The Cincinnati Bengals<\/a> will shy away from major change in 2026 by keeping on with head coach Zac Taylor.<\/p>\n

Bengals<\/a> president Mike Brown made that clear with his offseason messaging, complete with public affirmation for director of player personnel Duke Tobin at the same time.<\/p>\n

The rest of the NFL, though, continues on an almost unprecedented bit of head-coaching churn.<\/p>\n

Right now, the following NFL teams have fired head coaches:<\/p>\n

Tennessee Titans: Fired head coach Brian Callahan on October 13.<\/p>\n

New York Giants: Fired head coach Brian Daboll on November 10.<\/p>\n

Miami Dolphins: Fired head coach Mike McDaniel on January 8.<\/p>\n

Las Vegas Raiders: Fired head coach Pete Carroll on January 5.<\/p>\n

Baltimore Ravens: Fired head coach John Harbaugh on January 6.<\/p>\n

Atlanta Falcons: Fired head coach Raheem Morris on January 4.<\/p>\n

Arizona Cardinals: Fired head coach Jonathan Gannon on January 5.<\/p>\n

Teams like the Green Bay Packers exiting the playoffs over the weekend are notable to watch, too.<\/p>\n

Some of these teams, like Cleveland, are simply a mess. Others made grave mistakes, like Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

Still, a team like Baltimore is notable, given John Harbaugh\u2019s incredible track record of success and extensive resume.<\/p>\n

For the Bengals, three straight seasons of missed postseasons and chipping away at the prime of Joe Burrow is simply not enough to force radical change.<\/p>\n

The Bengals seem to be gently hinting that 2026 is the highest pressure yet for the regime, but it\u2019s a hard sell for fans, especially when it\u2019s good organizations with established coaches making bold moves in a new-feeling NFL right now, too.<\/p>\n
