2024-25 NFL Coaching Carousel: Which Head Coaches Get Fired Next?
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)

by

|

While Xavier looks to build on perhaps its most impressive win of the season, Big East rival Butler must halt its worst stretch of 2023-24. The Musketeers will try to win back-to-back games for the first time in a month on Tuesday night against the visiting Bulldogs in Cincinnati. It’s been a middling season for Xavier (8-8, 2-3 Big East), which has yet to win more than two straight at any point and is 2-3 … more

Georgia Tech joined the Atlantic Coast Conference for the 1979-80 season, but its history with Clemson goes back decades earlier.

The 145th renewal of the rivalry will come Tuesday night in Clemson, S.C., but this time with a head coach making his rivalry debut. Fresh off a hard-fought, 84-79 loss at then-No.11 Duke on Saturday, first-year Georgia Tech … more

Adebayo has at least 20 points and 10 rebounds in five straight games this … more

It was beginning to look like a lost season when the Utah Jazz were wobbling around and mired in a 7-16 start. Slightly more than a month later, the Jazz are the NBA’s hottest team. Utah aims to stretch its NBA-best winning streak to six games as well as win for the 15th time in 19 games when it hosts the Indiana Pacers on Monday night at Salt Lake City.

Colorado St. Rams vs. Air Force Falcons Pick & Prediction JANUARY 16th 2024

No. 17 Colorado State dropped back-to-back road games last week and the aftermath of each loss featured a similar occurrence. “We got court-stormed twice,” Rams coach Niko Medved said. Now, Colorado State looks to put the disappointing setbacks in the rearview mirror as it hosts Air Force in Mountain West play on Tuesday night at Fort Collins, Colo. Students (and fans) rushed the court at the home venues of Utah State and Boise State after … more
