Former Las Vegas Raiders coach Antonio Pierce was appreciated for being receptive to feedback but criticized for his efficiency, while the team overall ranked fourth in the league. Meanwhile, Pittsburgh Steelers' Mike Tomlin received high praise for his team culture and efficiency, maintaining his position despite playoff struggles. Dallas Cowboys' former head coach Mike McCarthy earned an A grade for his player relationships and receptivity, yet the team struggled on the field, finishing 7-10.
