Here are five head coaches that should consider themselves on the hot seat for NFL Week 13.
As usual, there are plenty of head coaches who will be fighting to keep their jobs heading into NFL Week 13, and this time there’s a bit of an interesting surprise with Jason Garrett joining the mix.
Despite the Dallas Cowboys controlling the driver’s seat in the NFC East at the moment with a full game lead over the Philadelphia Eagles, Garrett has come under fire in recent weeks with his team losing two key games that could hurt them down the road.
Two weeks after the Cowboys came up just short on the road against the Minnesota Vikings, Dallas lost another close game this past weekend to the New England Patriots.
Even if the argument can be made that Dallas deserves some benefit of the doubt since the game was played in sloppy conditions, there were numerous opportunities for the Cowboys to pull away with a win in this one, yet they came up short once again.
Keep in mind this isn’t the first time that Garrett has found his name on the hot seat over the years since the Cowboys have established the unfortunate reputation at times for being a team loaded with talent that always seems to come up short when needed the most.
