NFL Coaches Fired in 2024NFL Coach Fired OddsFavorites To Be Fired FirstWhich NFL Coach Will Be Fired First?NFL Black Monday The NFL coaching carousel refers to the comings and goings of head coaches in the league. Typically, it’s due to head coaches being fired for not meeting the expectations of the front office or the owner. Last year, we saw eight coaches get axed during and after the season. This year, we’ve already seen two head coaches get axed and there are plenty more on the proverbial hot seat. Heading into the 2024-24 NFL season, New Orleans Saints head coach Dennis Allen (+275) was the odds-on favorite to get fired first. However, the New York Jets canned Robert Saleh (+900)

Nebraska has shown it’s a legitimate contender that can match up with the very best in the Big Ten Conference. Now coach Fred Hoiberg is seeking consistency when his Cornhuskers visit Rutgers on Wednesday in Piscataway, N.J. Nebraska (13-4, 3-3 Big Ten) became just the second team to beat Purdue, ranked No. 1 at the time, when the Cornhuskers rained 14 3-pointers on the Boilermakers in an 88-72 home win on Jan. 9.

Vanderbilt Commodores vs. Auburn Tigers Pick & Prediction JANUARY 17th 2024

by

|

Amid a span in which upsets have been the talk of the college basketball world, No. 13 Auburn has bucked the trend during a nine-game winning streak. The Tigers (14-2, 3-0 Southeastern Conference) haven’t faced a ranked team during that span. But given that seven of the AP’s top 10 teams lost to unranked opponents last week (No. 2 Houston did it twice), Auburn’s recent run — no team has come within single digits of … more
