NFL hot seat: 5 coaches on the way out

Which coaches are on the NFL hot seat?

Every year, there is turnover in the coaching ranks within the National Football League. Despite some coaches not having much to work with, or a coach having a long track record of success, these men get the boot and then the search for their replacements is on.

This year, there are ample candidates to be fired. Some have won championships with their organization, while others look like they would be hard-pressed to win eight games in a season, or perhaps two. This is a cruel time of year for these men, knowing that they are about to either be forced into early retirement, a lesser role somewhere else, or another job in a different city.

Of course, it also matters what team you are the coach of. There are some that show incredible loyalty such as the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cincinnati Bengals, while others such as the Cleveland Browns barely allow you an hour before showing you the door.

Nobody ever said that taking one of the 32 NFL head coaching jobs is easy, and these subsequent five men are about to pay the price for being employed in this high-reward, high-stakes league.
