- Nick Sirianni of the Philadelphia Eagles is dealing with severe injuries and team struggles, but given his past success and the current adversity, the recommendation is to keep him with additional advisory support.
- Shane Steichen of the Indianapolis Colts is underperforming despite having talent on the roster, and with the team needing a quarterback of the future, the verdict is to fire him to allow organizational reform.
- Aaron Glenn of the New York Jets is credited with improving the team's competitiveness despite roster flaws, so he is recommended to be retained for further development.
