In the NFL, it feels like at least a third of the league’s head coaches are always feeling the heat every season. Some may even be dead men walking. ESPN and Omaha Productions’ Kevin Clark joins Charles McDonald on the latest episode of The exempt list to identify the coaches who are in the right seats and perhaps even “pre-fired” heading into the 2024 season.
(3:10) – Nico Collins gets PAID… is he clearly WR1 in Houston now?
(8:40) – Who gets paid next? + Why Dak Prescott could get an astronomical deal if he had his free will
(15:30) – Identifying the hotseat and pre-fired coaches in 2024
(15:45) – Mike McCarthy: He was actually ‘pre-fired’ and it’s not his fault
(20:40) – Dennis Allen: Should he have been fired after the Winston debacle?
(25:30) – Matt Eberflus + Robert Saleh: Both have pass/fail assignments this season
(34:45) – Zac Taylor: Why he’s probably very safe in Cincy
(35:20) – Nick Sirianni: He’s in the hottest seats in Philly
(41:20) – Doug Pederson: He’ll be the scapegoat in Jacksonville this year
(49:15) – Brian Daboll: He may have a longer leash than you think
(54:20) – Who could be ‘one and done’ candidates?
(1:02:45) – Head coaching candidates to keep in mind next season
