NFL Coaching Hot Seat Rankings: Todd Bowles Could Soon Be Out; Nick Sirianni Next?

  • Houston Texans — 0-4 and suddenly stalled: C.J. Stroud hasn’t progressed, the defense has slipped, and DeMeco Ryans is likely facing major staff changes as the QB window narrows.
  • Los Angeles Chargers — also 0-4; Jim Harbaugh is under heat as Justin Herbert regresses and the Harbaugh/Mike McDaniel pairing hasn’t worked, making a disastrous start look possible.
  • Tampa Bay Buccaneers — 0-4 and offensive trainwreck, now with Baker Mayfield injured; Todd Bowles is dangerously close to being on the hot seat if wins don’t come soon.
