Thirteen NFL teams eliminated from postseason contention are at various stages of evaluating their coaching futures, with some already making changes and others planning assessments after the season, including teams like the Cardinals, Falcons, Bengals, Browns, Chiefs, Raiders, Dolphins, Vikings, Jets, Saints, and Commanders.
After Week 9, 44 teams have been eliminated from CFP contention, with several teams still alive across various conferences, notably the SEC, Big Ten, and ACC, as the season approaches its climax and the selection committee prepares to rank the top teams.
As the NFL playoffs move forward, the six teams eliminated during Super Wild Card Weekend face pressing questions. The Cleveland Browns must address the durability of key offensive players, the Dallas Cowboys are in a position to potentially reset under owner Jerry Jones, the Los Angeles Rams must decide whether to rebuild or reload, the Miami Dolphins need to determine if it's too early to commit to Tua Tagovailoa, and the Philadelphia Eagles are dealing with concerns about head coach Nick Sirianni. Meanwhile, the Pittsburgh Steelers face uncertainty regarding the future of head coach Mike Tomlin.
