Which NFL Coaches Are on the Hot Seat?
Contents
NFL Coaches on the hot seat this season include Jason Garrett of the Dallas Cowboys, Adam Gase of the New York Jets, and Jay Gruden of the Washington Redskins.
Introduction
In the National Football League, there is always talk about which coaches are on the hot seat. This season is no different, as there are a few coaches who could be in danger of losing their jobs if their teams don’t perform up to expectations. Let’s take a look at some of the coaches who could be on the hot seat this season.
Coaches on the Hot Seat
The NFL season is well underway, and some coaches are already feeling the heat. After a disappointing season or two, these coaches are on the hot seat and will need to turn things around quickly if they want to keep their jobs. Who are these coaches? Let’s take a look.
Jay Gruden, Washington Redskins
As the 2019 NFL season approaches, there are a few coaches who are on the hot seat. One of those coaches is Jay Gruden of the Washington Redskins. After a disappointing 7-9 season in 2018, Gruden is under pressure to make the playoffs in 2019. If he doesn’t, he could be out of a job.
Jason Garrett, Dallas Cowboys
Heading into the 2019 season, Jason Garrett is very much on the hot seat. Garrett has been the head coach of the Cowboys since 2010, and while he has led them to three divisional titles, they have only made it as far as the divisional round of the playoffs once during that time. In recent years, Dallas has failed to live up to expectations, and Garrett’s job could be in jeopardy if they don’t turn things around this season. Factors working against Garrett include a sluggish start to the 2018 season, some questionable play-calling in key moments, and a lack of postseason success. If the Cowboys get off to a slow start again in 2019, Garrett could be looking for a new job midway through the season.
Marvin Lewis, Cincinnati Bengals
Marvin Lewis has been the head coach of the Cincinnati Bengals since 2003, and while he’s led the team to some success — including six playoff appearances and four division titles — he’s yet to win a playoff game. In fact, the Bengals have lost their last seven playoff games, which is an NFL record.
The Bengals have also missed the playoffs in two of the last three seasons, and with Lewis’ contract set to expire at the end of the 2017 season, many are wondering if he’ll be back for another year.
If the Bengals miss the playoffs again this season, it’s likely that Lewis will be out of a job.
Conclusion
In conclusion, it’s safe to say that any NFL coach is on the hot seat to some degree. Even the most successful coaches can be let go if they don’t win a Super Bowl. So, all coaches should be aware that their job could be in jeopardy if they don’t perform to the best of their abilities.
