Two\u00a0NFL\u00a0insiders expect a significant amount of\u00a0NFL coaches\u00a0to receive their pink slips after the regular season concludes on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Three NFL coaches have already been fired during the regular season: Robert Saleh of the New York Jets (replaced by Jeff Ulbrich), Dennis Allen of the New Orleans Saints (replaced by Darren Rizzi) and Matt Eberflus of the Chicago Bears (replaced by Thomas Brown).<\/p>\n

Dan Graziano and Jeremy Fowler of ESPN were asked to guess\u00a0how many head coaches\u00a0will be let go and replaced after Week 18. For starters, Graziano projects that eight new positions will open up:<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m going to say eight. The Bears, Saints and Jets are already open. The other potential openings I\u2019m watching are the Cowboys, Jaguars, Raiders, Patriots, Colts and Giants. That\u2019d be nine if they all came open, so I\u2019m hedging a bit by saying eight.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Fowler, on the other hand, thinks we\u2019ll see seven NFL coaches get let go following Sunday\u2019s action:<\/p>\n

    I\u2019m going to go under your total and say seven \u2014 the three existing open jobs plus four more. How it gets there is a labyrinth. Most people I\u2019ve talked to expect the Raiders and Jaguars jobs to turn over, which gets us to five.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
