CINCINNATI – Todd Bowles and Zac Taylor are two coaches that appear on the hot seat year after year, and now there are betting odds for their exact firing windows in the 2026-27 season.

Bowles has won three NFC South titles but also has a 35-33 regular season record in his four seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Many expected him to be fired last season after Tampa went 2-7 to close the season and ultimately miss the playoffs, but instead fired five assistant coaches.
Entering the 2026-27 season, Bowles is firmly in the hot seat and has +240 odds to be fired during weeks 10-14. If Tampa gets out to a slow start and the defense struggles again, which Bowles calls plays for, the +600 odds for him to be fired before Week 10 are valuable.
NFL Coach Firing Odds Predict Zac Taylor Late Season Exit
Cincinnati Bengals’ head coach Zac Taylor is more likely to keep his job than Todd Bowles, -250 odds vs -185 odds to survive the season, but he’s firmly on the hot seat this season.

The Bengals are notorious for getting off to slow starts, but they snapped that trend with a 2-0 start last season. A turf toe injury plagued their season that ended 6-11, but with a revamped defense behind Dexter Lawrence and a healthy Burrow, all the pressure is on Zac Taylor to get Cincinnati back to the playoffs.
