#3 - Ron Rivera
Ron Rivera helped the Washington Commanders win the NFC East division and make a playoff appearance during the 2020-21 NFL season. This despite finishing the regular season with just a 7-9 record. The Commanders entered the 2021-22 NFL season with high expectations, but failed to return to the playoffs.
Rivera has been vocal during the offseason that the Commanders need to upgrade their quarterback if they want to find postseason success. His wish was granted when they traded for Carson Wentz, who has had struggles of his own but still improves the team from what they had previously. If a new quarterback isn't enough to get them back into the playoffs, Rivera could potentially be fired at the end of the year.
#4 - Mike McCarthy
Mike McCarthy was hired to be the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys prior to the 2020-21 NFL season. His first season was disappointing as the Cowboys missed the playoffs, but he was given somewhat of a pass because Dak Prescott missed most of the year with an injury.
The Cowboys improved during the 2021-22 NFL season, winning the NFC East division and making it to the playoffs, but lost their first postseason game. McCarthy was hired to help make the Cowboys Super Bowl contenders, so if they fail to make a deep postseason run this year, he could be fired.
#5 - Frank Reich
The Indianapolis Colts had a disappointing ending to the 2021-22 NFL season. They needed to win just one of their final two games last year to make it to the playoffs, but failed to do so, including a disastrous loss to the last-placed Jacksonville Jaguars.
While most of the blame seems to be placed on quarterback Carson Wentz, some of it should definitely be on head coach Frank Reich as well. The Colts traded away Wentz during the offseason in favor of Matt Ryan, so if they fail to return to the playoffs this year, it could be Reich's last season with the team.
