NFL coaching and management struggles highlighted in Week 7

As the NFL season progresses into Week 7, several franchises are facing significant leadership and management challenges. Following the dismissal of Indianapolis Colts General Manager Chris Ballard after a loss to the Tennessee Titans, attention has turned to head coaches facing increasing pressure.

In the NFC, the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles are noted for their struggles. Brian Schottenheimer of the Cowboys faces scrutiny as the team appears unprepared despite a roster capable of winning the NFC East. Meanwhile, the Eagles have lost four consecutive games, compounded by Jalen Hurts being sidelined for the remainder of the season due to blood clots, leading to questions regarding Nick Sirianni’s coaching and play-calling.

Other organizational issues include the Los Angeles Chargers, where suggestions have been made for head coach Jim Harbaugh to take more direct control over offensive play-calling to resolve current inefficiencies.
