Six NFL head coaches on the hot seat entering 2017

NFL head coaches

3. John Fox, Chicago Bears

The Bears made two interesting offseason moves surrounding the quarterback position. They signed the duo of the inexperienced Mike Glennon and turnover-prone Mark Sanchez to the quarterback squad. Plan A is for Glennon to start. But what if the team has to turn to Sanchez?

Fox is beginning his third year with the Bears, and he has won nine games total. The Bears finished last in the NFC North from 2015-16, and the roster as a whole is not very impressive.

This follows four successful years coaching the Denver Broncos and producing a 46-18 record. Another poor season and a last-place finish would almost certainly see Fox out the door in 2017.

Unfortunately, Fox had to deal with several key players on the Bears falling victim to injuries last season. Hopefully, those star players will make a robust return, which could help Fox keep his job. Making smart decisions in the upcoming draft, including wisely using pick No. 3, will also be crucial.
