Several NFL head coaches venture into the indorsement half of the flavor with their job inwards jeopardy including Kliff Kingsbury from the AZ Cardinals, Frank Stephen Michael Reich from the Indianapolis Colts, Nathaniel Hackett from the Mile-High City Broncos, and Dan Campbell from the Motown Lions.
The Carolina Panthers fired Matt Rhule after a 1-4 start. He entered this season as the betting favourite to get the 1st caput tutor fired. Since losing his task after Week 5, Rhule is the lone head word coach-and-four fired through and through the number one half of the NFL season.
Other lead coaches on losing teams could turn a loss their jobs at the oddment of the flavor including Kevin Stefanski from the Stephen Grover Cleveland Browns, Daffo Diego Rivera from the WA Commanders, Lovie David Roland Smith from the Samuel Houston Texans, and Sweeney Todd Bowles from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Kliff Kingsbury (Cardinals)
The Cardinals are 3-5 and sit around inwards shoemaker's last place inwards the NFC West. They feature unimpressive wins against the Las Vegas Raiders, Carolinas Panthers, and New Orleans Saints. They scarcely flap the Raiders inwards extra time in Week 2, picked sour the Panthers who were 1-3 at the time, and knocked sour the Saints on myopic week on Thursday Night Football in Week 7.
Using the innovative metrical of DOVA, the Cardinals are ranked #30 overall or the third-worst squad inwards the NFL under Kingsbury.
In his 4th flavor with the Cardinals, Kingsbury has a losing record at 27-29-1. He steady improved during his firstly III seasons with the Cardinals jumping from a 5-10-1 track record inwards 2019 to an 8-8 book in 2020, and a 11-6 register cobbler's last season. The Cardinals hoped they could vie for an NFC Rebecca West variance crown, but they encounter themselves inward cobbler's last shoes with their next trio games against segmentation foes.
The Cardinals will come along on the in-season version of HBO’s Hard Knocks. Will the squad discharge Kingsbury before the popular realness show up debuts next week? Or testament the dramatic event spread during the 2nd half of the harden with Kingsbury’s task on the line?
Frank Wilhelm Reich (Colts)
The Colts were the consensus betting favorite to win the AFC South this season, but struggled come out of the gate. They’re 3-4-1 after losing 2 games inwards a row.
The Colts punted on this season when they benched starting signal caller Matt Ryan in favor of untried backup Sam Ehlinger. They also fired offensive coordinator Marcus Brady, fifty-fifty though he did not the primary quill signal company because Wilhelm Reich handled play-calling duties.
The Colts get the third-lowest scoring offense in the NFL generating 16.1 points per game. Their anaemic offense averaged 10.7 points per spirited in their quartet losses. They had deuce games inward which they scored fewer than 10 points including a 24-0 shutout against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Eccentric team possessor Jim Irsay could go off Stephen Michael Reich during the bye week, but the Colts testament feature to hold off until December due to a late-season bye inwards Week 14. Reich’s firing could follow sooner than later, especially if the Colts lose upcoming games against the Las Vegas Raiders (2-5) and Pittsburgh Steelers (2-6).
Nathaniel Hackett (Broncos)
The Broncos initially hired Nathaniel Hackett, the violative coordinator from the Green River Bay Packers, to enticement field general Hank Aaron Richard Rodgers to the team. The disgruntled Rodgers only used the Broncos to persuade the Packers to spring him a lucrative $200 trillion contract extension. The Broncos were stuck with a rookie chief train and without a quarterback.
The Broncos acquired Bill Russell Sir Angus Wilson from the Seattle Seahawks, but gave upwardly a significant amount of outline cap in the trade, and so provided Thomas Woodrow Wilson with a $245 1000000 declaration extension. The results get been dissatisfactory with the Broncos starting the season 3-5 and averaging a paltry 15.1 points per gamy for 2d lowest offence inward the league.
Wilson struggled with legion(p) injuries, and the offence spiraled out of moderate when they lost starting running support Javonte Williams to a season-ending knee joint injury.
Hackett might live a strong offensive coordinator, but he’s ill-equipped as the lead coach. He in all probability saved his job with a much-needed comeback win against the Jacksonville Jaguars inwards John Griffith Chaney cobbler's last Sunday.
We’ll view if the Broncos canful revamp their offensive after their pass inwards Week 9, but they face several toughened opponents inward the sec half of the harden including AFC West competition the Kansas River City Chiefs twice.
The Broncos mightiness non discharge Hackett during the season, but all signs tip toward a one-and-done season. Rumors out of the Mile High City suggest the Broncos would passion to make ex-New Orleans Saints head word coach Sean Payton take o'er the squad next season. Kaw River City Chiefs violative coordinator Eric Bieniemy is also on the unawares list. Bieniemy could getting even to Colorado, where he was a principal running indorse inwards college with the Colorado River Buffs.
Dan Campbell (Lions)
The Lions started the flavour 1-6 and missed Phoebe games inwards a row as the rack up squad in the NFL. They’re now 4-19-1 under top dog train Dan Campbell. The Lions are on the brink of a fifth-straight losing flavour inwards a year, which is disappointing because the dealership hoped this time of year could live the twelvemonth they turned around their losing ways.
The Lions have not been the same team since they fired Jim Caldwell, who had posted trinity winning seasons with the Lions 'tween 2014-17. They made a huge mistake hiring Matt Patricia, who went 13-29-1 before he was fired midway through the 2020 season.
The Lions have got the interior running to the #1 plectrum inwards the 2023 NFL Draft. However, only 4 of their final X games are against teams with a winning record.
The Lions spiel II upcoming NFC Frederick North foes including the Green Bay Packers in Week 9, and against the Chicago Bears in Week 10. Joseph Campbell could let fired if they lose both of those divisional games.
The Lions romp the New House of York Giants on the route inward Week 11 before they boniface their yearbook Thanksgiving spirited inwards Week 12. There’s real goodness chance the Lions will be 1-9 past the time they straight away against Super Bowl favourite Buffalo Bills on Thanksgiving.
