On Nov. 29, the Chicago Bears became the third team this season to fire their coach, letting Matt Eberflus go amid a six-game losing streak. That skid has hit seven going into tonight's game against the Minnesota Vikings on Monday Night Football.
All season, BetOhio.com – your home for the best Ohio sportsbook promos – has been updating odds on who would be next to join Eberflus, Robert Salah (New York Jets) and Dennis Allen (New Orleans Saints) as coaches to lose their jobs before the end of the 2024 NFL season.
Coach | Team | Odds | Percent Chance |
Doug Pederson | Jacksonville Jaguars | +325 | 23.5% |
Brian Daboll | New York Giants | +375 | 21.1% |
Mike McCarthy | Dallas Cowboys | +475 | 17.4% |
Antonio Pierce | Las Vegas Raiders | +800 | 11.1% |
Kevin Stefanski | Cleveland Browns | +800 | 11.1% |

There are no new names on our board this week and the running order has barely changed. Only the coaches of Ohio's two NFL teams swapped places (more on that later).
The Jacksonville Jaguars returned to their losing ways on Sunday with a 32-25 defeat at the hands of the equally woeful Jets. At 3-11, Jacksonville is in line for a top draft pick.
Pederson is still our favorite to be the next NFL coach axed at +325 odds, followed closely by Giants coach Brian Daboll (+375), whose team was routed on Sunday by the Baltimore Ravens, 35-14. The Giants are a league-worst 2-12 though they could be joined by the Las Vegas Raiders, who play the Atlanta Falcons in tonight's other MNF game.
Dallas Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy is third at +475 odds. Sunday's 30-14 win over the Carolina Panthers will do nothing to boost his status. Antonio Pierce (+800) is in his first full season in charge of the Raiders, but his tenure might not last much longer with Las Vegas on a nine-game losing streak heading into tonight's game.
Coaches for both of Ohio’s teams show up on our list, with Kevin Stefanski (Browns) at +800 odds along with Pierce, followed by Zac Taylor (Bengals) at +1100. The Cincinnati Bengals playoff chances are still hanging on by a thread thanks to Sunday's 37-27 win over the Tennessee Titans. At 6-8, the Bengals are tied with the Miami Dolphins and Indianapolis Colts for the eighth-best record in the AFC. The bad news is, they all trail the Los Angeles Chargers (8-6) by two games for the final wild-card spot, with only three games remaining in the regular season.
