"Once the regular season clock struck all zeroes in Week 18, NFL teams began making moves with the future of their franchises in mind. Overall, there were nine head coach openings available across the league before former Ravens HC John Harbaugh agreed to terms with the New York Giants. That left eight before the Divisional round kicks off, and we covered the first four head coaching vacancies yesterday when we began this topic. Head coaching opportunities come in all shapes and sizes, and some will be attractive, and others not so much."
"The Las Vegas Raiders wasted no time starting a new era. Just one 3-14 season after being hired, 74-year old Pete Carroll has been relieved of his duties. The Raiders fell well short of expectations. Carroll might not have been expected to go deep into the playoffs, but just three wins has forced Vegas to move in another direction. Carroll will likely get some head coach interviews elsewhere, or possibly offers for a consult role."
Nine NFL head coaching openings existed after Week 18; John Harbaugh signed with the New York Giants, reducing that number to eight before the Divisional round. Openings vary in appeal: lower-tier jobs such as Cleveland, Arizona and Tennessee likely fit coordinators seeking their first head coaching posts, while attractive destinations like Baltimore and Pittsburgh will target candidates with established reputations. The Las Vegas Raiders dismissed Pete Carroll after a 3–14 season, and Carroll may pursue other head-coaching interviews or consulting offers. The Miami Dolphins parted ways with Mike McDaniel following a 7–10 season after two initial playoff appearances.
