5 NFL head coaches on the hot seat after Week 16

Sadly, the game seems to have passed Pete Carroll by, as this thing is so over

How did we even end up here? Pete Carroll is a hall-of-fame head coach at both levels, college and pro. He won a Super Bowl leading the Seattle Seahawks and went to another. Carroll oversaw the most successful run in franchise history. Even without a ton of talent most years, this franchise almost always saw itself in the NFC playoffs. Now at 5-10 after a Chicago Bears loss, it is so over.

As painful as it sounds, the game has passed Carroll by. This franchise is in dire need of a reboot, which would require Carroll to resign from this post and embrace retirement, as well as franchise quarterback Russell Wilson leaving the Pacific Northwest to close out the final third of his hall of fame career. Either way, Seattle has to accept its best years are behind it to move forward in 2022.

Not even a harsh Chicago winter can cool down Matt Nagy’s hottest of hot seats

It does not matter one damn bit if the Chicago Bears beat the Seahawks by a point on the road; they stink! Because the McCaskeys are too proud to fire their lame duck head coach Matt Nagy before the end of the season, the NFL world will have to suffer through two more weekends before Bears ownership finally pulls the plug on this never-ending head-coaching catastrophe.

Even though the Bears won games in his first three years on the job, you could tell very early on it was not going to work out. Nagy is an offensive-minded head coach and the Bears offense was regularly the hardest watch for the better part of an olympiad. This team must get the right head coach and general manager to build a winner with Justin Fields. Nothing else matters for Chicago.

If the McCaskeys allow Nagy to keep coaching their team, then they are no better than the New York Giants, who still think the Joe Judge/Daniel Jones pairing is something worth investing in.
