...according to Vic Carucci @ NFL.COM:

Top five coaches

1. Norv Turner, San Diego: He continues to do an outstanding job of keeping the Chargers consistently sharp and unified.

2. Wade Phillips, Dallas: Despite constant media discussion about his job security, all Phillips does is guide his team into the postseason.

3. John Fox, Carolina: Despite constant media discussion about his job security, Fox has the Panthers on the roll. After leading them to a lopsided victory vs. his former team, the Giants, he should have no worries about his future with the Panthers.

4. Bill Belichick, New England: That was a statement victory over Jacksonville, and the statement is that Belichick's team could be very dangerous in the playoffs.

5. Eric Mangini, Cleveland: Maybe he can't do anything to save his job, but leading the Browns to three wins in a row is worthy of recognition.

» The Carolina Panthers' coaching situation is something to watch. It isn't because the Panthers want to dump John Fox, as many in the media have speculated. As I'm hearing it from various NFL sources, it could very well be a case of Fox not wanting to remain with an organization that might not necessarily provide him with the resources to turn things around.

This is more interesting from the article.

He had a resource he was not willing to use.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Yeah they were bad QBs - but QB's that stayed on their teams for several years.  BY is better than all of those.

      This is the right move even if you think Bryce isn't the future. Everything except signing him to a long term deal until proven otherwise. There's a decent chance we have a shot to draft a QB next year that we like.

      If we're still bad enough that Canales gets fired, especially if it's during the season, there is no way we could ever attract any HC worthy of the job if we told them they had to keep Bryce their first year. That would be 2 coaches he's gotten fired and 4 years of not performing up to par. I still say replace both of them next offseason.  I like Canales the man and I think he's done an absolutely outstanding job at fixing our locker room issues, as it was really bad before he showed up.  But I just don't see it from him with his in game decision making, I think he's held us back just as much as Bryce has, just in different ways. Canales was our Dan Campbell, the coach you hire to turn the franchises culture around for the HC after them to inherit and take to the next level.   The difference was he had some elite coordinators early on and really let him focus on his "leader of men" role as opposed to the X's and O's that Canales does himself and it's turned out well for him.
