It’s that time of year when NFL head coaches need to update their LinkedIn pages.

Whether it’s a future coach looking for a job or a former coach who just lost one, there are now multiple vacancies around the league to apply for.

And, with a few more losses from some teams, other positions could soon become available.

Here are the vacant head coaching positions in the NFL and others that could be vacant.

New York Jets

The New York Jets were the first team to make a coaching change during the 2024 season. Robert Saleh was fired just five games into the season after going 2-3 with a now winning Jets team led by 40-year-old quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

Saleh, who had one year remaining on his contract, was 20-36 over three-plus seasons with the Jets. His .357 winning percentage was the worst of any Jets head coach with at least 40 games.

For Jets owner Woody Johnson, it was the first time in his 25-year tenure that a head coach was fired during the season.

The Jets named defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich as the team’s interim head coach – then lost their next three games to fall to 2-6. Ulbrich, who played linebacker for 10 seasons with the San Francisco 49ers and was the linebackers coach of the Atlanta Falcons for six seasons, picked up his first win in Week 9 with a 21-13 victory over the Houston Texans.

The Jets are looking to end the NFL’s longest active playoff drought, which lasts 13 seasons. They will attempt to become the third team in league history to make the playoffs with an interim coach at the helm, joining the 2021 Raiders with Rich Bisaccia and the 1961 Oilers with Wally Lemm.

New Orleans Saints

The New Orleans Saints appeared to be one of the surprise teams in the NFL after a 2-0 start to the season. Seven weeks later, their head coach Dennis Allen was fired.

The Saints let him go Monday after losing their seventh straight game to fall to 2-7 — the team’s first seven-game losing streak since 1999.

Allen, who replaced Sean Payton as coach in 2022, went 18-25 with the Saints. This was the second time Allen was relieved of head coaching duties mid-season, having been fired by the Raiders in 2014 following an 0-4 start. He went 8-28 in two-plus seasons with the Raiders.

After the Saints’ first midseason firing since 1985, the team named special teams coordinator Darren Rizzi as interim coach.

Which NFL coach will be fired next?

What about the Cowboys?

The Dallas Cowboys are 3-5, sitting in third place in the NFC East and reportedly missing Dak Prescott for several weeks due to a hamstring injury.

Head coach Mike McCarthy went 75-45 in four-plus seasons with the Cowboys, but is just 1-3 in the playoffs, including a humiliating 48-game home loss. -32 in last season’s wild-card round against his former team, the Greens. Bay Packers.

McCarthy’s five-year contract will expire after the season, but he has repeatedly received public support from Cowboys owner Jerry Jones.

“I’m good with Mike,” Jones told reporters after Sunday’s game. according to Jon Machota of The Athletic. “I know how hard he works. I love his football spirit. I know how well he works. He has, in my opinion, an exceptional coaching record.

“He’s really good with the players. They think highly of him. He’s got a lot of fire in his belly. So, I tell you, I like the positives that I see. And, by the way, frankly, some of the best coaches I have been around, I had the opportunity to see them when times were tough.”

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson is also in the hot seat. After a season in which they lost five of their last six games and missed the playoffs, the Jaguars are now 2-7. The team has regressed every season since Pederson’s first season as head coach in 2022, when they went 9-8 and scored an epic comeback victory in the wild-card round . Since then, it’s mostly been downhill.

The same could be said of New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll. He was named the 2022 NFL Coach of the Year after his first season with the Giants following a surprising 9-7-1 season and an upset win over the Minnesota Vikings in the wild-card round. But that seems like a long, long time ago. The Giants finished 6-11 last season and are now 2-7 this season.

We’ll see what happens to these coaches and others on Black Monday…if they last that long.
