"The end of the NFL regular season is traditionally followed by a string of head coaching departures as those teams who failed to reach the playoffs assess their respective campaigns. And plenty have decided to make significant changes this Monday after the end of the 2025 season for 18 teams. Here we round up the major moves from what has come to be known as 'Black Monday'."
"The Cardinals dispensed with the services of head coach Jonathan Gannon after three seasons at the helm. Following an encouraging 8-9 season in 2024, the Cardinals finished 2025 with a 3-14 record, losing 13 of their final 14 games after a 2-0 start. General manager Monti Ossenfort keeps his job, and will need to resolve the future of quarterback Kyler Murray in addition to finding a new head coach. Former first overall pick Murray played just five games this season due to injury."
"The Atlanta Falcons got a head start on the rest as they fired head coach Raheem Morris and general manager Terry Fontenot following their 8-9 season. It was a second successive 8-9 campaign for Morris, though the Falcons finishing in a tie for first place in the NFC South was deceptive, as they reeled off four successive wins to end the season having already suffered elimination."
Four NFL head coaches were dismissed following the 2025 regular season amid a series of Black Monday departures affecting 18 teams. The Arizona Cardinals removed Jonathan Gannon after three seasons following a 3-14 finish and lengthy losing streak; general manager Monti Ossenfort remains in position and must address Kyler Murray’s future after Murray played only five games due to injury. The Atlanta Falcons fired head coach Raheem Morris and general manager Terry Fontenot after an 8-9 season and consecutive near-misses. The Cleveland Browns parted ways with Kevin Stefanski after a 5-12 campaign and successive losing seasons tied to the Deshaun Watson trade.
