It’s hard to believe that the NFL is putting the finishing touches on Week 5 of the regular season slate. Week 5, just like the four before it, delivered the goods in many ways.

This week also gave fans a clearer picture of the future of their favorite franchises. For example, which teams will be making a coaching change at some point this season?

No head coaching seat is hotter than Mike McDaniel’s with the Miami Dolphins. The Dolphins lost a deflating matchup against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, and it feels like the team’s Week 5 performance may be the final straw for McDaniel.

Life was good for the New York Giants and head coach Brian Daboll last week after rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart won his first start of his career.

However, this week, the Giants suffered a painful loss to the New Orleans Saints. Daboll has had time to build this franchise. Unfortunately, it feels they continue to take two steps back.

Cleveland. Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski isn’t entirely to blame, but the Browns’ loss to the Minnesota Vikings in Week 5 was one that should’ve never happened.

The Stefanski era in Cleveland continues to feel like it has run its course, and Sunday was a great reminder of that.

Another coach who has suffered from the circumstances he has been dealt with is Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor.

The Bengals will be without quarterback Joe Burrow for the majority of the season once again, and their loss to the Detroit Lions on Sunday proved this team has no hope of staying in playoff contention without their star quarterback. A clean slate for Taylor and the Bengals feels like the right move.
