Brian Callahan is the first NFL head coach to be fired this season and chances are he’ll have some company in the unemployment line in the not-too-distant future.
Last year, three head coaches were fired midseason.
With the Dolphins off to a 1-5 start, Miami’s Mike McDaniel has been a central figure in coaching hot seat discussion this fall. The Dolphins find themselves answering questions again about their team culture following Tua Tagovailoa’s comments Sunday calling out unnamed teammates for being late to player-led meetings.
Aaron Glenn, the hottest candidate in the 2024-25 coaching carousel cycle, is making rookie mistakes like letting the clock run out at halftime rather than try a Hail Mary and having Justin Fields drop back on fourth down from the Denver 44 rather than attempting a long go-ahead field goal in the closing minutes of the Jets’ 13-11 loss to the Broncos in London on Sunday.
The Jets put up a franchise-worst minus-10 net yards passing as Fields completed just nine passes and got sacked nine times. The loss made Glenn the first Jets coach to begin his tenure with six losses.
