The 2025-2026 NFL regular season has ended, and these teams that missed the playoffs have announced changes in their front office and will be looking for new head coaches for next season.

Cleveland Browns fire Kevin Stefanski after six seasons

The Cleveland Browns announced Monday the firing of head coach Kevin Stefanski after six seasons in which he only reached the playoffs twice.

“We are deeply grateful for Kevin's leadership of the Cleveland Browns over the past six seasons. We appreciate all of his work, but our results over the last two seasons have not been satisfactory, and we believe a change at head coach is necessary,” wrote team owners Dee and Jimmy Haslam in a statement.

Stefanski, 43, arrived in Cleveland in the 2020 NFL season with the mission of ending a 13-year playoff drought. In his first year, he achieved this with an 11-5 record, although the team fell in the divisional round to the Kansas City Chiefs. That level was only repeated in the 2023 season, when the Browns qualified for the playoffs and were eliminated in the wild card round by the Houston Texans. The rest of his tenure was marked by inconsistency. In 2021, they finished with an 8-9 record, in 2022 it was 7-10, in 2024 they recorded their worst season at 3-14, and in the recently concluded season they finished with a 5-12 record. The Browns confirmed that Andrew Berry will continue as general manager and will lead the search for a new head coach. "Andrew Berry will continue to lead our operations. We are focused on building a team that will give our fans the success they have long deserved."Andrew will immediately begin a thorough process to find an exceptional new coach to lead our team," the owners concluded.

Carroll, 74, failed to turn the Raiders' fortunes around, finishing the season with a 3-14 record, the worst in the NFL, tied with the New York Jets, Tennessee Titans, and Arizona Cardinals. The head coach, who won Super Bowl XLVIII with the Seattle Seahawks, took over for the 2025 season, but adjustments to his staff didn't yield results. He fired special teams coordinator Tom McMahon on November 7 and offensive coordinator Chip Kelly on November 24, without any improvement in performance.
