Vegas odds have been released for which coach will get the axe first in the NFL. Happens every year, sometimes in the middle of the year. Mike McCarthy's name tops the list, which seems plausible. We know Jerry Jones can be a bit of a hot-head. Still, it surprises me that he has the shortest odds, given the fact that the Cowboys should be decent this year.
The next name on the list doesn't surprise me, I thought Todd Bowles might get fired in the off-season after last year's disaster, but if the Bucs are as bad as we think they might be - he might not make it through the bye week. Worth noting, those who cover the Bucs closely say that's consistent within their culture to fire a coach mid-season, so probably a bad bet.
Kevin Stefanski is a sneaky good option at 9-1. The Browns are never afraid to fire a coach. They've only been through 100 since 1999. Plus, the added pressure of winning with Deshaun Watson after all they gave up to get him (and are paying him currently). Take a look at the rest of the list, below!
