Matt Eberflus, Mike McCarthy, a deposed Dennis Allen and the most fireable NFL coaches of 2024

(This story and its headline was updated to add new information.)

The 2024 NFL season has already claimed the job of one head coach. The New York Jets fired Robert Saleh, fixing nothing in the process.

Saleh won’t be the only play caller sacrificed at the altar of progress. Black Monday — the day after Week 18 concludes — is the first day of the offseason for the 18 teams that failed to make the playoffs. It’s also the day struggling coaches across the league will be called in for awkward exit interviews.

Who are the most likely candidates to get the dreaded 7 a.m. meeting and escort off team grounds? These five coaches stand out as the league nears its halfway point.
