Typically, after the final weekend of the NFL regular season, there are seven or eight head-coaching positions open. So if there is a bet to be made on that this year, here’s my advice—take the under.

Part of it is how the quick head-coaching turnover has sapped the pipeline dry. Part of it is that owners who’ve been through a lot of turnover over this decade losing their appetite for fired staffs.
