NFL Coaching Hot Seat 2026: Five Coaches Who Could Lose Their Jobs

Could Jim Harbaugh lose his job after the Los Angeles Chargers started 0-7? Five NFL head coaches are on the hot seat in 2026, and some may not survive the season. Hosted by PFN's Max Chadwick, this NFL coaching hot seat analysis starts with Harbaugh and a Chargers offense struggling under Mike McDaniel. Max considers whether changing offensive coordinators makes more sense than firing the head coach. Shane Steichen faces an uncertain future as Indianapolis reshapes its roster, while Aaron Glenn has struggled to turn around the New York Jets. Brian Schottenheimer's Cowboys have a productive offense but continue to struggle defensively, and Robert Saleh's first season with Tennessee raises questions about Cam Ward's development. Max also examines why the Jets' collection of first-round picks could make their next coaching vacancy attractive.
