纽约喷气机队主教练Aaron Glenn、坦帕湾海盗队主教练Todd Bowles和辛辛那提孟加拉虎队主教练Zac Taylor等多位教练正面临严峻的职位保障形势。[1]
Glenn在喷气机队首个赛季表现不理想，成为球队历史上首位在首个赛季丢掉前7场比赛的主教练，上赛季球队战绩为3-14。[1]喷气机队连续第15年无缘季后赛。[1]Bowles执教坦帕湾已有4个赛季，总战绩为35-33，但上赛季末段球队陷入困境，以2-7的战绩结束，最终8-9收场无缘季后赛。[1]Taylor则执教辛辛那提已有8个赛季，上赛季因四分卫Joe Burrow脚趾伤缺阵9场，球队6-11收场，这已是球队连续第3个赛季无缘季后赛。[1]
除此之外，绿湾包装工队主教练Matt LaFleur也面临压力。[1]LaFleur执教绿湾7个赛季，常规赛战绩为76-40-1，但季后赛表现欠佳，战绩仅为3-6，且自2021年以来仅取得1场季后赛胜利。[1]相比之下，费城老鹰队主教练Nick Sirianni在5个赛季内战绩为59-26，已经取得超级碗胜利和两个NFC冠军。[1]
Multiple NFL head coaches are confronting significant job security concerns as the new season approaches, with their recent performance records putting their positions in jeopardy.[1]
Aaron Glenn of the New York Jets is among those under scrutiny, having become the first head coach in franchise history to lose the opening seven games in his inaugural season, with the team finishing last year at 3-14.[1] Glenn's Jets have now missed the playoffs for 15 consecutive years.[1] Similarly, Todd Bowles of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers compiled a 35-33 record over four seasons but saw his team stumble down the stretch last year with a 2-7 record, finishing 8-9 and missing the postseason.[1] In Cincinnati, Zac Taylor has coached the Bengals for eight seasons and watched his club go 6-11 last year after quarterback Joe Burrow missed nine games due to a toe injury, marking the third consecutive season the team has failed to reach the playoffs.[1]
Other coaches facing varying degrees of pressure include Green Bay's Matt LaFleur, who holds a 76-40-1 record over seven seasons but has posted a 3-6 playoff mark with only one playoff victory since 2021.[1] By contrast, Philadelphia's Nick Sirianni has compiled a 59-26 record over five seasons with a Super Bowl victory and two NFC championships to his credit.[1]
