The NFL coaching carrousel is in full swing, with a bloody Black Monday and Tuesday creating five new head coach openings around the league. The New York Giants and Tennessee Titans had already fired their head coaches in-season, meaning there’s seven top jobs available right now. There have already been some shocking moves, and not every team is going to get their top candidate.

The surprising move the coaching cycle happened when the Baltimore Ravens fired John Harbaugh after 18 seasons on the job. Harbaugh will be 64 years old at the start of next season, but he’s already garnering significant interest around the league. Expect this cycle to include some “retreads” who have been fired by other teams, as well as young coaches who will get their first shot at leading a team.

The Ravens, Giants, Titans, Falcons, Cardinals, Browns, Raiders all have head coach openings right now. Teams like to cast a wide net during a head coaching search, and that leads to some wild rumors. We’ll be updating you on the most significant rumors of this coaching cycle with this post.

John Harbaugh is a favorite to land New York Giants job

He should get to pick the GM too if this happens. Harbaugh reportedly wants to coach in 2026.

Get your guesses in in the comments. I’ll go with the Miami Dolphins.

Kliff Kingsbury is a “name to watch” as Ravens’ head coaching candidate

Kingsbury was fired as the offensive coordinator of the Washington Commanders on Tuesday. Could he already be in for a promotion? This one seems like a stretch.

Jason Garrett to interview for Titans head coaching job

This is stunning, and quite frankly, hilarious. Garrett lasted 9.5 seasons as the Dallas Cowboys’ head coach before being fired following the 2019 season.

Browns require to interview Ravens OC Todd Monken

Monken’s offense looked a lot better in 2024 than 2025, but he’s still a head coaching candidate for the Cleveland Browns.

Browns to interview Seahawks DC Aden Durde

A British head coach could be fun.

Broncos DC Vance Joseph to interview for 4 head coach openings

The Broncos’ defense is incredible, and it makes sense to try to steal some of that magic away from Denver. Joseph has an 11-21 head coaching record after previously holding the top job with the Broncos.

Kevin Stefanski to interview with Falcons, Giants, Titans

Stefanski’s Giants interview is Wednesday. He feels well positioned to land another head coaching job in this cycle.

Titans line up five coaching candidates for interviews

Matt Nagy sounds like a legit candidate for the Titans

The Chiefs’ passing game offense took a big downturn after hiring Nagy, so it’s surprising that he’s getting another look after his failed stint as Chicago Bears head coach.

Seahawks OC Klint Kubiak requested for Falcons, Cardinals, Raiders, Giants jobs

He’s going to be one of the hottest young playcallers who could get a job in this cycle (Yahoo).
