NFL Coaches On The Hot Seat: Odds For Next NFL Head Coach Fired
- 👀Coaching turnover comes earlier each NFL season. The Jets axed Robert Saleh and the Saints fired Dennis Allen already this season.
- 📈Below, a team of NFL experts reveal our exclusive odds to be the next head coach fired this season.
- 🏈Jacksonville Jaguars coach Doug Pederson (above) and Dallas Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy are the favorites.
Each fall, a rite of passage unfolds across the 32-team National Football League: A handful of coaching castoffs are handed multi-million dollar golden parachutes to pack up their belongings and hit the road. The 2024 NFL season has been no different.
So far in 2024, fans and observers at Ohio sportsbooks have seen the New York Jets fire Robert Saleh way back in October after a 2-3 start. Then the New Orleans Saints canned Dennis Allen on Nov. 4, with the Big Easy’s NFL franchise serving as the second team in the league to fire the longtime NFL coach midseason (after the Oakland Raiders did so in 2014).
With two head coaches down and a handful more on the hottest of seats, it’s worth wondering which impatient team owner will pull the trigger on axing their head coach next. Struggling leaders such as Doug Pederson of the Jacksonville Jaguars and Mike McCarthy of the Dallas Cowboys continue to lead our list of contenders.
With all of that in mind, BetOhio.com broke down the hypothetical tape on which NFL head coach will be shown the door next entering Week 12 of the NFL regular season. Check out the best Ohio sports betting promos at BetOhio.com as well.

BetOhio.com developed these odds as an exclusive and they will not be found at Ohio sports betting apps. But those operators have plenty of other prop bets on every game, every week during the NFL season.
Which NFL Head Coach Gets Fired Next?
When it comes to candidates to join luminaries like Saleh and Allen on the employment line, keep an eye on Pederson. He’s our favorite at +300 odds to get fired next after leading Jacksonville to a 2-9 record and the worst winning percentage in the league through 11 weeks of play at .182. Their latest loss was a 52-6 blowout at the hands of the Detroit Lions, the biggest margin of defeat in Jaguars franchise history.
Then you have the ever-present hot seat dweller in the Lone Star State, Cowboys coach McCarthy. He is overseeing an absolute dud of a 3-7 season in Dallas and the team has set a dubious record. The Cowboys have trailed by at least 20 points in six straight games at AT&T Stadium, dating to last postseason, extending their own NFL record.
Relative longshots Matt Eberflus of the 4-6 Chicago Bears and Brian Daboll of the hapless, 2-8 New York Giants are at +500 apiece on our board.
Customers using the best NFL betting apps in Ohio might note that both of Ohio’s NFL coaches are on our list. Zac Taylor of the 4-7 Cincinnati Bengals is at +1100 odds and Kevin Stefanski of the 2-8 Cleveland Browns is at +1750.
But everyone appears to be chasing Pederson towards unemployment at this juncture of the NFL’s marathon of a regular season.
