4 NFL Coaches that Should be Fired, Right Now!

I know people have a tendency to jump the gun when it comes to firing a Head Coach at any level of Football, but there are four men coaching in the NFL who deserve to be fired immediately. Today, we will look at those four men.

4. Dennis Allen, New Orleans Saints

Dennis Allen was appointed interim head coach in hopes that Sean Payton would return from his leave of absence. However, that did not materialize, and so Allen continued with this “era.” Now we’re into year three, and it has proven disastrous for this program and its players.

Yes, Derek Carr’s injury has hampered the team, yet that alone shouldn’t excuse Allen’s lackluster coaching performance as Saints head coach. With 18-24 wins in three years as head coach at New Orleans – and total overall coaching records that stand at 26-52!

New Orleans could simply remain stagnant, but to see meaningful improvement, the head coach must be changed to usher in a new era.

3. Doug Pederson, Jacksonville Jaguars

Oh no, the Jaguars found yet another way to lose a close game.

In their 30-27 loss against the Green Bay Packers, the Jaguars had every tool necessary for an unlikely comeback victory in their hands. Trevor Lawrence rallied from a lousy fumble to lead his team downfield and tie the game with less than one minute left despite not having his top three wideouts available.

All this meant nothing, as backup quarterback Malik Willis found Jayden Reed open in the red zone within three plays – before kneeling it out until game-winner field goal kicking time arrived.

I find the Jaguars’ ability to find ways of losing genuinely remarkable and a testament to poor coaching. Their defense has completely collapsed this week – especially their run defense – while the offense struggled from slow starts before eventually finding its groove by halftime against New England. Coach Pederson seems disengaged while coaching staff lacks accountability with an ambitious schedule including Eagles, Vikings and Lions looming ahead for Jacksonville.

At this point, it’s not a question of “if” but “when.”

2. Mike McCarthy, Dallas Cowboys

Since Jerry Jones lost patience after watching his Dallas Cowboys lose to the Green Bay Packers in the playoffs last season, most predicted he would fire everyone and offer Bill Belichick anything to come to Dallas. But this has yet to happen.

Instead, Jones showed some patience with Mike McCarthy and kept his team intact for another run.

At some point, patience will wear thin. On Sunday night’s loss against the San Francisco 49ers, Dallas dropped to 3-4 on the season, three games behind the Washington Commanders for first place in the NFC East.

The Cowboys may still make a run at returning to the playoffs, although chances seem slim given what we’ve seen this season from this team. With five of six division games remaining (two against Eagles and two against Commanders – teams currently ahead in NFC East) remaining on their schedule, such a move may still be feasible, but do you have confidence that such a run can materialize?

Jones will likely lose patience quickly should the situation not improve.

1. Zach Taylor, Cincinnati Bengals

Sure, Zach Taylor helped lead the Bengals to the Super Bowl, and that’s a testament to how good Joe Burrow and the defense was a few years ago. When Taylor got the job, he was not qualified, and he has proven it in every sense. The Bengals did not earn the right to draft Burrow and Chase; they lost a lot to get them, and now, as they have let important players leave like Joe Mixon, DJ Reader, Jessie Bates, and the list can go on, this team has descended, back to anonymity.

The Owner is cheap. He just is; he is nowhere to be found when things go wrong. Over the last few years, the narrative has been that his daughter was running the team, and the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. While the Bengals are pushing for a taxpayer-funded billion-dollar stadium renovation, they have forgotten that they need to rebuild the team that has let tons of talent get away.

The Bengals six-man scouting staff delivers bust after bust draft picks, including the legendary Myles Murphy. Zach Taylor when he finally does get fired will never be an NFL Head Coach again, that simple fact should make the Bengals fire him. The Owner, Mike Brown, is a man nobody wants to play for. They have added the King of the Jungle and a Bengals ring of honor, which should have been done much sooner than they were. But as the old saying goes, it’s like putting lipstick on a pig.

Bengals fans have shown over the last few years that they deserve better than this, but Ownership is unqualified to do anything about it. Ownership is just getting rich off the hopes and dreams of fans. The way it’s going, Joe Burrow will soon sound like Carson Palmer. They probably won’t fire Zach, but he deserves to be.
