Looking at pros and cons for the Bears, Jaguars, Jets, Patriots, Raiders and Saints.
With only six openings in this year’s NFL head coaching carousel, the industry will breathe a momentary sigh of relief before realizing that we are very likely in for much more turnover next year. This season reminds me a lot of the 2023 cycle in which only five jobs came open.
What never seems to change is that some of these teams are desirable landing spots for candidates while others are not. Thankfully, we have started to see some coaches in high regard simply ignore openings in places with a deep history of failure or ineptitude. Perhaps at some point, the embarrassment of getting left hanging will force a correction organically in certain places.
* As of the publication of this column, the Dallas Cowboys have reportedly denied head coach Mike McCarthy’s ability to speak with other teams but have not signed him to an extension. This is very likely an old-time, carnival barker way for Jerry Jones to get some attention for his increasingly irrelevant franchise while he draws up some kind of amenable, short-term extension.
While this job involves taking on a general manager, Wolf spent the first 13 years of his career in the Green Bay Packers’ successful personnel incubator. A new head coach will get to immediately come in and ride the wave of popularity having spent money in the offseason and ushered in a new top-five pick. The most direct comparisons will be to that head coach and Mayo, and not the new head coach and Belichick.
