Before winning Super Bowl XLV, the Green Bay Packers got two NFL head coaches fired.
After the Packers beat the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday Night Football and the Minnesota Vikings at the Metrodome, head coaches Wade Phillips and Brad Childress were canned by the Cowboys and Vikings, respectively.
The Chicago Bulls beat the Utah Jazz 91-86 last night. Today, according to local reports in Salt Lake City, Jerry Sloan resigned as the Jazz's head coach after more than 20 years on the sidelines.
Does this mean the Bulls will win the NBA Finals this year? If the playoffs started today, Chicago would have the Eastern Conference's No. 3 seed, so it's not out of the question.
What is certain is that Sloan has been with the Jazz for a long time, so his resignation signals an end to a long and prosperous era. Although he never won an NBA title, he is third all-time among head coaches in career wins with 1,221.
To put that in perspective, Phil Jackson, who has 11 NBA titles, is only fifth all-time in wins.
Tyrone Corbin is expected to take over as Utah's interim coach.
