In one way, it's easy to see why the Chiefs and Dolphins fired their head coaches on Monday. Hefty losses in Week 14 served as the final straw in each case, as the two teams lost by a combined 43 points on Sunday. Both Kansas City's Todd Haley and Miami's Tony Sparano were likely to receive the boot out of their roles after the season ended, so their Monday morning dismissal merely put them out of their misery a few weeks before expected.
