And then there were two. The offseason started with a robust 10 teams looking for a new head coach. Over the past couple weeks, eight of those teams have found their coach. Two remain. The Las Vegas Raiders and the Arizona Cardinals.
New York Giants: John Harbaugh
Atlanta Falcons: Kevin Stefanski
Miami Dolphins: Jeff Hafley
Tennessee Titans: Robert Saleh
Baltimore Ravens: Jesse Minter
Pittsburgh Steelers: Mike McCarthy
Cleveland Browns: Todd Monken
Buffalo Bills: Joe Brady
Las Vegas Raiders: ?
Arizona Cardinals: ?
I believe that all of the teams that didn’t hire Minnesota Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores are idiots. Only the Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers even interviewed him. That’s crazy. I’m thankful for the idiocy. While I wish that there was much more diversity among the new head coaches, I get all of the hires except the Steelers hiring Mike McCarthy. The team that has had only three coaches over the past 57 years hired a coach that I believe they’ll have to fire within four years. Maybe Art Rooney II made a fine choice on an uninspiring old coach? I have many doubts.
Anyway, here’s a guess at the two remaining head coach vacancies.
Las Vegas Raiders: Klint Kubiak
Arizona Cardinals: Klint Kubiak
Both teams can’t hire Klint Kubiak! I have little doubt that Kubiak is going to get one of the remaining two jobs. The Raiders and Cardinals are two of the least appealing teams in the league. Raiders owner Marc Davis and Cardinals owner Michael Bidwill are two of the worst owners in the league. I feel bad for any coach that has to deal with them. There are only 32 of these jobs and even the least appealing of them are desired. Kubiak is getting one of them. Best of luck. Since he can’t get both, here’s a real guess at the remaining vacancies.
Las Vegas Raiders: Klint Kubiak
Arizona Cardinals: Mike LaFleur
It looks like another year of snowy white coaching hires. Hopefully, Anthony Weaver and/or Ejiro Evero gets one of these jobs.
