Right now, there is no single, definitive public number for “how many coaches were fired in the NFL” unless the season and role (head coaches vs. coordinators, GMs, etc.) are specified, and live “Black Monday” and carousel updates are still in flux for early January 2026.

Clarifying the question

To give a precise number, these details are needed:

  • Which season? For example, 2023, 2024, or the just-finished 2025 season.
  • Which roles? Only head coaches, or also coordinators and general managers.
  • Which timing?
    • During the regular season
    • “Black Monday” and immediate aftermath
    • Full coaching cycle through the offseason

Different outlets track different scopes: some list only head coaches; others include coordinators and front office moves, which changes the total.

What current reports show

From recent coverage and tracking pieces:

  • Several NFL teams created new head coach openings for 2025–26, with firings such as Jonathan Gannon (Cardinals), Brian Callahan (Titans), Pete Carroll (Raiders), and Kevin Stefanski (Browns), among others.
  • Lists that lump together head coaches, coordinators, and GMs show a much higher total of “coaches fired” league‑wide than head-coach-only lists for the same season.

Because the current carousel is still unfolding as of early January 2026, any fixed “total coaches fired” number for this cycle would be incomplete and likely to change.

How to get the exact number you want

If you specify something like:

  • “How many head coaches were fired after the 2025 NFL season , including in‑season firings and Black Monday?”

then the relevant lists and live trackers can be matched to that scope to count a concrete total.
