ESPN: 'Expectation' is More Than 5 NFL Head Coaches Will be Fired This Season

It is not a particularly good time to be an NFL head coach.

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported the "expectation" around the league is that more coaches will be fired than last season's total of five.

Chicago Bears coach Matt Eberflus has the hottest seat at the moment. The Bears are a paltry 3-17 over the course of his tenure, and Justin Fields has shown no progress developing into a quality NFL quarterback.

Los Angeles Chargers coach Brandon Staley likely would have been right next to Eberflus at the top of the hot-seat rankings if it weren't for last week's narrow win over the Minnesota Vikings.
