McCarthy, Quinn, & Sirianni: Which NFL Coaches Are on the Hot Seat? | Football Season Preview

quarterbacks front office members that are going into the season a little uncomfortable seats getting a little hot whose seat is the hottest though CAC uh I will go with the team who hired a coach they didn't want with the Washington commanders and Dan Quinn wish let everyone know that year one going in on the H really quiet about we we can be honest about this though right because as after they hired Dan quinnn after they announced him as the head coach they were still going back and forth with Ben Johnson's representative the offensive coordinator from the Lions so to me that speaks you are on Shaky Ground walking in immediately we're starting a rookie quarterback we don't have a great offensive line we don't have a great defense and also this would not even be a new trend we have seen a handful of teams since the pandemic started in 2020 that have fired coaches after one year the Texans have done it twice in that time span back to back even uh so this is not something that's as taboo as the to be and I think that if they get out to a bad start and Jaden Daniels is struggling they're not playing well on defense they're at the bottom of the NFC East rankings we know where it's going to come back to and we've already know that this ownership group is capable of irrational Behavior Welly I I think especially if Jaden Daniels does well even but the rest of the team success I mean the history of the NFL is littered especially like post 2011 where these rookie quarterback contracts became even more valuable with coaches who the organization said that player looks good we don't think you're the one we want molding him and so we're going to go find someone else now before you damage too much especially if you're not the werkin offensive play caller where they go oh man we don't have his game plans anymore like all right Dan Dan Quinn at least gave himself some fodder I'm not calling defensive plays so the defense struggles not on I've seen that story before yeah so yeah so we'll see uh we'll see when the first strike uh you know pass whizzes by uh their their their their ear who's got the hottest of hot seats in your opinion keep it in the division I'm going Nick serani just because we're just talking about coordinators and maybe you know human meat Shields we've already seen some offensive coordinator change and defensive coordinator change and special team changes with the staff usually that means the head coach is next and I think this Eagles team that I still think is has a chance to make the playoffs and everything it's just again it's that empty calorie stuff that I come back to where it's just that what he's been asked already it's like all right what are you doing here Nick if we're having all these inconsistencies isn't that a reflection on you as the head coach if you're not calling plays he's kind of he doesn't have much influence on the offense and we're also getting into a source off already which has just been we haven't played a game yet and we're already getting into anonymous source offs so that's why we're picking a couple teams here with the Dan Quinn going like they had a source off with that and the Ben Johnson now with serani and stuff it's so it just they already feel like they're starting shaky and I feel hoe Roseman runs that team he's going to always make sure he runs that team so that leads me to serrian on Shaky Ground even if they have a decent season and even if there if there's a Bobby slowick a Ben John that's on the coaching Market I think teams like the commanders like the eagles especially if you the Young quarterback that were looking at that next offensive Guru kind of head coach before they inevitably get snatched up by another team looking for a new head coach Gojo hottest seats for you let's make it three for three in the NFC East this year scary hours here for Mike McCarthy I mean listen it's it's set up like the quarterback situation where you're walking into this season with one year left on a deal they decided not to renew Jerry Jones Maverick at the helm of this entire ship and knowing that just winning 12 games is not good enough like I think that's the other part is it's sort of like in college when we would see coaches like Les Miles get fired at LSU for winning Mark Rick at Georgia fired for winning nine 10 games a year because you're not beating Nick Savin in Alabama when you're Dallas and Jerry standard in his mind even if it's not reflected by the current team is we're supposed to be winning in the playoffs and winning Super Bowls and that's not happening you're a long removed from that conversation about how Mike McCarthy spent all offseason learning analytics to get Jerry Jones to fall in love with him again and so I think yeah all of the signs have been sent that it's kind of this year and then we'll reassess everything about the current core for the Dallas Cowboys I felt like everything hit for them last year and then they still couldn't get over that hump it it's like everything was Tyron Smith was healthy it's like okay that's a good sign here we go and they still just couldn't get there and so it's just and obviously you read the numbers read the money if you're not getting renewed that's what we call lame duck coach so that's yeah it's with a uh even if the Jerry Jones has given head coaches time before kind of just like still feels a little dicey this year and it gets to a point when you're winning 10 11 12 games this season that's great but then it gets to a certain point where that's not enough okay we went 12 and five but we lost in the Wild Card round of the playoffs like that's not good enough for us anymore we need to take that next step
