First NFL coach fired betting favorites
Mike McDaniel (+200)
Mike McDaniel was brought to South Beach to revive the Miami Dolphins — no small task for a franchise that hasn’t won a playoff game in 25 years. Known for his creative offensive mind, McDaniel has delivered mixed results: a 28-25 record over three seasons and losses in both of his playoff appearances. Add injuries to Tua Tagovailoa and off-field distractions involving Tyreek Hill, and it’s clear he hasn’t had much help.
With one of the easiest schedules in the league this year, an early stumble could put McDaniel’s seat on fire.
Brian Daboll (+400)
There’s almost nothing positive to say about Brian Daboll’s tenure with the New York Giants. After a 3-14 season last year, he’s just 18-32 over three seasons.
Letting Saquon Barkley walk stings, but putting your faith in Daniel Jones hurts even more.
If the Giants can’t start fast under Russell Wilson, Daboll’s tenure could be over before November.
Shane Steichen
Speaking of Daniel Jones, he's now the starting quarterback of the Indianapolis Colts, which means Shane Steichen is in a world of trouble.
Steichen has a 17-17 record with the Colts through two seasons, which is just about on par with the Colts franchise in general.
If Jones falters, and Anthony Richardson isn't the QB the franchise thought he was when they drafted him, Steichen could very well be out the door.
