We've written about Hue Jackson's sizzling hot seat for quite some time now, and this week the inevitable happened: The man with a career 3-36-1 record with the Browns is out the door. Now that Jackson's time in Cleveland is done, which NFL head coaching hot seat is primed to reach catastrophic temperatures?

At the moment, third-year Buccaneers head coach Dirk Koetter is thought to be the next top dog to go. Tampa Bay is currently tied for last place in the NFC South and has a mess on its hands at quarterback as the team continues to flip-flop Jameis Winston and Ryan Fitzpatrick. Koetter's future might hinge on the next two games against Carolina and division-leading Washington.
Koetter isn't alone when it comes to mid-season hot seats. Denver's Vance Joseph has just slightly longer odds to be fired next, but considering the Broncos (3-5) are looking at a four-game gauntlet of Houston, the Los Angeles Chargers, Pittsburgh, and Cincinnati, my guess is that Denver pulls the trigger before Tampa Bay.
