NFL 2025 First Coach Fired Odds: McDaniel seat getting hotter

By Adam Thompson Oct 21st, 2025 3:17 PM EDT

It took six weeks for an NFL team to move on from their current head coach. Brian Callahan is out for the Tennessee Titans following a 20-10 loss to the Raiders in Week 6.

Callahan may be the first head coach to be let go, but will he be the last?

Bookies.com veteran oddsmaker Adam Thompson has updated his weekly odds as to which coach is first to be shown the door in 2025:

Mike McDaniel has strengthened his "favorite" status after NFL Week 7 action. Here’s a breakdown.

Mike McDaniel, Dolphins (+200)

The Dolphins' nightmare season continued, and potentially bottomed out, with a 31-6 beatdown at the hands of one-win Cleveland. Surprising to many, Mike McDaniel remains the coach as the Dolphins prepare for a road matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. They're now 1-5, ranking 30th in total offense, 26th in defense.

Aaron Glenn, Jets (+400)

The Jets entered Week 7 as the NFL's only winless team. That trend didn't change following a lackluster 13-6 home loss to the Carolina Panthers.

Aaron Glenn is only in his first season, but thus far the results haven't been favorable. Another winnable matchup looms against the Bengals before a bye week that Glenn may or may not survive.

Zac Taylor, Bengals (+500)

After dropping three straight following Joe Burrow's injury, Zac Taylor's Bengals went out and traded for veteran QB Joe Flacco. The Bengals then lost at Green Bay, but followed that up with a spirited 33-31 win over Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers.

Cincy is now 3-4 and get the Jets and Bears up next. Two wins should push Taylor right off this list.

Jonathan Gannon, Cardinals (+700)

For the third game in a row, Jonathan Gannon and the Cardinals lost a game in which they had at TD-sized lead in the fourth quarter. That's the first time in NFL history it's occurred.

Gannon and the Cards get to their bye week with a chance to regroup before facing a surging Cowboys team.

Brian Daboll, Giants (+700)

The Giants hammered the defending Super Bowl champion Eagles in Week 6, then had the Broncos right where they wanted them last Sunday. Denver then scored 33 points in the fourth quarter in a shocking 33-32 victory.

That unique level of inability to close out a game doesn't help Brian Daboll, who is running an offense led by a rookie QB and rookie RB. They get a rematch with the Eagles in Philly this week.

Kevin Stefanski, Browns (+1000)

Kevin Stefanski matched wits with Mike McDaniel in a clash of their 1-5 teams last Sunday. The Browns emphatically won that showdown, 31-6. Dillon Gabriel did enough and the defense was suffocating.

That win snapped a three-game skid, and now the Browns face Drake Maye and the Patriots before a bye week.
