NFL Coaching Changes Continue to Evolve
The NFL coaching carousel is picking up speed. Following the tumultuous Bloody Black Monday and Tuesday, five new head coaching vacancies have opened up around the league. Notably, the New York Giants and Tennessee Titans decided to part ways with their head coaches during the season, leaving a total of seven prime positions unoccupied. Some of the transitions have been quite surprising, and not every team will likely secure a top-tier candidate.
A standout moment in this coaching shuffle came when the Baltimore Ravens surprisingly let go of John Harbaugh after an impressive 18 years with the team. Harbaugh will turn 64 ahead of next season, yet he’s already seen considerable interest from various teams. This coaching cycle might feature not only younger coaches hoping for their first big break but also those who have been fired from other teams looking for another chance.
The Ravens, Giants, Titans, Falcons, Cardinals, Browns, and Raiders all currently have openings for head coaches. Teams often cast a wide net during their search, which tends to stir up a fair share of rumors. This piece aims to keep you informed about the most notable conjectures in this coaching cycle.
John Harbaugh: A Potential Fit for the Giants?
If he ends up with the Giants, it’s likely he’ll also consider a general manager position. Reports indicate that Harbaugh may be aiming to take on a coaching role in 2026.

This one’s a bit unexpected and honestly quite amusing. Garrett, who spent nearly a decade as head coach of the Dallas Cowboys before his dismissal in 2019, is now interviewing for the Titans’ position.

Although Monken’s offense performed better in 2024 compared to 2025, he’s still being considered as a candidate for the Browns’ head coaching position.
