NFL coaches fired 2024
Doug Pederson, Jacksonville Jaguars
The Jacksonville Jaguars fired head coach Doug Pederson on Black Monday, the day after the final week of the regular season. Pederson got off to a great start in Jacksonville, finishing the 2022 season with a 9-8 record and a playoff win. The team seemed poised for long-term success in 2023, entering December with an 8-3 record. From December 2023 to Week 18 of the 2024 NFL season, the Jaguars went 5-18. A new Jaguars coaching search is beginning, but the presence of general manager Trent Baalke will hurt in the coaching search.

Jerod Mayo, New England Patriots
The New England Patriots fired head coach Jerod Mayo immediately after their Week 18 win over the Buffalo Bills. Mayo, a first-year head coach, won his first and last game as an NFL head coach, but leadership issues and the deterioration of the Patriots defense resulted in his termination. Mike Vrabel is the overwhelming favorite to become the next Patriots coach.
