Allen was the latest victim of the Carolina Reaper. This affectionate nickname has been given to Panthers quarterback Bryce Young. He hasn't had much success early in his professional career, but Young leading improbable wins led to several coaches losing their jobs with Allen being the most recent.

Even though owner Robert Kraft quickly decided to fire Jerod Mayo after the Patriots finished 4-13 and last in the AFC East for the second straight year, Kraft made sure to emphasize that he believed Mayo could be a successful NFL head coach.

The Jacksonville Jaguars announced on Monday that they have fired head coach Doug Pederson after a disappointing 2024 season.

With six head coach openings the interviews are coming fast and furious. We’re tracking them all here There are five NFL teams who are officially in the hunt for their next head coach. The shared DNA of these organizations isn’t simply bad play,
