Two NFL head coaches have already been fired this season. Who else could possibly be in the recent seat?

After a 23-22 loss to the struggling Carolina Panthers that prolonged their losing streak to seven games, the New Orleans Saints fired head coach Dennis Allen on Monday.

Allen followed Robert Saleh, formerly of the New York Jets, because the second head coach to be fired this season. Allen compiled an 18-25 record in 2 1/2 seasons in New Orleans. It is the second time in his profession that he didn’t survive his third season on the helm of a team. In 2014, the Oakland Raiders released Allen just 4 games into his third yr with them. For his head coaching profession, Allen has a 26-53 record.

Allen won't be the last NFL head coach to be fired this season. In nine weeks of motion, nine of the NFL's 32 teams have managed just two wins each. Fifteen teams have losing records.

Time passes quickly and without sudden rebounds, a few of these losing teams will likely follow the Jets and Saints' lead and switch their attention to the longer term.

Here's a have a look at the coaches who look like on the recent seat because the second half of the NFL regular season begins.

Jacksonville's stunning decline continues. Pederson and his team appear headed toward double-digit losses just two seasons after winning the AFC South and reaching the divisional round of the playoffs, where they lost 27-20 to the Kansas City Chiefs.

Pederson and the Jaguars went 1-1 on their trip to London in Weeks 6 and seven, but returned to the United States and promptly lost games to Green Bay and Philadelphia. Trevor Lawrence's regression continues, Jacksonville's defense gave up greater than 400 yards on Sunday for the fifth time this season and the Jaguars are minus-7 within the turnover department (third-worst yards). Next? A house game against the 6-2 Minnesota Vikings, followed by a visit to the 7-1 Detroit Lions. It appears to be a matter of when, not if owner Shad Khan will pull the plug again.

A yr after Pierce took over for a struggling Josh McDaniels midseason and led the Raiders to a powerful 5-4 finish, the previous linebacker appears to have already lost his talent. Game management is a giant challenge for the brand new head coach. He has flopped quarterback twice now, firing offensive coordinator Luke Getsy, offensive line coach James Cregg and quarterbacks coach Rich Scangarello on Sunday after just nine games on the team.

This roster isn't well constructed, but Pierce seems overwhelmed. It could be a surprise if he made it to second grade. If he doesn't make it, control former Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel this offseason, who has a detailed relationship with recent Raiders minority owner Tom Brady. Vrabel is now a coach and recruiter for the Cleveland Browns.

Kevin Stefanski, Cleveland Browns (2-7)

Deshaun Watson's failure to regain his prowess on the sector was apparently only a part of Cleveland's problems. The Browns have regressed on almost every front in 2024. Every week after Jameis Winston caused the Baltimore Ravens' upset, the Browns bounced back with a 27-10 loss to the LA Chargers. Before that win over Baltimore, Stefanski turned the sport over to Ken Dorsey, but three turnovers and a sputtering rushing attack kept the Browns in check against the Chargers. Meanwhile, their defense also continues to be subpar.

The Browns managed a second-half playoff lead last season with a backup quarterback (Joe Flacco), but that seems highly unlikely this yr. Watson is out for the remaining of the season with an Achilles tendon injury, but given the Browns' obvious commitment to him despite his issues, they may go for a training change.

Team owner John Mara said last month that he stays loyal to Daboll and general manager Joe Schoen, but as Daniel Jones' ineptitude continues and losses proceed to mount, it's hard to assume him sticking with that stance. Especially because running back Saquon Barkley (the one who escaped) delivered breathtaking highlights shortly afterwards with the Philadelphia Eagles.

Jerry Jones continues to say he’s committed to McCarthy, but McCarthy stays a poor coach and his team underperforms in virtually every phase of the sport. Jones has opened the checkbook for Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb, however the Cowboys' offense has deteriorated and things are only going to worsen with Prescott now out for several weeks with a hamstring injury. However, with or without Prescott, McCarthy lacks the innovation to repair this. As the embarrassment and loss proceed to mount, one has to wonder how rather more of this Jones can take.

He began the season on thin ice, but Eberflus hoped Caleb Williams could lead on a revival in Chicago. Instead, the coach faces one other bumpy season that may likely end badly. A shaky start was preceded by some encouraging developments and a three-game winning streak. But then got here the embarrassing Hail Mary loss in Washington, followed by Sunday's poor performance against Arizona – a game during which the Bears didn’t rating a touchdown despite Williams and a talented collection of offensive players. Eberflus appears to be losing control of the team as his players show signs of lack of discipline and professionalism. Hope is fading within the Windy City, and Eberflus could also be running out of time and excuses.

Of course, these coaches should not alone of their disappointing work. Things haven't exactly gone well this season for Mike McDaniel of the Miami Dolphins (2-6), Jerod Mayo of the New England Patriots (2-7), Dave Canales of the Carolina Panthers (2-7) or the Tennessee Titans.” Brian Callahan (2-6).

It looks like McDaniel is getting the benefit of the doubt, considering his team's issues may be tied to Tua Tagovailoa's four-game absence due to a concussion. If there's anyone hot in Miami, it might be general manager Chris Grier, who has failed to find an adequate replacement for Miami's injury-prone starting quarterback. Had Grier given McDaniel a serviceable veteran, the Dolphins might have been able to tread water until Tagovailoa returned.

Meanwhile, David Tepper will likely give Canales more time despite firing Frank Reich after just 11 games last season. If Bryce Young can build on the success of Sunday's win, Canales, Young and the Panthers could enter the offseason with some optimism. Given that Robert Kraft personally handpicked Mayo as the Patriots' future coach near the end of Bill Belichick's legendary tenure, it appears the former New England linebacker will be given additional time to develop into his role as the Patriots take over Drake Maye continues to strengthen the squad. The same goes for Callahan, who oversees a roster that is in the midst of a rebuild and needs a better starting quarterback than Will Levis before he can truly showcase his coaching abilities.
