This year, eight NFL teams decided to make a head coaching change. The teams that hire a new head coach are rarely in a position to win – these are not gorgeous new condos, these are fixer-uppers with creaky floorboards and cobweb-filled basements.
As a quick reminder, these are the NFL’s new head coaches for the 2019 season:
- Arizona Cardinals: Hired Kliff Kingsbury to replace Steve Wilks.
- Cincinnati Bengals: Hired Zac Taylor to replace Marvin Lewis.
- Cleveland Browns: Hired Freddie Kitchens to replace Hue Jackson / Gregg Williams(interim).
- Denver Broncos: Hired Vic Fangio to replace Vance Joseph.
- Green Bay Packers: Hired Matt LaFleur to replace Mike McCarthy / Joe Philbin (interim).
- Miami Dolphins: Hired Brian Flores to replace Adam Gase.
- New York Jets: Hired Adam Gase to replace Todd Bowles.
- Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Hired Bruce Arians to replace Dirk Koetter.
Recently, we asked PFR readers to choose which coach would have the most success in 2019, and Kitchens got the vote of confidence with LaFleur as the runner-up. Now, we want to know which coach you believe will have the least success in 2019.
Kingsbury finished at the bottom of the aforementioned poll, which is understandable given the Cardinals’ last-place finish in 2018 and Kingsbury’s lack of NFL experience. However, one has to think that Flores has his work cut out for him in Miami as well – the Dolphins are clearly rebuilding and are not in a position to win in 2019.

Congrats to the Cardinals. Only team with 2 head coaches

I’m not sure how anyone could vote for LaFleur here. You’re kidding yourself if you think the Pack will be worse than AZ, MIA or CIN
did you watch GB and Rodgers last year? he’s over the hill and a selfish cancer.
Lol what a stupid response.
Its a double headed monster in Arizona. Typical Zach Links masterpiece.
Well you get what you pay for. Now please go away!
Denver is going to be horrible. Elway cannot seem to find a QB. The SB defense is now all gone. I think in the afc west battle for last will be won by Denver. Not the coaches fault. There is no current “mainstream ownership. Blame Elway.
Adam Gase. He’s going to a “meh” Jets team, and he wasn’t good in Miami.
Tampa is really going to suffer without a proper QB and in a rough division. They’re probably going to be in the best spot to take Tua in ‘20.
How about a poll on which NFL coach is most likely to get arrested by the fashion police? The photo suggests Kingsbury is going to present “The Hoodie” with a strong challenge this year.
