The NFL coaching carousel is in full swing as the regular season concludes, with several teams making significant changes to their leadership.

Recent Firings:

Jerod Mayo was dismissed by the New England Patriots following their 23-16 win over Buffalo Bills. After just one season and a 4-13 record, Mayo's tenure ended primarily due to poor team performance and questionable quarterback management with Drake Maye.

Doug Pederson was fired by the Jacksonville Jaguars after three seasons, despite having promising quarterback Trevor Lawrence. The team's 5-18 record in their last 23 games led to his dismissal, though GM Trent Balke remains.

Pending Decisions:

Las Vegas Raiders: Antonio Pierce remains hopeful about retaining his position despite a 4-13 season.

New York Jets: Mike Vrabel has interviewed, with Rex Ryan scheduled for tomorrow. Ryan's previous Jets tenure (2009-2014) saw a 46-50 record with two AFC Championship appearances.

Dallas Cowboys: Mike McCarthy expresses desire to return despite a 49-34 record and poor playoff performance (1-3).

Surprising Retentions:

• Brian Daboll stays with the Giants despite 3-14 record
• Shane Steichen remains with Colts after 8-9 season

Super Bowl Odds Update (BetMGM):

• Lions: +400 to +280 (14.9% tickets, 16.0% handle)
• Chiefs: +375 to +350 (12.7% tickets, 15.9% handle)
• Ravens: +700 to +600 (8.4% tickets, 11.6% handle)

These three teams currently represent the biggest liability for sportsbooks.
