NFL Week 7, 2019: 5 Coaches on the hot seat
By Dan Parzych
Here are five head coaches that should consider themselves on the hot seat for NFL Week 7 of the 2019 season.
As expected, after another crazy weekend of action, numerous head coaches find their name on the hot seat for NFL Week 7 of the 2019 season, and the pressure continues to heat up more than ever.
When Mike Vrabel took over the head coaching job with the Tennessee Titans leading up to the 2018 season, he was arguably handed a gift since they were already a playoff-caliber team.
After earning a trip to the Divisional Round of the playoffs the year before, the Titans were expected to pick right up where they left off in 2018 with Vrabel as their head coach.
Instead, Tennessee came up just shy of a playoff berth after losing a key game to the Indianapolis Colts during Week 17, putting even more pressure on Vrabel entering this season.
Similar to last season, when looking at the talent the Titans have to work with on both sides of the football, there’s every reason to believe this team should be capable of competing for a playoff spot in the AFC.
But with Tennessee off to a disappointing 2-4 start, Tennessee is quickly watching their season go downhill, and watching Vrabel make the switch to Ryan Tannehill at quarterback instead of Marcus Mariota shows this team is desperate for some sort of spark on offense.
Along with Vrabel, here are a few other names to keep an eye on when it comes to the hot seat entering Week 7, as the pressure continues to build to win games before they get let go like the Washington Redskins did with Jay Gruden.
