The 2016 NFL hot seat is beginning to really sizzle as several head coaches are seeing their seasons spiral out of control.

This is normally around the time when the contenders and pretenders begin to separate. It’s also when head coaches can start to see the writing on the wall, for better or worse. Several big names made have to update their resumes real soon. Who should be the most worried?

On The Edge:

Gus Bradley (Jacksonville Jaguars)

If there is any man in the NFL right now who can be called a virtual guaranteed fire, it would be Gus Bradley. His inability to win games for the Jacksonville Jaguars has gone on for four seasons. This despite what appears to be a young and talented roster. Ownership has remained patient with him longer than most but everybody has a breaking point. Bradley clearly surpassed it in Jacksonville with this latest disappointment.

Mike McCoy (San Diego Chargers)

They continue to play hard every week and be in every game. Unfortunately the San Diego Chargers just haven’t caught enough breaks. At 4-6 they’re well out of the AFC West race and appear done short of running the table to finish the season. Rumors were hot that Mike McCoy was in trouble unless his team started winning. They did enough to forestall the event, but with how things are now it would be shocking if he was still around come January.
