The term "Black Monday" refers to the day following the NFL regular season when coaching changes are frequently announced. In 2025, the Tennessee Titans dismissed Brian Callahan mid-season, and the New York Giants dismissed Brian Daboll mid-season. The Titans' performance showed improvement following their coaching change. A number of NFL head coaches are currently facing scrutiny regarding their positions.### Mike McDaniel
Mike McDaniel's status as head coach of the Miami Dolphins has been a subject of discussion. The Dolphins concluded the recent season winning five of their last seven games. McDaniel, 42, is recognized for his offensive strategies. Observations regarding his leadership style have been noted. Should the Dolphins elect a different coaching direction, McDaniel is anticipated to be a prominent offensive coordinator candidate in the market.### Pete Carroll
Pete Carroll's performance as head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders in the 2025 season has drawn attention. The Raiders recorded a 4-13 record in the previous season and subsequently acquired quarterback Geno Smith and player Ashton Jeanty. During the 2025 season, the team's performance did not meet external expectations, resulting in consistent losses. The Raiders hold a Top 5 pick in the upcoming draft, including a potential No. 1 overall selection. It has been speculated that a potential coaching change could be framed as Carroll's retirement to maintain decorum, which would facilitate a coaching search without an explicit dismissal.### Kevin Stefanski
Kevin Stefanski's continued role as head coach of the Cleveland Browns is under consideration. Stefanski is a two-time Coach of the Year winner. Over his six-year tenure, the Browns have achieved two winning seasons. His career win percentage as a head coach is .440. Factors cited for the team's performance include aspects of drafting, free agency acquisitions, and the situation involving Deshaun Watson. A new direction for both the team and Stefanski has been suggested.### Zac Taylor
Zac Taylor's position as head coach of the Cincinnati Bengals is linked to his contract, which extends through 2027. His coaching record with the Bengals reflects a .457 win percentage. The team's roster includes notable offensive talents such as Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase. The decision regarding his future may be influenced by the financial implications of terminating his contract and hiring a new coach concurrently.### Jonathan Gannon
Jonathan Gannon's tenure as head coach of the Arizona Cardinals is characterized by a lack of significant defensive improvement. The Cardinals' defensive statistics include ranking 29th in points allowed, 24th against the pass, and 25th against the run. The team has missed the playoffs for three consecutive years. The team's quarterback situation has been cited as a factor in recent struggles. A change in coaching leadership has been suggested as a means to explore new leadership in conjunction with a potential new quarterback.### John Harbaugh
John Harbaugh, head coach of the Baltimore Ravens, has led the team for 13 years since their Super Bowl victory. While the Ravens have frequently qualified for the playoffs, their performance during the Lamar Jackson era has been a recurring subject of discussion regarding team achievements. The team completed the most recent season with a .500 record, experiencing challenges, including an injury to Lamar Jackson. A modernization of the coaching approach has been suggested for consideration.### Aaron Glenn
Aaron Glenn's initial season as head coach of the New York Jets followed the trade of key defensive players Quinnen Williams and Sauce Gardner, and challenges at the quarterback position. The Jets have performed as one of the lower-ranked teams in the league during his tenure. The team's effort levels have been a point of observation. A comparison has been made to Jerrod Mayo's one-year tenure with the Patriots, which concluded with a change in coaching direction. A change in the Jets' coaching situation is implied despite the challenges Glenn inherited.
