It’s Super Bowl Week. While the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles are getting ready for Super Bowl LIX, the other 30 NFL teams are firmly in the offseason. Seven teams started that offseason looking for a new head coach. Four teams were looking for a new general manager. The New Orleans Saints are the lone team still looking for their next head coach. The Jacksonville Jaguars are the lone team still looking for their next general manager. Here’s a summary of this year’s version of the NFL’s annual 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 yesterday.
Head Coach:
Hired Liam Coen, Buccaneers OC
General Manager
The Jaguars are just getting started. With no other team looking for a GM, they can be patient. A good-natured possum would be an improvement over Trent Baalke.
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
New England Patriots
Fired Head Coach Jerod Mayo
Head Coach:
Hired Mike Vrabel, former Titans HC
The Patriots fired one of their own 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 one remaining head coach opening looks like it’s heading to Kellen Moore.
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
Hired Darren Mougey, Broncos Assistant GM
Tennessee Titans
Fired General Manager Ran Carthon
General Manager:
Hired Mike Borgonzi, Chiefs Assistant GM
