After a season in which no coaches were fired during the season, the NFL exploded in a spasm of dismissals Monday.
No fewer than seven head coaches and four general managers were given the axe, and the carnage may not be over. The status of some others -- like Jaguars coach Mike Mularkey and Chiefs GM Scott Pioli -- are still up in the air.
A complete list of coachGM firings, listing alphabetically by team:

Coach Ken Whisenhunt and GM Rod Graves, Arizona Cardinals (NBC's Pro Football Talk)
In the end, this move mostly comes down to the inability of Graves and Whisenhunt to find a competent starting quarterback.
Coach Chan Gailey, Buffalo Bills (AP)
Buffalo finished 6-10, and Gailey leaves with a 16-32 record. There was no immediate word on the status of general manager Buddy Nix.
Coach Lovie Smith, Chicago Bears (CSN Chicago)
Hired in 2004, Smith led the 2006 team to the Super Bowl, but he also saw his team collapse in the second half of the past two seasons. He was let go with a year left on his contract, ending a nine-year run that produced an 81-63 record, three division titles and two appearances in the NFC championship game.

Coach Pat Shurmer and GM Tom Heckert, Cleveland Browns (AP)
One day after another dismal season ended with a loss in Pittsburgh, the Browns fired coach Pat Shurmur and general manager Tom Heckert, the first moves in an expected overhaul by new owner Jimmy Haslam and CEO Joe Banner.
GM Gene Smith, Jacksonville Jaguars (AP)
The Jaguars fired general manager Gene Smith on Monday after four disappointing seasons, including the worst year (2-14) in franchise history in 2012. Coach Mike Mularkey could be next; owner Shad Khan is waiting to decide Mularkey's fate until he hires a new general manager, which could happen this week.
Coach Romeo Crennel, Kansas City Chiefs (AP)
The Kansas City Chiefs fired coach Romeo Crennel on Monday, but made no move on embattled general manager Scott Pioli -- though owner Clark Hunt warned "there may be additional changes to come" -- despite a 2-14 season marked by blowout losses, fan rebellion and a murder-suicide involving one of their players.
Coach Andy Reid, Philadelphia Eagles (CSN Philly)
The man who had benefitted from so many good decisions in his first dozen years made one poor judgment call after another. Instead of making another Super Bowl run, the Eagles spiraled downward and missed the postseason in each of the next two years, leaving owner Jeffrey Lurie no choice but to dismiss Reid with one year left on the coachs contract.

GM Mike Tannenbaum, New York Jets (AP)
The Jets fired Tannenbaum, their general manager for the last seven years, after a dismal 6-10 season, but owner Woody Johnson announced that Rex Ryan will be back for a fifth season as the team's coach.
Coach Norv Turner and GM A.J. Smith, San Diego Chargers (AP)
Coming after a season of stunning come-from-ahead losses and increasing fan anger, the firings complete a startling fall for a team that won the AFC West from 2006-09. The Chargers are the third team to fire Turner, who has an overall head coaching record of 114-122-1.
