NFL Coaching Security - Who Has It?
According to this article, only one coach not named Bill Belichick.
Interesting to note that about a third of the NFL coaches are in the first full season (11), and almost the same number (10) are considered to be in a "win or else" situation entering the 2009 season. Those in that category according to this article are Carolina's John Fox, Jacksonville's Jack Del Rio, San Diego's Norv Turner, Houston's Gary Kubiak, Cincinnati's Marvin Lewis, Dallas' Wade Phillips, Buffalo's **** Jauron, Minnesota's Brad Childress, Oakland's Tom Cable, and Washington's Jim Zorn.
If I had to pick who will be the first to, my guess is Zorn. After spending all that money on Albert Haynesworth and DeAngelo Hall, Dan Snyder has probably convinced himself that Washington is a Super Bowl contender.

Bill Belichick, New England (102-42, 9 years) - He seems content for now, but someday, Belichick (under contract through 2013) will leave New England on his own terms.
