Agreed on all those names. Payton always seems like he's one step from the door, and my dad seems to think that Arians might be wearing thin with management despite being loved by the players.
I've also heard Harbaugh might be on a bit of a hotseat if the Ravens tank again, but is he really? He's been dealt a tough hand with injuries so far this season.

I'd say the 4 you mentioned are accurate as of now. One of these days Marvin Lewis' 9 lives will expire.

RIP Fugu
I thought about putting Gruden on list but figured it would be so stupid to fire him at this point
But then again given who owner ,, I wouldn't be shocked

Jay gruden has gotten the redskins to a nfc title and another over .500 season in past 2 years. How could he be on the hot seat

I know Danny Snyder likes to manipulate the local press and slant things to make the organization actually look good but this is on a whole different level...

Brian Kelly at ND is pretty darn close. Blamed the 4-8 season on his coordinators (by firing all of them) and by coming out and saying he focused too much on fund raising. You can't do that at ND.

Jim Caldwell
In my opinion, he should have been fired after last season. Lacks in game adjustments as they are needed, stubborn, deer in headlights look for the most of the game.
Even if the Lions finish at 8-8, he needs to be canned, and Quinn would need to throw all the money in the world at Jon Gruden (one can dream...).

1 playoff appearance in four years since the SB is probably why.
I honestly thought Payton was going to go back to the Giants before they hired McAdoo but it seems to be that he'll entertain leaving when Brees retires.
Pagano has the hottest seat in the NFL IMO, especially after he outlasted Grigson.

One of the strange things here I think is that based on how his season goes he can either move up or move down.
Sean Payton has had one foot out the door since he moved his family back to Dallas. I'm not sure he ever moved back, but the speculation then was that he was waiting out Jason Garrett's firing and it's never happened. It's Gruden-levels of holding on to him with 3 7-9 seasons in a row.

If the Cowboys have a disappointing season, Jason Garrett should be on the hot seat. This is somehow this 8th season (7th full)...does he do anything other than clap? That playoff game against GB was not a good look.
I also will believe Marvin Lewis is fired when I see it. Not buying that he is on any hot seat.

Mike Brown won't fire Marvin. He's too cheap for that. He's the type of guy who goes to a high end restaurant and orders soup.

Aside from the aforementioned four names, how about Hue Jackson and Jim Caldwell?
In regards to Jackson, I get the Browns suck, but at some point they need to show improvement. If they have another truly awful season, do they keep him?
Caldwell to me has always just been "there", never seems like he's coaching anything. DET has been an actual NFL team under him, but after collapsing down the stretch into the PO's last season, another performance like that could get him canned.

As long as the Lions stay relevant, I think Caldwell is safe. Completely bottoming out is a different animal, but that applies to almost anyone. Hue Jackson just got a new QB who is probably starting Week 1, and that always buys you time. They won't be 1-15 again.

Jackson should be safe at minimum for 2 years. Let the guy actually build a damn culture/roster instead of going back to the coaching wheel
An underdog hot seat candidate might be Doug Marrone in Jacksonville. This might be just me, but that removing of the interim tag felt hollow. Like they knew there was no one better left out there so they're just like screw it, let's give him a year. Especially with a hardass like Coughlin in the Jags organization.
Arians is also a name i would back in this conversation. Those Torts hardass type coaches seem to work wonders initially, but their shelf life is pretty short. Especially with the Cardinals best days looking to be behind them.

This thread is morbid. Why does it excite you thinking of people losing their jobs and being miserable?
And holy crow, what in the name of He-Man is with a the ",," thing?

Players love playing for Arians though, even if he's hard. Tortorella is not in that vein. The Cardinals never felt like they were starting to loaf it or tuned him out.

Newsflash: We have one of these threads every year. Its simply speculating who is vulnerable to getting fired since every year there is quite an active coaching carousel. No one is really celebrating someone losing their job per say......unless of course said individual is so utterly incompetent at coaching that he makes watching your favorite team a miserable experience.
