NFL Coaches Who Were Fired Today

In the NFL, there are a lot of coaches who are fired every year. Some coaches are fired because their team didn’t perform well, while other coaches are let go because the team wanted to go in a different direction. Today, we’re going to take a look at all of the NFL coaches who were fired.

Hue Jackson

Hue Jackson was fired by the Cleveland Browns on October 29, 2018, after compiling a record of 3–36–1 in two and a half seasons as the team’s head coach. Jackson was hired by the Browns in 2016, and led the team to an 0-16 record in his first season. The Browns improved to a 7-8-1 record in Jackson’s second season, but regressed to a 2-5-1 record in his third season before he was fired.

Marvin Lewis

Marvin Lewis is out as the Bengals’ head coach after 16 seasons, the team announced Monday.

Lewis, who finishes his tenure as the winningest coach in Bengals history, went 131-122-3 in Cincinnati, including 0-7 in the playoffs. The Bengals made the playoffs seven times under Lewis but never won a playoff game.

Mike McCarthy

Mike McCarthy was fired as the Green Bay Packers head coach on Sunday, Dec. 2, 2018, after the Packers were blown out by the Cardinals 20-17. It was the first time the Packers had lost to Arizona since 1949.

McCarthy, who was in his 13th season as head coach, led the Packers to a Super Bowl title in 2010. He has a career record of 125-77-2, which includes nine seasons with 10 or more wins.

This season, the Packers are 4-7-1 and in last place in the NFC North.

Why They Were Fired

Poor performance

In the National Football League, there are a number of reasons why coaches can be fired. Some are due to their team’s poor performance, while others may be relieved of their duties due to personal conduct. In either case, it’s typically up to the team’s ownership to make the decision on whether or not to fire a coach.

One of the most common reasons for a coach to be fired is due to poor performance. This can be measured in a number of ways, but generally speaking, if a team is not meeting expectations on the field, then the coaching staff will be held accountable. This could be due to a lack of wins, failure to make the playoffs, or even just poor play overall.

Another reason coaches can be fired is due to off-field issues. This could include anything from disciplinary problems with players, to legal issues, to personal conduct that reflects poorly on the team. In some cases, a coach may even be fired if they are found to have been using illegal drugs or engaging in other criminal activity.

Whatever the reason, it’s clear that coaching in the NFL is not an easy job and that coaches can be fired for a variety of reasons.

Lack of effort

Your effort is one of the most important things you can control in your career. It doesn’t matter how talented you are or how big your potential is — if you don’t put in the work, you’re not going to be successful.

In the NFL, head coaches are expected to lead by example and motivate their players to give maximum effort. If a coach is perceived as not doing everything he can to win, he’s going to have a hard time keeping his job.

That’s why effort is one of the main reasons NFL coaches get fired. A lack of effort can take many forms, but some of the most common are listed below.

-Not making necessary adjustments
-Failing to motivate players
– allowing players to take plays off
-Not using all of the team’s resources
-Relying too much on one player or one system

Poor communication

In any business, communication is key. But in the NFL, where a head coach is essentially the CEO of a multimillion-dollar business, it’s critical. And far too often, we’ve seen coaches get fired because they simply couldn’t get their message across to their players — or worse, because their players tuned them out entirely.

Poor communication was certainly a factor in the firing of Mike Mularkey by the Tennessee Titans on Monday. Mularkey had one year left on his contract, but it was clear that he had lost the locker room. The Titans spluttered to a 9-7 record this season after going 9-7 in 2016 and 8-8 in 2015.
