History shows there's no Super Bowl grace period

Normally, calling for a coach to be fired just a year after a Super Bowl appearance would be outrageous, but this was no normal end to the season for Philadelphia. The Eagles lost six of their last seven games after a 10-1 start, being eliminated from the playoffs Monday night by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

While some may think that calls for Sirianni's job are hasty, past circumstances have proven that even a Super Bowl appearance doesn't mean job security. Not counting retirements, here are the seven coaches who were either fired or resigned one year - and in some cases, less than a year - after leading their team to the Super Bowl:

John Rauch, Oakland Raiders

Rauch's Raiders went 13-1 in 1967 but lost Super Bowl II to Green Bay in Vince Lombardi's last game with the Packers. Oakland had another stellar regular season in 1968 by finishing 12-2 but fell to the Jets in the AFL Championship Game. The problems Rauch had with owner Al Davis came to a head and led to Rauch's resignation in the 1968/69 offseason. While Rauch spent the next two seasons as head coach of a bad Buffalo team, Davis promoted future Hall of Famer John Madden to head coach, with Madden leading the Raiders to a Super Bowl win in 1976.

Don Shula, Baltimore Colts

No, that's not a typo. Long before Shula spent 26 seasons as head coach of the Miami Dolphins, he spent seven seasons leading the Baltimore Colts, who lost to Joe Namath's Jets in Super Bowl III. The Colts narrowly missed the playoffs with an 8-5-1 record in 1969, at which time Shula was approached by Dolphins owner Joe Robbie. Robbie not only offered Shula the head coach and general manager positions but also an ownership stake in the team. Shula left for Miami, but there was no setback for Baltimore. New head coach Don McCafferty led the Colts to a Super Bowl win the very next year.

Jimmy Johnson, Dallas Cowboys

When Jerry Jones bought the Dallas Cowboys in 1989, he ruffled many feathers by firing Tom Landry, the only head coach Dallas ever had to that point. Landry was replaced by Johnson, who had won a college football championship at the University of Miami. After a 1-15 finish in his first season with Dallas, Johnson turned the Cowboys into back-to-back Super Bowl champions in 1992 and '93. However, Johnson and Jones butted heads, which led to Johnson's departure in the 1993/94 offseason. Interestingly, while new coach Barry Switzer led the Cowboys to a Super Bowl XXX win, Dallas hasn't even played in the NFC Championship Game since then.

Bill Parcells, New England Patriots

After winning two Super Bowls with the New York Giants in 1986 and 1990, Parcells spent two years in retirement before becoming head coach of the Patriots in 1993. Parcells inherited an awful New England team but turned them around in just four seasons. While the Pats lost to Green Bay in Super Bowl XXXI, there was hope for the future, but amid tension with owner Robert Kraft, Parcells forced his way out of his contract and became head coach of the Jets the next year. It's safe to say the Patriots turned out OK after that.

Mike Holmgren, Green Bay Packers

After roughly 25 years of irrelevance, the Packers were turned around by Holmgren and quarterback Brett Favre in the 1990s, culminating with a Super Bowl win in 1996. Green Bay returned to the Super Bowl the next year but lost to Denver. After a wild-card elimination in 1998, Holmgren resigned to become the head coach and general manager of the Seattle Seahawks. Favre never made another Super Bowl appearance after Holmgren's departure, and it took until 2010 for Green Bay to win another Lombardi Trophy.

Bill Callahan, Oakland Raiders

Former Raiders coach Jon Gruden was traded to Tampa Bay in the 2001/02 offseason and was replaced in Oakland by offensive coordinator Callahan. Ironically, Gruden led the Buccaneers to a Super Bowl win the next year over Callahan's Raiders. The Silver and Black fell apart following that blowout loss, stumbling to a 4-12 finish in 2003 that led to a revolt by the players and the firing of Callahan. The Raiders have only made two playoff appearances since then, each of which were losses.

John Fox, Denver Broncos

Fox's Broncos - led by Hall of Fame quarterback Peyton Manning - set the NFL scoring record with 606 points in 2013. The sky appeared to be the limit before a humiliating loss to Seattle in Super Bowl XLVIII. Denver went 12-4 the next season before being upset by Indianapolis in the divisional round. This disappointing finish led to Fox's departure, but the Broncos recovered quickly, winning Super Bowl 50 under new head coach Gary Kubiak to send Manning into the sunset.
