List Of NFL Coaches, Coordinators, & GMs Fired This Season (2025)
Mike Tomlin | Stepping Down As The Coach Of The Pittsburgh Steelers

Known for his leadership, consistency, and ability to inspire his teams, Tomlin leaves behind a legacy that includes multiple playoff appearances and a Super Bowl victory.
His departure marks the end of an era for the Steelers, as they look to transition into a new chapter of their storied history.
Greg Roman | Was the Los Angeles Chargers Offensive Coordinator
Greg Roman, former Offensive Coordinator for the Los Angeles Chargers, was relieved of his duties following the team’s struggles to maintain offensive consistency.
Despite his reputation for innovative schemes, the Chargers’ offense underperformed, failing to meet expectations in key moments.
The decision to part ways reflects the organization’s desire for a fresh approach to maximize their offensive potential moving forward.
Mike McDaniel | Coached the Miami Dolphins
The Miami Dolphins have fired head coach Mike McDaniel after a disappointing 7-10 season, marking the end of his four-year tenure.
Despite initial success, including back-to-back playoff appearances in his first two seasons, the team struggled in recent years, failing to secure a playoff berth in the last two seasons.
Owner Stephen Ross made the decision following consecutive losing seasons and a lack of progress in addressing the team’s offensive struggles, which had been a key focus of McDaniel’s hiring.
McDaniel’s tenure was marked by highs, such as leading the league in offense early on, but defenses eventually adapted, exposing weaknesses.
A late-season shift to a run-heavy strategy showed promise but came too late to salvage the season.
Speculation now surrounds potential replacements, with names like John Harbaugh being floated
Josh Grizzard | Was the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Offensive Coordinator
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have fired offensive coordinator Josh Grizzard after just one season in the role.
Despite retaining head coach Todd Bowles, the team’s failure to make the playoffs led to changes within the coaching staff.
Grizzard, who previously served as the Buccaneers’ passing game coordinator, oversaw an offense that ranked 18th in scoring and 21st in total offense during the 2025 season.
This marks the fifth offensive coordinator change for Bowles.
Kliff Kingsbury | Was the Washington Commanders Offensive Coordinator
The Washington Commanders and offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury have mutually agreed to part ways following a disappointing 5-12 season.
Kingsbury’s offense, which ranked 22nd in both points and yards, struggled due to injuries to key players like quarterback Jayden Daniels and receiver Terry McLaurin.
Despite a strong rushing attack, the passing game faltered, leading to the decision.
Kingsbury is expected to explore other coaching opportunities.
John Harbough | Coached the Baltimore Ravens
The Baltimore Ravens have parted ways with head coach John Harbaugh after 18 seasons, marking the end of an era for the franchise.
Harbaugh, who led the Ravens to a Super Bowl victory in 2012, was the NFL’s second-longest tenured head coach, behind Mike Tomlin.
Despite his impressive career, which includes 193 wins (12th all-time) and a 13-11 playoff record, the Ravens decided to move in a new direction following a disappointing 8-9 season and a missed playoff berth.
Harbaugh’s tenure was defined by early success, but recent years saw struggles in postseason performance.
With two-time MVP Lamar Jackson at quarterback, the Ravens managed only three playoff wins in eight seasons and failed to advance past the AFC Championship Game.
The team also faced challenges with blown leads, losing eight double-digit leads over the past four seasons.
The decision to part ways comes as the Ravens aim to maximize the remaining years of Jackson’s contract and return to Super Bowl contention.
Harbaugh’s departure signals a fresh start for the franchise, which will now search for a leader to guide them into a new chapter.
John Morton | Was the Detroit Lions Offensive Coordinator
The Detroit Lions have fired offensive coordinator John Morton after just one season.
Morton, who previously served as the team’s senior offensive assistant, was brought in to replace Ben Johnson but struggled to maintain consistency in the offense.
Head coach Dan Campbell took over play-calling duties midseason after a loss to the Minnesota Vikings, further signaling dissatisfaction with Morton’s performance.
Under Morton, the Lions averaged 29.9 points per game before Campbell assumed play-calling, but the team failed to sustain offensive momentum and missed the playoffs with a 9-8 record.
The Lions are now searching for a new offensive coordinator, marking their third change at the position in five seasons under Campbell.

The Arizona Cardinals have fired head coach Jonathan Gannon after three seasons, during which the team posted a 15-36 record.

Terry Fontenot | Was the Atlanta Falcons General Manager
The Atlanta Falcons have fired general manager Terry Fontenot after two disappointing seasons.
Despite a late-season surge and an 8-9 finish in 2025, the team’s prolonged playoff drought since 2017 and lack of a winning record for eight straight seasons led to the decision.
Fontenot’s tenure ends as the Falcons look to reset their leadership.
Raheem Morris | Coached the Atlanta Falcons
The Atlanta Falcons have parted ways with head coach Raheem Morris after two underwhelming seasons.
Despite ending the 2025 season with a 19-17 win over the New Orleans Saints and a four-game winning streak, the team’s 8-9 record wasn’t enough to save his job.
