2021’s Most Fireable NFL Coaches List Might Surprise You (It Surprised Me!)

USA Today has put together a list of the NFL’s top fireable coaches, at least in their minds, judging by the first four weeks of the 2021 regular season.

Um, how did Bill Belichick end up on this list?! Yeah. Just for the record, I’m not onboard with that.

Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell is not on the list. It sounds like the USA Today crew has hopes that, given enough time, Campbell can turn things around for the Lions. I think Campbell is the right guy for the job, but I would like to see a win sometime soon.

Here are the top five, according to USA Today:

Urban Meyer, Jaguars (0-4)
Matt Nagy, Bears (2-2)
Joe Judge, Giants (1-3)
Mike Zimmer, Vikings (2-2)
Bill Belichick, Patriots (1-3)
