After Frank Reich, six NFL coaches are most at risk of being fired next.

Along with former Las Vegas Raiders coach Josh McDaniels, former head coach of the Carolina Panthers Frank Reich is now the second NFL coach to lose their job this season. All of this occurred only 11 games into Reich’s tenure following his dismissal from the Indianapolis Colts the previous season. For the fourth time in five years, the NFL’s bottom-dwelling Panthers must now start the coaching search anew. They are currently 1-11. But Reich and McDaniels won’t probably be the only ones let go. At least six NFL head coaches are in danger of losing their jobs. Next up, who?

After losing to the Baltimore Ravens for the seventh time on Sunday Night Football, it’s surprising that Staley hasn’t had to pack up his office supplies yet. With all of the talent on their roster, the Chargers just can’t seem to finish games; they frequently lose by one score or less. And since Staley’s arrival, StatMuse says, that has remained an overwhelming trend.

The Chargers would need to heat up and hope that teams ahead of them start losing because they currently hold the 13th seed in the AFC playoff picture.

For Staley, who is currently living on a prayer, the time must be running out. Even now, it’s astonishing he wasn’t among the first NFL coaches to be fired.

Washington Commanders’ Ron Rivera
With a 4-8 record and a 2-7 division record, the Commanders are currently last in the NFC East. Rivera, who is in his fourth year with the Commanders, had to be inherited by Washington, which recently assumed new ownership. The team has never performed better than an eight-game winner since he was there. It’s likely that the new ownership is simply waiting until the end of the season if they haven’t fired him by now.

Brian Daboll, member of the NY Giants
Daboll’s second season has been appalling after his unexpected success last season, leading the Giants to the postseason despite playing without Saquon Barkley and with Daniel Jones. Of course, he hasn’t shown much consistency at quarterback, and that was before Jones suffered a devastating injury that ended his season. The team is among the worst in the league in terms of sacks allowed, which is another sign of their terrible offensive line play.

It’s hard to gauge the atmosphere around the Giants’ facilities because there have been rumors of friction between Daboll and management. For Daboll, this is only Year 2, but Reich didn’t even make it through Year 1. This one is somewhat debatable.

Matt Eberflus, who is also in his second season with the Bears, has an abhorrent 7-22 record. As usual, the Bears haven’t had a true identity that would have elevated the team. They appear to have taken a step back with the hiring of Eberflus, another defensive-minded head coach, since quarterback Justin Fields is still having trouble, both physically and effectively.

Because of their trade with the Panthers during the previous year’s draft, the Bears currently hold the first pick. They should probably have a second pick in the top ten as well. It wouldn’t be shocking to see Chicago general manager Ryan Poles fire Eberflus and start from scratch given that much high draft capital. That is, Poles manages to survive. This is a possible contender for Caleb Williams.
