5 Big NFL Questions for 2026

NFL Coaches Under the Most Pressure in 2026

Every NFL coach faces pressure. But not all pressure is the same. Some coaches are fighting to save their jobs. Others are trying to break through and win a Super Bowl. And some inherited championship-caliber teams where anything less than a title will be viewed as a failure. On this episode, Brad Fowler tells which NFL coaches have the most to prove entering the 2026 season and explains why every situation is different. From Aaron Glenn trying to save his job with the Jets, to Zac Taylor attempting to maximize Joe Burrow's championship window, to Joe Brady in Buffalo and Jesse Minter in Baltimore taking over teams built to win immediately. We also discuss whether Nick Sirianni, Todd Bowles, Shane Steichen, Dave Canales, and Matt LaFleur belong in the conversation while exploring the difference between coaching to keep your job and coaching to win a championship. Topics Covered • The different tiers of pressure for NFL coaches with the most to prove entering the 2026 season • Why Aaron Glenn may have the hottest seat in the NFL • Why Joe Brady and Jesse Minter inherited two of the toughest jobs in football • Is Zac Taylor running out of time with Joe Burrow? • Why Nick Sirianni still faces enormous expectations despite winning a Super Bowl • Which coaches are coaching for their jobs—and which are chasing championships Presented by Props.Cash Use promo code PGF25 for 25% off your first month.
