The head coach and general manager hiring cycle is in full swing ahead of Sunday’s AFC and NFC Championship games. After landing their new general manager Joe Schoen from Buffalo, the New York Giants returned to the same well, hiring Bills OC Brian Daboll as their new coach.
Daboll is the third new coach hired out of nine openings. The Broncos and Denver Bears were the first teams to strike, with the Broncos hiring former Packers offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett and the Bears locking in former Colts defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus. That leaves the Miami Dolphins, Jacksonville Jaguars, Houston Texans, New Orleans Saints, Raiders and Vikings as teams left to find head coaches. The latest report is that former Dolphins coach Brian Flores will meet with the Saints to discuss their vacancy.
It’s time to spin the coaching and front office carousel. Below, we’ll track all of the Head Coach Candidates, General Manager Candidates and where they were invited to interview.
