While coaching hirings and firings are common in the NFL, the frequency of in-season terminations has increased dramatically since 2008, as teams seek to reset quickly.
Ron Rivera succinctly summarized the nature of the profession, saying, "Unless you get a chance to walk away, you're fired," emphasizing the unpredictability of coaching tenures.
Coaches like Matt Nagy, acknowledging the normalcy of being let go in the NFL, emphasized that this is an expected part of the coaching landscape.
The early firings this season—such as Robert Saleh and Dennis Allen—highlight the pressure on teams to succeed urgently and the low tolerance for underperformance.
