Which head coaching jobs in the NFL do you think are the most stressful

The only reason you could say Philly is because the fans are brutal.

Washington should be above them IMO because your owner even more than Jerry is doing everything he can to sabotage your success. I think NY media toughness is overrated personally.

Top 5 most:

1. Dallas - Meddling owner, tough media

2. Giants/Jets - Tough media

3. Cleveland

4. Philly

5. Washington

Top 5 least

1. Jacksonville

2. Tampa

3. Chargers

4. Arizona

5. Pittsburgh

the biggest stressor should be from thinking you may be fired without success. Garrett has a lifetime of job security for doing Nada special.

I don't think the Ravens job is generally that stressful. Harbaugh went like 5 full years of doing nothing without a peep of his job being in jeopardy until midseason last year, and now that he benched Flacco and went with Lamar nobody remembers that anymore and he's about as comfortable as a HC can be.

Also, Seahawks for obvious reasons. Pete Carroll is the oldest HC in the league and you can't tell that, and his job is pretty stress-free knowing that at any time you can just sit back and let RW win you a game by himself.

Saints would probably fall into the easier category. Tom Benson was always a hands off kind of owner. Let the football guys do football things. After he passed, it appears that Gale Benson is much the same. Loomis (and more recently Ireland) have done a really good job from a front office perspective as well with keeping things running smooth and allowing Payton to just focus on coaching.

Having a HoF QB for the last 14 years probably really helps stress levels as well lol.

Washington is by far the worst.  Every other terrible team in the league will just let you come in and give you 2-3 years minimum with like 2 wins per season which is basically free, and you genuinely have a chance at success on any of them. The only other team right now with ownership that is anywhere near as bad as Washington when it comes to butting into the head coaches Job is Dallas and at least Jerry's son seems to be good at doing it and controlling his dad.

I'm not sure, I think Cleveland is right there with #1. They fire coaches almost every year nowadays.

Jerry does nothing football related any more and hasnt for years. When will this meme die?

Washington has to be #1 because Snyder and Allen are going to interfere and leak stuff to the media whenever they feel like it.

You could argue they've underachieved relative to their fanbase but the Cowboys have been pretty well run of late with Jerry particularly taking a back seat.

Are the Giants really Top 5 worthy? The 49ers and Raiders have probably been worse over the past decade.
