Scott Linehan or Lane Kiffin: Who gets canned first?

And when? I'll base best answer on the most accurate answer of these two questions, if one gets fired soon enough for me to pick one.

Wow. Here's the first category Yahoo! suggested for this question:

Pregnancy & Parenting > Newborn & Baby

Update:

Or is there an upset candidate? Marvin Lewis, anyone?

Update 2:

James H: Would you care to elaborate on exactly how the Rams are "above average"? Is there any category in the NFL where they currently rank higher than 30th (other than yards per punt)?

    I won't go with everyone else's answers. It is the obvious choice but think about this. Lane Kiffin has one thing that Scott Linehan doesn't and that is a win. The Rams have lost every game this season. At least the Raiders were able to steal one last week. We can all agree that both teams are horrible, however when you look at the Raiders at least they are playing competitive despite losing games. The Raiders lost a nail bitter today because of a poor defensive plan. The Rams lost because they are bad on not only defense but they lack the offensive firepower. Firing Mike Martz was the wrong move, and it cost the Rams as an organization. They lost 37-13 against the Seahawks, and in week one, it was 38-3. The Rams aren't even putting up a fight, and at least the Raiders are. I know what everyone says, and that is Kiffin will be done before the season, but right now, the Rams are worse than the Raiders..

    Kiffin has a crazier boss in a dysfunctional franchise, Marvin Lewis almost beat the reigning champs so he's safe as long as no one gets arrested in the next couple weeks, Linehan is not too far behind Kiffin. Linehan came to an average team, he actually screwed up the team, Kiffin is rebuilding for an impatient dillusional tenant (Al Davis) I give Kiffin until the bye week (first week of October)

    Nolan seems to be safe for now, the Niners are looking fine, so barring a meltdown he'll be fine.

    Al Davis has been trying to pressure Kiffin into quitting for 6 months to save himself having to pay off the remaining $10M/2-years on the contract. Unless Kiffin does something blatently insubordinate that might save Davis the money he'll wait it out.

    A good follow up question is - who the HE** would take the job after Kiffin? Davis is a senile psycho!

    i think of you're proper. Kiffin develop into fired because of the fact he did no longer provide grasp Al Davis entire administration. Davis is the worst proprietor in the league. If Cable does not keep the interest, what proportion applicants will choose to artwork for Al Davis? no longer many. for this reason the Raiders are 20-sixty 3 on account that going to the large Bowl. that is Davis' fault.

    Scott Linehan definatly needs to go. the rams messed up wen they started released all their great players. kurt warner had no reason to go. a quarterback that took a team to playoff 3 consecutive yrs and super bowl what makes u release the quarterback. they messed up wen they released mike martz. the whole organization is so screwed up starteing from the president and ceo's on down to the players. they release bruce what was they thinking so u stuck with holt which is the only dominant receiver they have now. mcmicheal is ok. they are just terrible right now and i would love to see haslett and linehan go.

    Scott Linehan. His team is above average and cant win, sigh.

    Look at all the talent on that team(on offense atleast). They should not be getting blown out like they do. They should atleast be putting up above average numbers on offense.

    i hope linehan because im a rams fan and i cant walk the halls without being harrased about likeing the rams, hes got to go, why did we fire mike martz anyways?
