The NFL season officially starts two weeks from tonight, so before The Sports Den starts making it’s predictions (guesses) on how each division is going to end up, The Sports Den is going to take a look at 5 coaches who could be on the hot seat heading into the 2012 season.

1. Chan Gailey, Buffalo Bills – The last couple of season has seen the Bills get off to a good start only to fade away when its crunch time. If it happens again this season can’t see Chan Gaily keeping his job.

2. Ken Whisenhunt, Arizona Cardinals – The Cardinals made it to the Super Bowl a few years back, but have been having problems since Kurt Warner retired. They haven’t had a winning season since 2009, and still have questions at QB. It looks like trading Dominique Rodgers- Cromartie to the Eagles for Kevin Kolb may have been a mistake. Another losing season gets Whisenhunt canned in the desert.

3. Rex Ryan, Jets – The Sports Den originally posted this with Andy Reid in this spot, but after some more thought, The Sports Den doesn’t think he is going anywhere unless its his choice, so with that said we decided to change it Rex Ryan. All that we can say about this is its New York, and if things don’t go well with Mark Sanchez and Tim Tebow, Jets’ fans may tire of Ryan’s act. 
4. Jason Garrett, Cowboys –  Your job is tough enough, but with Jerry Jones being your boss it’s even tougher. Jerry Jones also doesn’t like missing the playoffs, especially with his stadium. There are some problems in Dallas heading into the season, and if they continue during the season and the Cowboys miss the playoffs again Garrett could be gone.

5. Norv Turner, Chargers – What would any list of coaches on the hot seat be without Norv Turner. He has been on just about every body’s hot seat list for the last few years, and somehow he survives. The Chargers have yet to live up to the expectations of the experts who have picked them to win the Super Bowl the last few years. The Sports Den will keep putting him on here, one of these days we will be right
