1. Hot-seat rankings: Eight coaches on shaky ground

Every year, the NFL coaching ranks turn over, and 2024 was no exception. And still there are more than a half-dozen head coaches who enter the new season with debatable job security. Here’s a sampling of our hot-seat candidates, with a look at the top five coaches under pressure:

5. Mike McCarthy (Cowboys): The offense has always hummed fairly well here, but with Dan Quinn no longer overseeing the playmaking defense, all eyes will be on McCarthy, who’s logged a single playoff win in his last six years as a head man.

4. Matt Eberflus (Bears): Ten wins in his first two seasons means there will be pressure to finally sniff the playoff race and/or properly shepherd new quarterback Caleb Williams’ development, one year after Eberflus’ staff endured in-season turnover.

3. Dennis Allen (Saints): In four and a half years as a head man dating back to his time with the Las Vegas Raiders, Allen’s gone just 24-46, even though his current squad has prioritized win-now pieces over long-term rebuilding. It’s probably playoffs or bust for both he and Derek Carr.

2. Brian Daboll (Giants): After exiling strong-willed defensive coordinator Wink Martindale, he’ll be charged with reviving Daniel Jones once more, and securing commitment from a club that hasn’t kept a coach for more than two years since Tom Coughlin.
