NFL Fires Four Coaches on Black Monday
The NFL had a big day of changes on Monday.
Four teams decided to fire their head coaches because their teams didn't do well this year.
The Atlanta Falcons let go of Raheem Morris and their general manager, Terry Fontenot, even though they won four of their last games.
The Cleveland Browns said goodbye to Kevin Stefanski after six seasons with a lot of ups and downs, especially with their quarterbacks.
The Las Vegas Raiders and Washington Commanders also fired their coaches, Antonio Pierce and Dan Quinn, respectively, because their teams didn't perform as well as hoped.
