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.

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)

Butler Bulldogs vs. DePaul Blue Demons Pick & Prediction JANUARY 20th 2024

by

|

Butler and DePaul occupy two of the bottom three spots in the Big East standings, so Saturday’s meeting between the host Bulldogs and Blue Demons gives one school a chance at much-needed forward momentum. Given the way Butler (11-7, 2-5 Big East) and DePaul (3-14, 0-6) have struggled to maintain a rhythm, the game in Indianapolis figures to see its share of ebbs and flows. “That’s what we’re lacking right now,” Bulldogs coach Thad Matta … more
