Is Bill Belichick the next NFL head coach to be shown the door? (Photo by Maddie Meyer/Getty Images)
Three NFL head coaches haven’t been retained for next season. Could Bill Belichick be the next one to go? The Las Vegas Raiders’ Josh McDaniels, the Carolina Panthers’ Frank Reich, and the Los Angeles Chargers’ Brandon Staley have all been fired this season. Two general managers, the Raiders’ Dave Ziegler and the Chargers’ Tom Telesco, have also lost their jobs.
These are just the first casualties of what is shaping up to be one of the toughest times of the NFL calendar, known as “Black Monday.”
Who else is at risk of losing their jobs? Chicago Bears head coach Matt Eberflus’ position seems to be getting shakier by the week. The Washington Commanders head coach Ron Rivera has given the franchise’s new ownership little reason to keep him around for another year.
Even a legend like Bill Belichick is reportedly not returning as head coach of the New England Patriots.
