The 2024 NFL regular season ended after the Detroit Lions beat the Minnesota Vikings 31-9 in the "Sunday Night Football" finale to clinch the NFC North and the conference's No. 1 seed.
Once that result was in the books, the NFL's coaching carousel began to spin in earnest ahead of the league's annual "Black Monday."
There weren't as many coach firings as usual on the first day after the regular season. The Jacksonville Jaguars let Doug Pederson go, but most vacancies had already opened. Three coaches were fired in-season while Jerod Mayo was dismissed shortly after the New England Patriots beat the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.
