NFL Coaches on the Hot Seat: Who's Next to Go?
6 Oct
Summary
- Ten NFL head coaches are ranked by job security four games into 2026.
- Robert Saleh and Matt LaFleur are currently considered 'Cool'.
- Todd Bowles of the Buccaneers is on the hottest seat after a 2-12 stretch.
Ten NFL head coaches are under scrutiny four games into the 2026 season, with many already feeling the heat after extensive turnover in 2025. Robert Saleh of the winless Titans is considered 'Cool,' with recent close losses indicating potential progress. Matt LaFleur also has a cool seat due to a contract extension through 2029, though significant struggles could still pose a threat.
DeMeco Ryans' Texans, despite an 0-4 start, have a history of playoff success, potentially buying him time. Dan Quinn's Commanders are struggling defensively, while Dan Campbell's Lions face issues on defense despite offensive performance. Shane Steichen's Colts face pressure to make the playoffs this year.
Nick Sirianni's situation in Philadelphia is precarious, with his success tied to Jalen Hurts' performance. Aaron Glenn's Jets are on a losing streak but may receive more patience due to his contract. Jim Harbaugh's Chargers are 0-4, with ownership's history of quick firings a concern.
Todd Bowles of the Buccaneers sits on the hottest seat, with the team's 2-12 record in their last 14 games falling on the head coach, despite offseason challenges and contract distractions.
