We’re nine weeks into the season and the list of NFL head coaches who have been fired is now two. That included Carolina Panthers head man Matt Rhule getting his walking papers after Week 5 with former Indianapolis Colts head coach Frank Reich fired following an ugly Week 9 loss.

With that said, there’s other coaches who find themselves firmly on the hot seat now that we’re roughly half way through the regular season. Below, we look at several NFL head coaches who are on the hot seat and we’re they stand right now.

NFL head coaches with hot seats set afire

Kliff Kingsbury, Arizona Cardinals

Gross. That’s the best way to describe how Arizona has performed down the stretch during Kingsbury’s pedestrian tenure in the desert. The Cards are 7-15 in December and January under the head coach. Last season saw Arizona lose six of its final 10 games after starting the campaign with a 7-0 mark. It’s led to some rivals questioning Kingsbury as a head coach in the pros.

Even after defeating the New Orleans Saints in Week 7, there’s no guarantee that Kingsbury’s job is safe. We’re talking about a 3-6 squad that continues to invest heavily in its roster. The experiment with Kyler Murray and the head coach’s own relationship with his quarterback has now been placed under a microscope.

Now in the midst of a two-game losing streak, Arizona finds itself three games behind the Seattle Seahawks in the NFC West. It’s been a complete disaster in the desert. One now has to wonder whether Kingsbury will be one of the next NFL head coaches fired despite signing an extension this past offseason.

Josh McDaniels, Las Vegas Raiders

Just brutal. Las Vegas’ 24-0 shutout loss to the New Orleans Saints back in Week 8 pretty much had this team down and out. It then went into Jacksonville and took a 17-0 first-half lead against the Jaguars on Sunday before blowing the game. This represents the third time in 2022 that the Raiders have lost a game in which they led by 17-plus points. That’s on the coaching as much as it’s on the players.

With all of that said, Raiders owner Mark Davis has given McDaniels a vote of confidence as he struggles in his second stint as an NFL head coach.

“Josh McDaniels is our head coach and will be for years to come,” Raiders owner Mark Davis on McDaniels’ job status, via the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

That’s all fine and dandy. But things need to change here and in short order. More embarrassing performances could in fact have McDaniels be one and done in Sin City. After all, he’s now 4-13 as a head coach in his past 17 games dating back to his stint with the Denver Broncos. That’s not going to cut it.
