Head Coaching Vacancies - 2024/2025 Edition

[Coach Tuesday]

Crazy that it’s mid-November and already there are a ton of teams completely folding up the tent.  There could be double-digit head coaching vacancies this offseason which will, in turn, affect more stable teams as coaches get interviewed during the playoffs, some coordinators end up getting poached, and new regimes want new players to match their program.  
 

Trying to tally up the likely openings as of today:

 

Done Deals

NY Jets

New Orleans Saints

 

All But Over

Jacksonville Jaguars

Chicago Bears

Dallas Cowboys

 

Very Possibly Over

Las Vegas Raiders 

Carolina Panthers

Indianapolis Colts

New York Giants

Possible Surprises
Cincinnati Bengals

Cleveland Browns

Philadelphia Eagles

That is 5 near-certainties, assume 2 out of 4 from the next category and one surprise as there almost always is and you’ve got anywhere from 8-10 openings potentially in play this offseason.  Will make for a lot of turnover in the coaching world and a lot of free agents as players get jettisoned by incoming regimes.  Will be fascinating.

I think I have Jets, Saints, Cowboys, Jaguars, Bears, Giants, Bengals

 

I think Antonio Pierce and Dave Canales get another year to prove themselves. Panthers are playing better the last couple and Pierce will get the chance to work with a rookie before he gets let go. Can't see Indianapolis making a move. I would fire Daboll and Schoen but they might get another year but if it were me that job would be open.

 

I honestly think that Cincinnati makes a move off of Zac Taylor. They missed last year, Burrow is putting up MVP numbers yet they are 4-7 and I dont think Taylor is the right guy to get them over the top. Browns maybe only because its the Brown but I would give Stefanski more time and even though Sirianni is an asshat he redeemed himself after last year.

 

All in all I have 7 openings with the possibility of 8 if the Browns let Stefanski go.

Canales will get another year for sure.   I think the Colts coach will survive.  

[Doc Brown]

It would be dumb for the Colts to move off Steichen but it's Irsay so who knows.  On the flip side, the Raiders would be dumb to stick with Anotonio Pierce who was never qualified for the position.

It's an interesting situation because Burrow is thriving in Taylor's offense.  This is the team where I put my antennae up for a possible Joe Brady hire going back to his ties to LSU.
