If you’ve been an NFL fan for long, you know that there are always plenty of coaches that don’t make it through the season. Either because they underperform, they run out of luck, or just because of their personality, someone’s always getting the boot in the National Football League.

The NFL is all about winning, or so they say. So, when the fans start to make noise and the team starts to pile up numbers in the losing column, it’s only a matter of time before the coach hits the road.

The 2020/21 NFL season wasn’t the exception to that rule. So, even despite the obstacle-riddled season, the pandemic, and whatnot, team owners were ruthless once again. Therefore, we present you with the list of coaches fired in 2020.

To be honest, most people were surprised this didn’t happen before. Bill O’Brien also handled the GM duties and made a massive mess out of the Houston Texans’ once-promising roster, and the results showed on the field. Bill O’Brien lost control of the team and the Texans wasted yet another year of Deshaun Watson, so it wasn’t a surprise to see them let Bill go.

The Atlanta Falcons were one of the biggest disappointments of the season. They had a somewhat revamped roster, a proven quarterback, and were one of the best teams in the league just a couple of years ago. Notably, they started winning games and stopped blowing leads once they kissed Dan Quinn goodbye.

It’s incredible to think just how patient the Detroit Lions were with Matt Patricia. Clearly, that defensive mastermind from the New England Patriots was nowhere to be found, as he didn’t have Bill Belichick by his side. Matthew Stafford played well but the team constantly shot themselves in the foot, and now it seems like they’re heading towards a rebuild.
