NFL coach hot seat rankings entering Week 5: Doug Pederson tops list; all eyes on Nick Sirianni

We are just four weeks through the 2024 NFL regular season, but there are franchises already feeling the pressure. The Cincinnati Bengals and Miami Dolphins envisioned better starts to their seasons, the Los Angeles Rams are struggling with injuries and the Cleveland Browns have a Deshaun Watson problem.
