"In July last year, Sportsbetting.ag published the odds on which NFL head coach would be fired first in 2025. That dubious distinction ended up going to Brian Callahan in Tennessee who took the honors in 2025. At the time the odds were published, Brian Daboll of the Giants was listed as the most likely head coach to be fired first, but ended up being second. His firing may end up biting the Giants twice every year as he's interviewing for the Eagles OC position."
"From this list, it looks like the preseason odds were a good early indicator of what would eventually happen during and after the season. The obvious surprise on this list is Pete Carrol, who went to Vegas with high expectations but managed to win only three games. The Cowboys stumbled to their second seven-win season in two years. It's hard to imagine that the Cowboys would accept another such disappointing season, regardless of the circumstances."
Black Monday left nine NFL teams searching for new head coaches. Sportsbetting.ag released July odds on which head coach would be fired first, and Brian Callahan of Tennessee matched that outcome by being dismissed first in 2025. Brian Daboll of the Giants was the early favorite and finished second, and his firing coincides with interviews for the Eagles offensive coordinator role. Preseason betting lines served as a reasonable early indicator of later firings overall. Pete Carrol’s unexpected three-win season was a notable surprise. The Cowboys’ second seven-win year raised questions about Brian Schottenheimer’s job security and expectations for 2026.
