- Updated: January 2, 2017
NFL Black Monday brings multiple head coaching changes every single year, and that trend promises to keep going in 2017.
With the regular season in the books, here is a look at the latest news and rumors regarding firings, as reports continue to roll in.

Chargers Preparing to Move on from Mike McCoy Sunday, Jan. 1
Although general manager Tom Telesco reportedly went to bat for head coach Mike McCoy, the Bolts intend to make a coaching change, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter (h/t NFL on ESPN).
