New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn, Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles and Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor are among NFL coaches facing hot-seat pressure in the 2026 season. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Associated Press.
According to Associated Press correspondent Dennis Waszak, these coaches' teams failed to meet expectations last season. Glenn was hired as Jets head coach in 2026, but the team missed the playoffs. Bowles has coached the Buccaneers since 2023, but the team finished 9-8 and 8-9 in the last two seasons. Taylor has coached the Bengals since 2019, but the team finished 7-10 in the 2025 season.
Additionally, Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen, Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni and Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur are also on the list. Steichen has coached the Colts since 2023, but the team finished 8-9. Sirianni has coached the Eagles since 2021, but the team finished 10-7 and missed the playoffs in 2025. LaFleur has coached the Packers since 2019, but the team finished 9-8 in 2025.
Each of these coaches risks losing their job if they do not achieve high results in the upcoming season. The 2026 NFL season begins in September.
