Next NFL coach fired? Trio of favorites emerges

The proverbial first shoe dropped in the NFL head coaching carousel when the New York Jets fired Robert Saleh last week.After Week 6 brought several more lackluster — and some blowout — losses by other highly disappointing teams, the seats have become increasingly hot under several other coaches.The leading “candidate” to be the next coach fired is Jacksonville’s Doug Pederson, who is the odds-on favorite at -140 by SportsBetting.ag. The Jaguars, a preseason pick by many analysts to be a contender in the AFC, fell to 1-5 following a 19-point loss to the Bears at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on Sunday.The book is offering odds on 17 candidates, although it’s a small group that is reasonably facing potential pink slips in the near future.NEXT NFL COACH FIRED ODDS*Doug Pederson, Jaguars (-140)Mike McCarthy, Cowboys (+400)Kevin Stefanski, Browns (+550)Antonio Pierce, Raiders (+600)Zac Taylor, Bengals (+900)Dennis Allen, Saints (+1600)Nick Sirianni, Eagles (+1800)Brian Daboll, Giants (+2000)Brian Callahan, Titans (+3300)Jerod Mayo, Patriots (+4500)Matt Eberflus, Bears (+5000)Shane Steichen, Colts (+5000)Sean McVay, Rams (+5000)Mike McDaniel, Dolphins (+5000)Todd Bowles, Buccaneers (+6600)Sean Payton, Broncos (+7500)Dave Canales, Cardinals (+10000)
