NFL Coaches On The Hot Seat: Odds For Next NFL Head Coach Fired
- 👀Coaching turnover comes earlier each NFL season. Seven teams have made coaching changes since the start of the 2024 NFL season.
- 📈Below, a team of NFL experts reveal our exclusive odds to be the next head coach fired this season.
- 🏈The Dallas Cowboys are letting Mike McCarthy walk, leading to another shakeup on our odds chart.
Now that the day colloquially known around the NFL as “Black Monday” has come and gone, we have some semblance of an idea which head coaching positions are open in the 32-team league.
The Dallas Cowboys are the latest franchise to make a move, announcing Monday that they won’t offer head coach Mike McCarthy a new deal.
Even NFL teams in the postseason (perhaps those eliminated over the weekend in the Wild Card Round) could be next. BetOhio.com, your source for the best Ohio sportsbook promotions, wanted to stack up odds for which head coach will join the unemployment line.

Next NFL Coach to Be Fired Odds
Coach | Team | Odds | Percent Chance |
Nick Sirianni | Philadelphia Eagles | +450 | 18.2% |
Todd Bowles | Tampa Bay Buccaneers | +450 | 18.2% |
Sean McDermott | Buffalo Bills | +500 | 16.7% |
Brian Daboll | New York Giants | +800 | 11.1% |

The Cowboys seek a new head coach inside “Jerry World” for the first time since 2019, joining the Chicago Bears, Jacksonville Jaguars, Las Vegas Raiders, New England Patriots, New Orleans Saints and New York Jets as teams to change coaches in recent months.
These odds are exclusive to BetOhio.com as those seeking Ohio sports betting analysis can turn to us to keep pace with the latest NFL coaching developments.
Embattled coaches who are still alive, such as Nick Sirianni of the Philadelphia Eagles and Sean McDermott of the Buffalo Bills, face increasing pressure to win it all this year. They are among our favorites, as is Todd Bowles of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Who Gets Fired Next?
Sirianni’s team defeated Green Bay, 22-10, on Sunday and advanced to the in the Divisional Round, where the Eagles face the winner of tonight’s NFC Wild Card contest between the Los Angeles Rams and the Minnesota Vikings. The fourth year Philly head coach ranks alongside Bowles, with each holding +450 odds of being the next head coach fired in the NFL. That would translate to an 18.2% implied probability of it were offered at Ohio sportsbook apps.
Bowles and the Bucs fell on the wrong end of a last-second, 23-20 loss to the Washington Commanders on Sunday night in the Wild Card Round. That ended Tampa Bay’s season with a 10-8 record; Bowles is 27-24 (.529) with the NFC South franchise, with three consecutive NFC South titles but just one postseason win.
Other names to keep an eye on when it comes to NFL firings include McDermott at +500 and Brian Daboll of the New York Giants at +800. The former has a shot at extinguishing his hot seat by taking care of business against the Baltimore Ravens at home in the AFC Divisional Round on Sunday, though DraftKings Ohio Sportsbook listing the Bills as a 1.5-point home underdog.
Longshot firing candidates to remember include both leaders for Ohio’s NFL teams. Kevin Stefanski of the Cleveland Browns is at +1200, while Zac Taylor of the Cincinnati Bengals joins Mike McDaniel of the Miami Dolphins at +1750 apiece.
For now, the two men on our list this week who are still playing football have a shot at taking care of their long-term job security by winning the games ahead of them. Sirianni and McDermott look to get Philadelphia and Buffalo into their league’s respective championship games next weekend.
The bet365 Ohio Sportsbook lists the Detroit Lions as Super Bowl favorites at +300, then the two-time defending champion Kansa City Chiefs are next at +350 odds.
