Analysis & key factors
- First NFL head coach fired odds favor Brian Daboll from the Giants.
- Dolphins’ Mike McDaniel is the second, and Shane Steichen is third.
- Bengals’ Zac Taylor is +900 to be the first NFL HC fired.
The NFL season didn’t even start, and there’s already a list of the head coaches who are awfully close to being fired.
First NFL Head Coach Fired Odds
| Head Coach | Odds |
|---|---|
| Brian Daboll | +400 |
| Mike McDaniel | +500 |
| Shane Steichen | +600 |
| Kevin Stefanski | +700 |
| Dave Canales | +750 |
| Jonathan Gannon | +800 |
| Zac Taylor | +900 |
First NFL Head Coach Fired Favorites
The first name on the list is the New York Giants’ Brian Daboll. The 2022 NFL Coach of the Year is pretty close to ending his stint in the Big Apple. The Giants are in ruins, and the team needs to make radical changes. Drafting Abdul Carter is one, and the next… that’ll probably be a new quarterback and a new head coach.

Miami has Tua and Tyreek Hill. And they aren’t playing a major role in their division, let alone conference. No matter the circumstances, Mike McDaniel is under heavy pressure and if the Fins don’t start well, that’s it for this guy.

Colts’ Shane Steichen and Browns’ Kevin Stefanski are just behind. The latter was a two-time NFL Coach of the Year winner, the last time in 2023, yet that simply doesn’t matter now.
Zac Taylor? Longshot?
The Bengals were opening their recent campaigns pretty slowly and with plenty of troubles. If that happens again, there is a huge chance that Zac Taylor might get fired. Cinci has an elite talent, and the management won’t put up with poor results and failures. That Super Bowl appearance he had won’t save him anymore.
Therefore, at +900, this is could be a good longshot. Why not try for some small stake?
