2021 NFL Head Coach and GM Openings

Not sure if a different thread is tracking this, but we're now up to 6 head coaching vacancies:

In-season firings:
Houston
Atlanta
Detroit
Post-season firings:
NY Jets
Jacksonville
LA Chargers

Will see about others. Some of the more "rumored" coaches on hot seats, like Vic Fangio and Matt Nagy, and Doug Pederson, as seemingly sticking around. Zac Taylor is confirmed to be returning in Cincinnati also.

Will see what happens in the coming days. This could be "it" in terms of firings for the time being, but there could be more to come.

 

I think it'll be difficult to fire him with that roster and QB situation, but I could be wrong. Much easier to do had they not made the playoffs and finished with a worse record. And don't get me wrong... he sucks as a HC and should be gone.

That team is royally screwed for the next few years. They have to make a decision on Trubisky this offseason, which will be brutal. If they pass on him, they'll need to sign somebody in FA, meaning you're getting an average guy to just try to make the same like 8-9 win run to the playoffs as this year.

 

I think Daboll, Bieniemy, and probably Saleh are locks to fill 3 of the 6 gigs, if they so choose. I think all 3 will pretty much have their pick of the litter. Art Smith will probably be a hot commodity also.

 

PFT reporting that Gary Kubiak is expected to retire (again) this offseason. So it looks like Vikings will be in the market for a new OC.

 

I took my post down. It was erroneous reporting. He's not fired.

Some fake twitter account posted it and a couple networks, like ESPN, went with it.
