NFL Coaches Are Falling Left and Right - Who's Next To Get Axed?

Matt Eberflus’ tenure in the Windy City came to a screeching halt, and the season hasn’t even concluded yet. The Chicago Bears parted ways with their head coach following a tumultuous Thanksgiving matchup that had fans questioning his every move. While it may have seemed like an impromptu decision, the truth is that Eberflus had been on thin ice for quite some time.

The national television audience witnessed first-hand the coach’s inability to effectively manage time, as he blundered a timeout, sealing the team’s fate. It marked the final nail in the coffin for a season that never quite got going for Eberflus and the Bears.

This development comes on the heels of several other coaching casualties in the NFL. It’s undeniable that the hot seat is getting warmer for some of these gridiron gurus. Case in point: Brian Daboll in the Big Apple. The New York Giants, not exactly setting the world on fire this season, might be singing a different tune with Daboll at the helm. The clock is ticking, and it’s only a matter of time before the team decides whether or not to stick with him.

Further south, Mike McDaniel is seemingly breathing a sigh of relief. The Miami Dolphins skipped a beat when they lost to an inferior opponent, but McDaniel’s job appears to be safe... for now. Despite this reassurance, no one can rule out what the future may hold. In the high-stakes world of professional football, decisions can be made on a whim, with front offices constantly evaluating and re-evaluating their team’s trajectory.

Professional football fans can be merciless, and that holds especially true for those calling the shots. With each successive game, the list of coaches on the hot seat will either grow or shrink. Which ones will join Eberflus on the unemployment line remains to be seen. As the old adage goes: only time will tell.
