6 NFL coaches who could be fired in 2024: Robert Saleh, Mike Vrabel join Bill Belichick, Ron Rivera and more

Black Monday is coming. It won’t be quiet.

The first day of the offseason for the NFL’s non-playoff teams is, traditionally, the end of the road for a handful of struggling head coaches each year. In 2023 — a year already defined by three in-season firings — it could produce a bushel of grim headlines for rebuilding teams and once-proud franchises.

There could be as many as nine teams, more than a quarter of the league, looking for new full-time head coaches in January. The names on the chopping block include a few of the guys we’d at least kinda/sorta expected last year and a handful of the NFL’s most respected sideline generals. So who might wind up getting fired and who’ll definitely be moving on?

Let’s run down Black Monday’s list of candidates, ranging from least to most likely to be get go.
