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.

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)

That’s not the case so much with Utah, which could receive its first challenge of the season when taking on Wake Forest on Thursday night in the nightcap of the opening round of the Charleston Classic in Charleston, S.C.
