Josh McDaniels is back on the hottest coaching seat in the NFL, at least according to oddsmakers.
The co-favorite before the season by SportsBetting.ag to be the first coach fired, McDaniels earned a reprieve when Las Vegas opened the season with a victory at Denver. However, that victory lost some of its luster due to the Broncos' ongoing struggles while the Raiders have dropped their past two games.
Three weeks into the season, McDaniels is again the book's favorite to be the first coach fired at 200.
Just behind him is Matt Eberflus at 225 with Chicago off to an 0-3 start and coming off a blowout loss to Kansas City. A loss at home this weekend to fellow 0-3 Denver would only ratchet the heat up further on Eberflus, who is a combined 3-17 in his second season in the Windy City.
The third-shortest odds belong to Washington's Ron Rivera at 300. Despite a 2-1 start, the Commanders are coming off an uncompetitive loss at home to Buffalo and the new ownership group has made it clear that Rivera's fate rests solely on wins and losses. Following a tough trip to Philadelphia in Week 4, Washington plays the Bears at home on a short week before traveling to Atlanta and the New York Giants.
Brandon Staley, who had the shortest odds last week, saw those lengthen to 1100 with the Chargers getting their first win of the season at Minnesota. Conversely, that game also shot the Vikings' Kevin O'Connell up to 1000 with Minnesota off to an 0-3 start.
