The pressure is on

Last season was a total bloodbath for NFL coaching staffs, with 10 head coaches getting the boot. While we probably won't see that much turnover again, the vibes are off for several teams. We’re tracking 10 coaches who are currently on the hot seat.

Who’s feeling the heat?

  • Robert Saleh (Titans): The team is winless, but they are losing close games. He’s likely safe for now, but that offense—currently 31st in scoring—needs a serious glow-up.
  • Matt LaFleur (Packers): He’s signed through 2029, so he’s safe unless the team has a total collapse or he loses the locker room.
  • DeMeco Ryans (Texans): Houston is 0-4, but given his track record of three straight playoff trips, he’s probably chilling. Still, he needs to show that CJ Stroud is actually evolving.
  • Dan Quinn (Commanders): Since their near-Super Bowl run, they are 6-15. With the defense ranking 31st in points allowed, the pressure is building.
  • Dan Campbell (Lions): The team has been on a downward spiral since Ben Johnson left. They’ve struggled defensively, ranking last in points allowed.
  • Shane Steichen (Colts): He hasn't reached the playoffs in his four-year tenure. If they miss out again, his job security is definitely a question mark.
  • Nick Sirianni (Eagles): Less than two years after a Super Bowl win, he’s falling out of favor. The struggles of Jalen Hurts are looking like a major problem for his future.
  • Jeff Glenn (Jets): The team is 4-17 since 2025. He’s signed through 2029, and the owner seems to be trying to exercise patience, but another bad season could change that.
  • Jim Harbaugh (Chargers): Sitting at 0-4 without a playoff win in two seasons, the honeymoon phase is over. The Chargers' owner has a history of firing coaches after great seasons, so nothing is guaranteed.
  • Todd Bowles (Buccaneers): The Bucs are 2-12 in their last 14 games. Even if the players love him, the results are simply not there.

Why it matters

In the NFL, the crown sits heavy. Whether it’s anemic offenses, defensive collapses, or failing to develop star quarterbacks, these coaches are running out of time to turn the tide. If the Ws don't start appearing soon, the coaching carousel is going to start spinning fast.
