The annual NFL coaching carousel

[88Commanders00]

Bills are the final expected opening for this cycle. 10 is pretty high.


Hot seat Jan. 2027:

1. Commanders - Dan Quinn
2. Eagles- Nick Sirianni
3. Bucs- Todd Bowles
4. Colts- Shane Steichen
5. Jets- Aaron Glenn
6. Bengals- Zac Taylor - well only if he has nothing left on his contract. Brown to cheap to him; if Bengals fail again.

This cycle took out a lot of long tenure coaches. Next year should be a low number of openings.

Since this year had 10 openings, next year should be light. 2 Big retreads will be in the market for next year’s coaching cycle; McDermott and Tomlin. Those 2 being available could play a role in whether a coach gets fired next year.

My previous post listed the potential openings next year. Only the Jets look like a team that could fire their coach in season.

Could a team fire coach to keep a young up and coming coach and promote them? We’ve seen that happen before. DQ better hope Blough really doesn’t outshine him. Blough really has a good year with offense and other teams may want him as head coach. To prevent losing him, we get rid of DQ and after meeting Rooney Rule; promote Blough.
