NFL hot seat watch, Week 11: What head coaches are feeling the heat?
By John Buhler
NFL fans have to navigate one poorly coached team after another every single stinking week.
The NFL is supposed to be the best of the best, yet why has the on-field product suffered so much this season?
It’s not the quarterback play and it’s not the passion the fanbases around the world have for the sport; it is the coaching!
With 10 teams changing head coaches after last season, it has only been amplified by the Carolina Panthers and the Indianapolis Colts parting ways with theirs before the halfway point of this campaign. 12 men are leading their teams who did not do so a season ago.
Eventually, somebody is bound to be good at this head coaching thing, but my goodness gracious…

The idea of Kliff Kingsbury being a head coach is better than the real thing
If not for the Los Angeles Rams suffering from a Super Bowl hangover far worse than the Cincinnati Bengals, all of our collective NFC West vitriol would be directed at the poor job Kliff Kingsbury is doing in The Valley of the Sun. The Arizona Cardinals are 4-6 and two games back of the Seattle Seahawks in the division race, but they have already lost the head-to-head tiebreaker.
If there was a head coach in the league today who would do a phenomenal job of portraying one on the silver screen, Kingsbury would be on the shortlist of candidates. At this juncture, he is on a shortlist of head coaches who may not return in 2023. His team has gotten off to a slow start this season. College or pro, Kingsbury’s teams never seem to finish their seasons on a high note either.
A win over the Rams last week helped, but the schedule only gets tougher from here for Arizona.
