2025 NFL Coaches on the hot seat & Front Office changes (2 Viewers)

The Athletic's Dan Duggan said barring "a dramatic second-half turnaround, the Giants will likely be in the market for a new general manager." 

Another losing season will likely force the Giants' hand with Gettleman, whose fate has been tied to underachieving QB Daniel Jones since the team used the sixth overall pick in the 2019 draft to land Jones. Per Duggan, Jones in 2021 is 25th in completion percentage, 25th in passing yards per game, 25th in touchdown passes, 26th in yards per attempt, 24th in passer rating, 25th in QB rating, 25th in DVOA, and 23rd in EPA. By nearly every measure, he has been among the league's worst quarterbacks. More importantly for fantasy purposes, there could be "intrigue" this offseason in the potential replacement of offensive coordinator Jason Garrett, whose stale offense has barely improved from last year's disastrous performance. A creative OC could mean big things for Saquon Barkley, Kadarius Toney, Sterling Shepard, and the rest of the fantasy-relevant Giants in 2022.

Giants head coach Joe Judge wouldn't commit to keeping Jason Garrett as the team's offensive coordinator after New York's Monday night loss to the Bucs. 

Asked following the Giants' humiliating 30-10 Monday night loss to Tampa if he would keep Garrett as the team's OC, Judge said, "I'm not going to get into that right now." Judge has been asked this question frequently over the past two seasons of offensive futility, and he's always been quick to affirm his support for Garrett. That wasn't the case on Monday night, when the Giants mustered a single touchdown with most of their starters back from injury. The Daniel Jones-led New York offense was once again an embarrassment in the two minute drill, operating as if they had never prepared for situations that require offensive urgency. Garrett's offense -- the second worst in 2020 -- averages the tenth fewest yards per game and the eighth fewest points. The Giants are the only NFL team that hasn’t scored 30 offensive points since the start of the 2020 season. They committed to mediocrity when they kept Garrett as offensive coordinator. Now Judge might have to make an awkward mid-season firing.

Worst kept secret ever - enough so that it makes me question accuracy. Why would a team do/communicate a coach firing in advance? What if Chicago wins 35-7?

I think they should just rip the band aid off, though I get the problems with turning over head coaching duties for a Thanksgiving day game with only three days prep.  But at this stage they have enough data to go on regarding Nagy’s competence as a head coach.  (Answer:  none) They could win 63-0 against Detroit and they should be moving on ASAP.

I get that, but what good is he standing on the sidelines for a Thanksgiving game, knowing he's essentially already fired. There's value in having him there as the leader of the game?

 
Giants fired OC Jason Garrett.

Only the Jets (1.42) and Jaguars (1.54) have averaged fewer points per drive than the Giants (1.60) under Garrett since 2020, ranking stone-last in the NFL with 42 offensive touchdowns in that time and mustering season-lows in points, yards (215), first downs (15) and time of possession (24:21) on Monday night against the Bucs. It was a poor hiring from the beginning as Dave Gettleman was literally the only general manager bidding against himself for Garrett's services. Freddie Kitchens, Joe Judge’s senior offensive assistant, is expected to take over play-calling with Garrett gone beginning on Sunday against the Eagles. It remains to be seen who Joe Judge will scapegoat next for his own poor coaching with Garrett no longer around to blame.

The New York Post's Ryan Dunleavy expects Freddie Kitchens to be named the Giants interim offensive coordinator. 

New York fired Jason Garrett on Tuesday following yet another terrible offensive showing, and Kitchens is the obvious in-house replacement. Kitchens had a memorably bad season as head coach of the Browns, but he earned that job on the back of a successful run coordinating Cleveland's offense down the stretch in 2018. Ultimately, this seems like a positive development for Daniel Jones, Saquon Barkley, and the rest of the offense.

Bears coach Matt Nagy said the report that he will be fired following Week 12 against the Lions is "not accurate."

"That is not accurate," Nagy refuted. "I had great communication with ownership." A report from a suburban website caused a frenzy Tuesday morning in claiming that Bears chairman George McCaskey had already informed Nagy that he would be fired following Thursday's game against the Lions. For what it's worth, the McCaskey family has never fired a head coach in-season across a century of ownership. Sitting at 3-7 this year, Nagy goes into the Lions game with a 31-27 overall record including 19-23 over the last three seasons.

No, I don’t think so.  They should’ve canned his ### weeks ago.  I’m sure they didn’t anticipate this news leaking like it did prior to the Thanksgiving game day if this is truly the decision they’ve come to.

Oh my. I couldn't believe that when I read it. I know Baker had a good relationship his first year, but jeebus. Didn't that guy call that infamous draw play on like 4th and ten near midfield? Stopped way short, too. 

