It happens every year, and sometimes it isn’t truly justified. As famously said by Jerry Glanville, NFL stands for Not For Long, and while Glanville was speaking about the referees making poor calls, this also could be true in reference to head coaches.
You can bet on at least one coach not making it through the regular season. I mean, you can literally place a bet on which NFL coach will be the first one fired this season. Check out the most recent odds, per OddsShark:
