Five NFL teams are officially searching for their next head coach. The common DNA of these organizations is not just bad plays, but missed potential. Chicago, New Orleans, and new york jets The Patriots and Jaguars, who fired their coach midway through the season, moved to formally launch a search, joining the Patriots and Jaguars, who fired their coaches during the league's “Black Monday” period.
It's important to note that not everyone can get a job interview right now. The most coveted candidates are currently on the playoff staff, meaning they cannot formally interview until the season officially ends. However, teams can submit interview requests, but these are masked with an asterisk. The same applies to coaches currently under contract with other teams. These candidates can only be interviewed if approved by their current team and are also marked with an asterisk.
