It’s been 5+ years since the Supreme Court decision on legalized sports gambling. This year seems like lots of coaches and assistant coaches getting fired mid-season. Coincidence? (alien.top)

Is there just so much added pressure on teams to improve fans’/gamblers’ fantasy teams and sports betting outcomes? One related stat: “According to ESPN Stats & Information research, there have only been six NFL head coaches since the merger who didn't finish their first season with their team, with three of those instances having come in the past three seasons: Urban Meyer (Jaguars), Nathaniel Hackett (Broncos) and Reich.“ https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/38991151/carolina-panthers-fire-head-coach-frank-reich

as much as i hate all the gambling ads, commercials, and discussions about dumb parlay bets by announcers during the games... your conclusion that there's a relationship between gambling and coaches getting fired is unfounded
