2. Raheem Morris, Atlanta Falcons
The Atlanta Falcons went all-in on the 2025 season when they traded their 2026 first-round pick to the Los Angeles Rams for pass rusher James Pearce. The team entered the season with a strong defense and a promising second-year quarterback surrounded by talented playmakers. Despite all this, the team was out of playoff contention by November.
Morris looked like a dead man walking for most of the offseason, but the team’s recent hot streak could save his job. Atlanta is now 7-9 and sits just one game behind the Carolina Panthers in the NFC South. While they cannot win the division thanks to tiebreakers, this late-season surge could be enough for ownership to believe Morris is capable of building a winning culture.
