Cleveland: I've heard for a couple of months Mike Holmgren wants his offense run in Cleveland, and the incumbents aren't doing so. The season-ending four-game losing streak will likely do in Eric Mangini, as early as today, and I expect Holmgren to strongly consider Eagles offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg as the next coach. Holmgren, as a high school head coach 30 years ago, coached quarterback Mornhinweg at a San Jose school. John Fox is also interested, a friend of Holmgren's, and may have the man to coordinate the West Coast offense the way Holmgren wants it in Denver offensive coordinator Mike McCoy. I think Fox could bring McCoy with him.

*10:22 a.m. update: The Browns have fired Mangini.

Carolina: I've thought the profile here is low-cost coordinator (owner Jerry Richardson won't ever pay a coach $6-million a year, which Fox made this year, again), with the preference being a strong defensive guy. Rob Ryan makes sense, and the Panthers should jump to interview Zimmer.

Miami: I thought Tony Sparano would skate through because owner Stephen Ross wanted to give him another year. But then the Dolphins lost to Buffalo and Detroit at home, then no-showed in a 38-7 loss at Foxboro Sunday. Now I think he'll be gone. Who comes in, I have no clue ...

Denver: After hiring John Elway, the Broncos will try to convince Jim Harbaugh to consider their gig. Highly unlikely. I think they want a guy who can coach Tim Tebow ...

Tennessee: As Jay Glazer reported, there's a big meeting today in Houston, where owner Bud Adams will try to figure out if Jeff Fisher and Vince Young can coexist. Common sense says they can't. But Fisher's been there 16 years. He's been to the edge of a cliff with Adams a couple of times before and worked it out. I think there's a chance that'll happen this time too -- and if it doesn't, he'll have a soft landing spot in San Francisco.

Oakland: Sam Farmer of the Los Angeles Times actually tweeted Saturday that he thought Tom Cable would be out, and Adam Schefter followed that up with a similar report Sunday. Which figures, doesn't it? Just when they've got some momentum (6-0 AFC West record), they think of whacking the Cable guy in favor of the offensive coordinator, Hue Jackson. Jackson, if he doesn't get the Raider job, could be a strong candidate in Denver or Cincinnati too.

The playoffs cometh.

On Saturday, the Saints are at Seattle, followed by the Jets and Colts in Indy. A tough break for the Saints, if you believe that a short week plus a 2,100-mile trip plus a major loud venue is hazardous to winning. I do not expect Drew Brees to be fazed. At night, the Jets and Colts play a rematch of the AFC title game. The Colts have won four in a row and are settling in to life with backups.

Sunday: Baltimore-Kansas City early, Green Bay-Philadelphia late. Major, major break for the Ravens, drawing the Chiefs in Kansas City instead of the Colts in Indianapolis. Indy has an eight-game win streak over the Ravens. Baltimore is 2-0 versus K.C. since 2005. "No matter who we play,'' Ravens coach John Harbaugh told me, "we're going to have to win on the road, which doesn't bother us.''

Baltimore has won three road playoff games in the past two years, which is the reason for Harbaugh's confidence. That plus he has Ray Rice revved up and playing well. "We've got Ray going, and we've got different ways of playing on offense now,'' Harbaugh said. The Chiefs will try to not be distracted by the questions about the Charlie Weis distraction.

In the late game, the Eagles have gone from steamroller to vulnerable in six days. Will Mike Vick be healthy? Will he be able to beat blitzing Packers defensive backs? That will tell the tale of this game.

You're on the clock, Marty Hurney. And you're on deck, John Elway.

Top 10 draft order for the last NFL event (April 28-30, 2011) in a while:

1. Carolina 2. Denver 3. Buffalo 4. Cincinnati 5. Arizona 6. Cleveland 7. San Francisco 8. Tennessee 9. Dallas 10. Washington 11. Houston 12. Minnesota 13. Detroit 14. St. Louis 15. Miami 16. Jacksonville 17. New England from Oakland 18. San Diego 19. New York Giants 20. Tampa Bay

Without Andrew Luck, there won't be the same excitement at the top. But we don't know for sure whether the Stanford quarterback will come out or not, though Jim Harbaugh told me last week he thought Luck would stay. We'll see after the bowl game tonight, perhaps.

The 2011 schedule is out, sort of, assuming there is a 2011 season.

New England has Indy at home for the 629th straight year, and the Patriots also have a starry home slate: Peyton and Eli, Matt Cassel's return, Tony Romo and Philip Rivers come to Foxboro. Giants at Jets. Matt Ryan at Peyton. Peyton at Josh Freeman. Those are some of the highlights.

Jim Tomsula gets the W.

If you weren't rooting for the interim San Francisco coach against Arizona in the meaningless game of the weekend, you should have been. He was the defensive line coach of the Niners when Mike Singletary got fired last week, and when the Niners picked him to finish out the final game of the season, all of the Bay Area asked, "Who's he?'' A football junkie, that's who, who never took no for an answer to a career he just had to have.
