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)

Considering Illinois thrashed Rutgers by 18 in the Dec. 2 Big Ten opener for both teams on the Scarlet Knights’ home floor, it’s tempting to expect a repeat when No. 14 Illinois hosts Sunday’s rematch. But that would ignore the changes on both teams’ rosters. Rutgers (10-7, 2-4) did not have senior forward Mawot Mag, who has averaged 11.4 points and 5.1 rebounds and served as his team’s best defensive player since returning from a … more
