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
The article you linked says nothing about gambling. It’s just about Reich being fired.
I’m not sure what connection you’re trying to draw between the two. Why would owners be motivated by gamblers?
