Curle lasted longer than all of them, but was still sacked after less than a year.
Chris Kiwomya has been made caretaker boss and looks set to be given a chance to prove he deserves the top job permanently.
He will be in charge for their League One game at Stevenage tonight (7.45pm).
Former Ipswich and Arsenal player Kiwomya is also expected to be in the dug-out when Notts face Crewe at Meadow Lane on Saturday.
"Yes, of course you feel under pressure, absolutely we do," Rodwell told the Post.
"We've been through too many managers – that's a fact.
"Choosing the right man is difficult and being the manager of Notts County is a difficult job."
Several managers have already applied for the job of leading the Magpies into the Championship, but they are not going to make a rushed decision.
"I've got a list as long as your arm," added Rodwell. "The phone has been off the hook.
"It's still a very attractive job, being the manager of Notts County.
"I don't think we need to be rushed at all. We're not in a desperate situation, we're just outside the play-offs.
"We're quite relaxed about the whole thing.
"We've got somebody in as caretaker manager that we have faith in.
"We can take our time and make a little bit more of an informed decision, by spending a bit more time with people to find out if they buy into our vision for the club – if it isn't to be Chris that is, and we desperately hope it is."
