Several N.F.L. Coaches Fired [View all]
Several N.F.L. Coaches Depart as Regular Season EndsThe new year may invoke the idea of a fresh beginning, but for a certain class of underperforming or unwanted N.F.L. coaches it always means the end.
And so it was as several teams — the Oakland Raiders, the Detroit Lions, the Chicago Bears and the Indianapolis Colts — fired their coaches and began a search for a new leader.
The Lions on Monday dismissed Jim Caldwell, who will leave the team despite having a winning record of 36-28 after four years. Within hours, another veteran coach, John Fox, was ousted by the Bears.
Caldwell and Fox join Chuck Pagano of the Colts and Jack Del Rio of the Raiders, who were fired after their teams’ final games on Sunday.
Bruce Arians, the coach of the struggling Arizona Cardinals (8-8), announced his retirement Monday. Last month, the Giants dismissed their coach, Ben McAdoo, who was hired in 2016.
