NFL coaches on the hot seat: Who's in the most trouble after 5 weeks?

After five weeks of the NFL season, several head coaches are facing mounting pressure as their teams struggle to find consistency. Todd Bowles’ Buccaneers remain in a precarious position despite a narrow 24-16 win over the Cowboys, their third victory in 14 games.

The team’s reliance on undrafted rookie Jalon Daniels or an injury-plagued Baker Mayfield—who played with a dislocated thumb—has raised concerns, especially with critical matchups against the Panthers and Falcons looming. Meanwhile, Dan Quinn’s Washington Commanders are at the bottom of the NFC East after a series of costly late-game errors, including a humiliating loss that has drawn widespread criticism and threatens his long-term tenure.

The team’s turnaround under Quinn has stalled, leaving them in a league-worst position and sparking questions about whether his job is secure after a Super Bowl run just a year ago. Jim Harbaugh’s Chargers, meanwhile, continue their winless start to the 2026 season, adding to the pressure as they prepare to face the Chiefs next.
