With four more weeks left in the NFL regular season, two teams—the Tennessee Titans and New York Giants—have already fired their head coach.
As many as seven others could be on the hot seat as well.
Cleveland’s Kevin Stefanski, Miami’s Mike McDaniel, and Vegas’ Pete Carroll are the three most-talked about coaches who are believed to be on thin ice, but Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer recently named another head coach who could be close to losing his job.
During a video posted to social media in which he answered fan questions, Breer named Arizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon as a name to watch when the next round of coaches start getting fired.

“I certainly don’t think he’s safe right now,” Breer stated. “I don’t know what the owner’s going to do, but it does feel to me that some level of change is coming. I think JG knows this. Right now, they’re [3-10], and you can’t lose [10 of your last 11 games] and expect that to go unchecked. I think there’s going to be significant change after the year, almost regardless.
“They’ve got a decision to make at quarterback, they’ve got a team I think with some really good young talent on it, but is there enough based on the amount of draft capital they’ve had the last couple of years? I think there are a lot of questions to ask about the future of that team.”

The Cardinals appear to be in store for an offseason of sweeping change.
It’s been reported that Arizona will move on from $230.5 million quarterback Kyler Murray after the season. The two-time Pro Bowler will likely be traded to recoup some form of draft capital, but if the team can’t find any takers, Murray could also be released.
If owner Michael Bidwell decides he wants to go full reset and bring in a new head coach to find his next franchise quarterback, few would be surprised.
In two-plus seasons with the Cardinals, Gannon has a 15-32 record. He’s never won more than eight games in a season, and Arizona is 3-10 under his guidance this season.
