Has any coach been fired even after making the playoffs the previous year? (alien.top)

Google wasn't much help and I was curious. There's a loud contingent calling for Arthur Smith's job. If the Falcons win the south but lose handedly in the first round of the playoffs, could he still be fired in the off season?

Marty Schottenheimer got fired after a 14-2 season because the Chargers lost their playoff game

Weren't there rumors that Marty wasn't all mentally there and showing signs of Alzheimer's when the Chargers let him go? Apparently their two coordinators, Cam Cameron and Wade Phillips were the ones who were really running the team and both of them left to take head coaching jobs after the season.

He got fired because he didnt get along with the GM.

That’s not why he was fired

RIP Marty, but the Chargers would never have won a playoff game with him.
