Andy Reid of the Kansas City Chiefs is now the longest-tenured active head coach in the NFL, with the two fixtures above him on the list unseated.
Mike Tomlin sat atop the throne until Tuesday when he resigned from the Pittsburgh Steelers after 19 seasons. John Harbaugh was the next-longest-tenured head coach before the Baltimore Ravens fired him Jan. 6 at the end of his 18th season.

With Tomlin and Harbaugh out of the picture, only six head coaches hired before 2020 remain in their positions.
Furthermore, 10 teams have hired a head coach within the last two years and another nine are on the hunt going into 2026. That means that at least 59% of the NFL will enter next season with a first-, second-, or third-year head coach.
