As the NFL offseason approaches, speculation around head coaching vacancies intensifies. Key candidates like Mike McCarthy could be in line for a comeback with the New Orleans Saints, potentially revitalizing quarterback Derek Carr amid a rebuilding phase. Aaron Glenn is a leading contender for the New York Jets, although his ties to the Detroit Lions may draw him back. Meanwhile, Liam Coen’s success with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers could position him to rejuvenate the Jacksonville Jaguars' running game alongside Travis Etienne and Tank Bigsby.

In Dallas, the Cowboys may shift their focus from pursuing a trade for Shedeur Sanders to looking at Deion Sanders as head coach. The possibility of Kellen Moore returning adds another layer of intrigue to Dallas' coaching landscape. Meanwhile, Ben Johnson's preference for the Las Vegas Raiders over the Chicago Bears job raises questions about the appeal of each franchise. The Minnesota Vikings face quarterback uncertainty and must decide if they will franchise Sam Darnold or pivot to J.J. McCarthy, while the Cleveland Browns grapple with drafting a new QB following Deshaun Watson’s injury.
