NFL Coaches On The Hot Seat: Odds For Next NFL Head Coach Fired
- 👀Coaching turnover comes earlier each NFL season. The Jets' Robert Saleh was the first coach in the 2024 season to receive his walking papers.
- 📈Below, a team of NFL experts reveal our exclusive odds to be the next head coach fired this season.
- 🏈Jacksonville Jaguars coach Doug Pederson is now the favorite, though coaches for both Ohio teams should be wary.
Each year, a select few head coaches in the 32-team NFL receive the ultimate golden parachute, losing their jobs but receiving millions of dollars to exit the profession for the time being.
This year’s cast of potential in-season firing candidates is taking shape already and any moves that happen will catch the interest of customers at Ohio sportsbooks as well as fans. On Oct. 8, with the Jets sitting at 2-3, Robert Saleh became the first coach fired. Who will be next?
All season, BetOhio.com will update a list of hypothetical odds for which NFL head coach will be the next to be fired in 2024. Heading into Week 7 of the 2024-25 league season, we have some heavyweight buyout contenders ranking atop our list.

Next NFL Coach to Be Fired Odds
Coach | Team | Odds | Percent Chance |
Doug Pederson | Jacksonville Jaguars | +225 | 30.8% |
Kevin Stefanski | Cleveland Browns | +600 | 14.3% |
Brian Daboll | New York Giants | +600 | 14.3% |
Mike McCarthy | Dallas Cowboys | +800 | 11.1% |
Matt Eberflus | Chicago Bears | +900 | 10.0% |
Zac Taylor | Cincinnati Bengals | +1500 | 6.3% |
Antonio Pierce | Las Vegas Raiders | +1500 | 6.3% |
The Field | - | +1200 | 7.7% |
With six weeks of the regular season under our collective belts, it’s becoming easier to see which coaches will get the slip next.
You can follow the Cleveland Browns playoff chances at BetOhio all season. Their coach, Kevin Stefanski, has them 1-5 to start the season. This week we give him +600 odds of being fired, in the wake of Cleveland’s 20-16 loss on Sunday at the Philadelphia Eagles. The Browns are the only team in the league that has not scored 20 points in any game, thanks to shoddy offensive line play and another disappointing season by quarterback Deshaun Watson.
Meanwhile, the Jaguars are floundering in Year 3 under Doug Pederson (+225), the favorite on our board among coaches who might be fired next. Pederson had the Jaguars at 8-3 at one point last season, but they're 2-10 since. Jacksonville got blown out by the Chicago Bears in Week 6, 35-16, in London. At least the Jags don't have to pack for another trip across the pond yet because they're playing another London game this Sunday against the New England Patriots. Pederson is in serious trouble if he can't turn things around soon, because the front office gave QB Trevor Lawrence a generous extension in the offseason.
Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy is at +800 after an awful 47-9 loss to the Detroit Lions in Arlington. Like Pederson, McCarthy is with an organization that invested a lot in its quarterback (in this case Dak Prescott). So again, if either the coach or the QB has to go, guess which one it will be?
Going in the opposite direction is Matt Eberflus of the Chicago Bears (+900), who is building good will thanks to a three-game winning streak. At 4-2 heading into this week's bye, he might fall off this list soon.
Bengals coach Zac Taylor is at +1500, but one would think his previous success has bought him some time to recover from a slow start. Perhaps the heat has been reduced a bit with a win Sunday night, though a 17-7 victory over the lowly Giants was not that impressive. Speaking of which, Giants coach Brian Daboll is tied with Stefanski for second on our list at +600 odds.
See our Cincinnati Bengals playoff chances for more detail on the 2-4 team.
Who Gets Fired Next in the NFL?
Given the “what have you done for me lately” nature of today’s NFL and the shoddy showings by some of the franchises mentioned above, the lone certainty in professional football is that another unlucky head coach will be out of a job sooner rather than later, joining Saleh. The question is, which coach will get the slip next in 2024? We’ll track that question and give you Ohio sports betting apps reviews too.
