Favorites to be the next NFL head coach fired

Bears Matt Eberflus (-150)

To say things have not gone smoothly during the Matt Eberflus tenure would be an understatement. The Chicago Bears own a combined 20-41 record entering Week 12 of this season, and most of the blame has fallen on Eberflus' shoulders. 

He's done very little this year to help Caleb Williams develop into the franchise QB the Bears are expecting him to be, and with every passing game, the effort level dips, almost as if the players have completely given up on their head coach. It's no surprise he's the betting favorite to be the next head coach fired. 

Jaguars  Doug Pederson (+120)

If there's any current Jacksonville Jaguars personnel that has nine lives, it's Doug Pederson. Somehow, some way, this guy still has a job, despite owning the league's worst record at 2-9. 

The Jaguars are so bad, that they have two separate losing streaks of 4+ games. Many thought the team's loss to Chicago in London would be the final straw, but here we are, still talking about Pederson and his inability to get the most out of a half-decent offensive unit. 

Giants  Brian Daboll (+350)

While I'm not calling Brian Daboll a good coach by any stretch, the fact that the New York Giants signed Daniel Jones to a four-year $160 million extension while letting Saquon Barkley walk in free agency would hamper any coach's progress. 

The team is a dumpster fire from the top down, and I'm not sure how much blame should be placed on Daboll's shoulders. 

I believe he's safe for now, but only just.