I was going to LOL, but I know Giants fans and like them. What a disturbing hire for the Giants.

Trying to think of the best metaphor. Maybe if your divorced mom told you she was finally breaking up with that d-bag boyfriend that you hate, only to immediately shack up with an even bigger loser? I feel like there's probably a better one we could come up with.

I suppose if you're a Giants fan, the consolation is that this just increases the possibility that they will clean house top to bottom at the end of the season. Gettleman is obviously gone, but if the new guy comes in would there be any reason for him to keep Judge around?

I can't help you with the metaphor and cannot help you with your more serious question involving tea leaves and how the Giants are going to react to this year in terms of front office and management personnel. I just don't know what the ownership group is thinking at this point, really. Nothing would surprise me.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports Giants GM Dave Gettleman "is likely in his last year with the team."

The Giants have yet to post a season with more than six wins during the Gettleman regime and that doesn't look like to change this year. They are currently in last place in the NFC East with a 3-7 record. New York has two first-round picks next year, a second-year head coach, and a young quarterback. They have plenty of decisions to make as a franchise so getting a new shot-caller at the helm before those bridges are crossed makes sense. At 70 years old, Gettleman will likely retire following his departure from New York.

Texans general manager Nick Caserio said he's "not going to make any comment on what's happening after the season" when asked whether head coach David Culley would be back in 2022. 

It's not exactly the most jarring non-comment considering the sad state of the franchise and the uncertain future of everyone in the Texans organization. Culley, 65, a long-time assistant coach who stunningly got the job last January, has next to no chance of returning for a second year as head coach. Houston is dead last in yards per game and points per game, while giving up the third most points per game. It's hardly Culley's fault: Houston is the least talented team in the NFL, with some starters who would be practice squad players with most teams. With little hope for a quick turnaround, the franchise will likely be mired in a years-long rebuild that will not include Culley.

Bills head coach Sean McDermott said the team's offense would have to "figure it out" after their Week 13 loss to the Patriots. 

On a wildly windy and frigid night, the Bills generated 230 yards (four yards per play) and ten points, with a single field goal in the second half. "I don't think, honestly, we took advantage of opportunities tonight, I really don't," McDermott told reporters after the game. "We were one for four in the red zone. We have to figure that part of it out." Offensive coordinator Brian Daboll's red-hot 2020 offense has curdled in 2021, along with every other productive NFL offense, hampered by coverages designed to stop downfield plays. The Bills are averaging about 20 fewer yards per game and 3.5 fewer points per game than they were in 2020. Daboll's job is likely safe from the remainder of 2021, but McDermott's dissatisfaction about Daboll's offense will be something to watch at season's end.

David Culley seems like the most lame hire of all-time. What exactly is this guy known for? I hope Culley took the job only for a guaranteed contract because it is flat out Jim Tomsula level 

 
The Athletic's Joseph Person cited Panthers team sources who "believe" head coach Matt Rhule will return for the 2022 season. 

It's always possible a catastrophic end to the 2021 season could change Carolina owner David Tepper's calculus on whether to stick with Rhule for a third season. Person mentioned that Tepper "has shown he’s willing to cut his losses and paper over his mistakes." Rhule's first two years as Carolina's head coach have been forgettable bordering on disastrous, as the team flails left and right searching for a viable quarterback. Rhule, who's 10-20 since taking over as Carolina's head coach, has five more years left on the seven-year, $62 million contract he signed in January 2020. The 2022 season would likely be Rhule's last shot to show he can lead the fledging Carolina franchise for years to come.

Put Jack del Rio, DC Washington, back on this list. 42 points yielded in 1st half, defensive linemen in fistfights on sidelines -- he's lost control.

Rivera standing stone faced as his team fights themselves and they get whomped by a division arch rival on national TV when they were still in the playoff hunt looks awful too. Don’t get me wrong, Snyder can’t do better than Rivera and the next coach would be back to the Zorn-type dark ages. But if Rivera doesn’t figure out QB and somehow end up with a top 10 guy at the position he’s doomed. It’s the only thing that will ever allow him to look better than average—his 1980’s style of “play defense and have a running game” team-building dream is dead and he doesn’t seem to know it. Nice guy and people around the league like him but without a QB he’s toast, like most coaches. 

 
Jaguars will retain general manager Trent Baalke. 

Assembling one of the worst rosters in the NFL isn't enough for Jaguars owner Shad Khan to move on from Baalke a year after promoting him to general manager at the urging of disgraced former head coach Urban Meyer. Taking Trevor Lawrence with the first pick in the 2021 NFL Draft did little to improve the team's long-struggling offense, and the Jags lack a difference-making pass catcher. Jacksonville's no-name defense has probably exceeded expectations this season and they're still among the league's worst. No matter who the team hires as its next head coach, they're years away from competing.
