Brian Daboll, Giants: Daboll, 50, was fired Nov. 10 after New York’s record dropped to 2-8. It was his fourth season as the team’s head coach. He led them to a playoff berth in 2022 after a 9-7-1 mark, but the team failed to achieve a winning record in the subsequent seasons. He finished with a 20-40-1 record during his tenure.
Jonathan Gannon, Cardinals: Gannon was fired Jan. 5, the day after his 43rd birthday, after three seasons in Arizona where had a 15-36 record. After an 8-9 finish in 2024, the Cardinals regressed this season with a 3-14 mark, tying a league-worst win total with the Raiders and Titans.
Raheem Morris, Falcons: Morris, 49, was fired Jan. 4, hours after Atlanta’s 19-17 win over the New Orleans Saints. He was ousted along with general manager Terry Fontenot. The Falcons finished 8-9 in each of Morris’ two seasons as head coach. It was Morris’ second stint with the team. As a defensive coordinator in 2020, he was promoted to interim head coach after Dan Quinn was fired, and finished the season with a 4-7 mark. He was also Tampa’s head coach from 2009-11, putting together a 17-31 record over those three seasons.
Kevin Stefanski, Browns: Stefanski, 43, was fired Jan. 5 after six seasons in Cleveland where he had a 45-56 record and was twice honored as the AP Coach of the Year. The Browns finished 2025 with a 5-12 mark, a two-win improvement over their 2024 campaign. Under Stefanski, Cleveland reached the playoffs twice (2020 and 2023), going 1-2 in the playoffs. Prior to 2020, the Browns had not reached the postseason since 2002.
