The Atlanta Falcons are reportedly firing head coach Raheem Morris after the team's Week 18 win over the Saints.
The Falcons are the third team to fire their head coach during the 2025 NFL season after the Tennessee Titans and New York Giants also made changes. Seven teams made changes after last season, so more moves could be coming.
Here's everything you need to know about the latest NFL head coach movement.
Atlanta Falcons
Former coach: Raheem Morris (fired Jan. 4)
What happened: The Falcons fired Morris and general manager Terry Fontenot after two straight disappointing seasons, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Sunday night.
Their exits came hours after Atlanta wrapped up an 8-9 season with a 19-17 win over the Saints. Fontenot had been with the Falcons since 2021; Morris was hired in 2024.
New York Giants
Former coach: Brian Daboll (fired Nov. 10)
Interim coach: Mike Kafka
What happened: Giants coach Brian Daboll was fired after the team blew another double-digit lead in Chicago.
It was the second time this season the Giants lost after leading by at least 10 points with under four minutes remaining. They became only the second team since the NFL merger to do that, joining the 2004 Seahawks.
The Giants (2-8) won only two of their first 10 games for the third straight year. They are 11-33 since the start of the 2023 season.
Tennessee Titans
Former coach: Brian Callahan (fired Oct. 13)
Interim coach: Mike McCoy
What happened: The Titans fired coach Brian Callahan just six games into his second season as the team's head coach.
Callahan finishes with a 4-19 record as the Titans' coach, including 1-5 this season with 2025 No. 1 pick Cam Ward as the team's starting quarterback.
"After extended conversations with our owner and general manager, we met with Brian Callahan this morning to tell him we are making a change at head coach," president of football operations Chad Brinker said in a statement. "These decisions are never easy, and they become more difficult when they involve people of great character. We are grateful for Brian's investment in the Titans and Tennessee community during his tenure as head coach. We thank him and his family for being exemplary ambassadors of the Tennessee Titans."
