Several NFL head coaches have already been fired around “Black Monday” and during the 2025 season, with more possible as searches continue into early 2026.

Latest head coaches fired

Here are the key head coaches who were fired recently (in-season and on/around Black Monday after the 2025 regular season):

  • Pete Carroll – Las Vegas Raiders
    • Fired after the 2025 season following a 3–14 year in his first season with the team.
  • Raheem Morris – Atlanta Falcons
    • Fired after finishing 8–9 for a second straight year; the team also moved on from GM Terry Fontenot.
  • Kevin Stefanski – Cleveland Browns
    • Two-time AP Coach of the Year who was fired after six seasons, following a 5–11 finish in 2025.
  • Jonathan Gannon – Arizona Cardinals
    • Fired after a 3–14 season, with the team collapsing late and finishing with one of the league’s worst records.
  • Brian Callahan – Tennessee Titans
    • First in-season firing of 2025; let go in October after a 1–5 start and a 4–19 overall record with Tennessee.
  • Brian Daboll – New York Giants
    • Fired in November 2025 after a 2–8 start in his fourth season, ending with a 20‑40‑1 record overall.

These moves created a new round of openings and restarted the NFL “coaching carousel” heading into the 2026 offseason.

Why this is a trending topic

  • The question “which NFL coaches were fired” is trending every year around Black Monday , when teams quickly dismiss coaches after the regular season ends.
  • Fans on forums and social media are debating whether some of these firings were overdue (like struggling teams with repeated losing seasons) or premature (such as coaches who had earlier success but hit a rough patch).

Context and what’s next

  • More changes are still possible as interviews progress and teams evaluate their front offices, so this list may expand as the 2026 hiring cycle unfolds.
  • Coordinators and general managers have also been fired across the league, reflecting broader resets in organizations that underperformed in 2025.
