With regards to this year’s edition of the NFL’s Head Coach Churn, the past 48 hours have been interesting. The Las Vegas Raiders hired a coach that’s nearly twice the age of the coach the Chicago Bears hired. The Jacksonville Jaguars obliterated the intended purpose of the Rooney Rule to hire the coach they prized all along. They even fired their general manager to get him. Yesterday, the Jaguars, Raiders, and Dallas Cowboys found their new head coach. Only one team is coach-less. The New Orleans Saints are still looking for their next head coach. Here’s the current tracking of this year’s head coach and general manager churn.
Chicago Bears
Fired Head Coach Matt Eberflus midseason
Head Coach:
Hired Ben Johnson, Lions OC
After interviewing about 20 candidates, the Bears went with coach they had probably targeted all along.
Dallas Cowboys
Head Coach Mike McCarthy’s contract was not renewed
Head Coach:
Hired Brian Schottenheimer, Cowboys OC
Jacksonville Jaguars
Fired Head Coach Doug Pederson after the season. General Manager Trent Baalke was finally fired this week.
Head Coach:
Hired Liam Coen, Buccaneers OC
General Manager Interview Requests:
The Jaguars are just getting started. Apparently Coen gets to hire the team’s next GM. Nice perk for his first job.
Las Vegas Raiders
Fired Head Coach Antonio Pierce and General Manager Tom Telesco
Head Coach:
Hired Pete Carroll, former Seahawks HC
General Manager:
Hired John Spytek, Buccaneers Assistant GM
The Raiders are the only team with a first-year head coach older than their owner.
New England Patriots
Fired Head Coach Jerod Mayo
Hired Mike Vrabel, former Titans HC
The Patriots fired one of their so they could hire one of their own.
New Orleans Saints
Fired Head Coach Dennis Allen midseason
Head Coach Interview Requests:
Joe Brady, Bills OC
Aaron Glenn, Lions DC
Mike Kafka, Giants OC
Kliff Kingsbury, Commanders OC
Mike McCarthy, former Packers and Cowboys HC
Kellen Moore, Eagles OC
Darren Rizzi, Saints Interim HC
David Shaw, former Stanford HC
Anthony Weaver, Dolphins DC
The Saints are the only team without a head coach. Seeing as Aaron Glenn is the only coach they’ve interviewed that’s taken a job, they have their pick of the rest of their targets. It’s a damn shame that Glenn was probably the coach they had targeted.
New York Jets
Fired Head Coach Robert Saleh and General Manager Joe Douglas midseason
Head Coach:
Hired Aaron Glenn, Lions DC
Like the Bears, the Jets interviewed nearly 20 coaches and hired the one they probably targeted all along. Seeing as Glenn was drafted by the Jets in the first round of the 1994 NFL Draft, this feels right.
General Manager Interview Requests
Mike Borgonzi, Chiefs Assistant GM
Trey Brown, Bengals Senior Personnel Executive
Thomas Dimitroff, former Falcons GM
Ray Farmer, Rams Senior Personnel Executive
Brian Gaine, Bills Assistant GM
Mike Greenberg, Buccaneers Assistant GM
Ryan Grigson, former Colts GM
Alec Halaby, Eagles Assistant GM
Darren Mougey, Broncos Assistant GM
Jim Nagy, Reese’s Senior Bowl Executive
Lance Newmark, Commanders Assistant GM
Louis Riddick, ESPN Analyst
Jon Robinson, former Titans GM
Chris Spielman, Lions Special Assistant
Jon-Eric Sullivan, Packers VP of Player Personnel
It sounds like Darren Mougey has the job.
Tennessee Titans
Fired General Manager Ran Carthon
Hired Mike Borgonzi, Chiefs Assistant GM
