This season, there will be seven new head coaches. That means seven head coaches were replaced since the start of last season.

Last year, there were eight new NFL head coaches. It was five the year before that, and a stunning 10 in 2022.

In other words, it’s inevitable that some of the head coaches at the start of this season will be replaced by the start of the 2026 season. That’s the nature of an impatient league. Here are the seven coaches on the hot seat this season.

Brian Daboll, New York Giants

Brian Callahan, Titans

Zac Taylor, Bengals

Shane Steichen, Colts

Kevin Stefanski, Browns

Mike McDaniel, Dolphins

Dave Canales, Panthers

The New York Jets dropped to 0-5 with a 37-22 loss to the Dallas Cowboys at MetLife Stadium in a game that showcased all that was wrong with Aaron Glenn’s team.

Any notion of the New York Jets winning their first game of the season vanished in a matter of one minute Sunday afternoon at MetLife Stadium.

That’s because they allowed two Dallas Cowboys touchdowns in the final 57 seconds of the first half, burying themselves in too deep of a hole for any chance at a comeback.

Jets QB Justin Fields was sacked five times, Breece Hall fumbled away a key opportunity in the first half, and the Jets offense couldn’t convert on two fourth-and-1 plays, all adding up to a long afternoon in East Rutherford.

The Jets offense was held to six points until the fourth quarter, the offensive line gave up five sacks to a Cowboys defense that, up until then, had no pass rush through the opening month. 10 penalties crippled the Jets.

Justin Fields threw for 283 yards and two touchdowns while running for 26, and Breece Hall rushed for 113. Dak Prescott threw four touchdown passes to continue his MVP-like pace, and the Cowboys ran for 180 yards.

The Giants jumped out to a double-digit lead in New Orleans but then turned the ball over on five consecutive possessions in a 26-14 loss to the Saints, who scored 23 unanswered points. The Giants fell to 1-4.

For a brief moment there, it sure looked like the New York Giants had turned a corner. Jaxson Dart, making his second start, had thrown two touchdown passes to establish an 11-point lead over New Orleans early in the second quarter. 

But he Giants had turnovers in virtually every possible way — gift fumbles, bad-idea interceptions — and could only watch as the Saints ran up five straight scores and 23 straight points.

“Five turnovers to zero,” Giants head coach Brian Daboll said after the game, “you’re not going to win in this league.”

And just like that, the brief flash of hope that ran through the Giants organization flickered and went dark. Dart completed 26 of 40 passes for 202 yards and two touchdowns, but two interceptions were part of the brutal, repeated misfires that cost the Giants the game.
