-10 this season.

That’s all I have for now. I’m going to be running around most of the day, but I will try to update if and when I can.

Edited to add: Steve Wilks out as Arizona Cardinals head coach after one season and a 3-13 record.

Edited to add 2: The Atlanta Falcons fired offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian, defensive coordinator Marquand Manuel, and special teams coordinator Keith Armstrong. But they kept Dan Quinn on as head coach.

Also: LAT story on the Steve Alford firing.
