Is Joe Brady on the hot seat?

He isn't on the hot seat but he does need to improve in certain areas including red zone play calling. He too was a rookie last year. I am hopeful he doesn't have a sophomore slump. 

Do sophomore slumps really apply to coaches?

Having a sophomore slump would lead to actual hot seat talk in 2022. 

Lots of variables, though. Is Darnold still a bust? Does our new OL fall apart? Is the defense underwhelming? Do we simply catch the injury bug and never recover? 

The red zone struggles seemed to be about 50/50 Brady and Teddy last season, for instance.

I'd say it is usually a harbinger of things to come more than anything.

Definitely. 

Lots of coaches flash in their rookie season but fall off after the rest of the league gets tape on them.
