Seems like I remember doing something like this last year. There weren't quite as many openings last year though. So -- THIS year there are currently nine (9), count 'em, nine HC openings so far. And the season is not over. Interviews are just now starting for the teams that are not currently involved in the playoffs. Coaches of teams that played last week can do video interviews and live interviews can start tomorrow (I think..??).
Anyway here is a list (currently) of the teams that will be on the hunt for a HC.
ARIZONA CARDINALS -- Fired HC Jonathon Gannon (3 years - 15-36 W-L record (reg. season))
ATLANTA FALCONS -- Fired HC Raheem Morris (2 years - 16-18 W-L record (reg. season))
BALTIMORE RAVENS -- Fired HC John Harbaugh (18 years - 180-113 W-L record (reg. season) 13-11 W-L (playoffs) - 1 Super Bowl)
CLEVELAND BROWNS -- Fired HC Kevin Stefanski (6 years - 45-56 W-L record (reg. season) 1-2 W-L (playoffs))
LAS VEGAS RAIDERS -- Fired HC Pete Carroll (1 year - 3-14 W-L record (reg. season))
MIAMI DOLPHINS -- Fired HC Mike McDaniel (4 years - 35-33 W-L record (reg. season) 0-2 W-L (playoffs))
NY GIANTS -- Fired HC Brian Daboll (Mid-season - 3 1/2 years - 20-40-1 W-L record (reg.season) 1-1 W-L (playoffs))
PITTSBURGH STEELERS -- HC Mike Tomlin resigned (19 years - 193-114-2 W-L record (reg. season) 8-12 W-L (playoffs) - 1 Super Bowl)
TENNESSEE TITANS -- Fired HC Brian Callahan (Mid-season - 1 1/2 years - 4-19 W-L record (reg.season))
There are several HCs here that are surprising and a couple of them are VERY surprising. Both John Harbaugh and Mike Tomlin are shocking. Harbaugh was fired and Tomlin QUIT. In addition, Pete Carroll surprised me because he wasn't really given a chance. He was like a sacrificial lamb. Strange.... Raheem Morris (Falcons) surprised me as well. Only two years and the Falcons had started to 'jell'. They looked pretty decent the last half of the year.
So what are you thinking about these HCs. Who gets another chance in 2026 ..... and where.?? Who are the rest of these teams going to hire...?? New, untested HCs..??
