With just one day of games left in the 2024 regular season, it’s almost time to move into offseason mode for 18 of the NFL’s 32 teams. Realistically, some of them already have, especially those who have made changes to the head coach or general manager positions. And because that’s what we do here, we’ll let you know exactly what jobs are available and who might be a candidate for them.
Instead of reviewing reports scattered on social media, CBSSports.com has collected all those reports of interest in one place. Below, we’ll track all of the coordinator, head coach and general manager candidates and where they were asked to interview.
Chicago fired Matt Eberflus after his Thanksgiving clock-management debacle against the division rival Lions. Interim head coach Thomas Brown had been doing well as offensive coordinator, but the team has taken another step back since he was promoted for the second time this season. The next Bears coach will have the opportunity to work with Caleb Williams and some talented players on defense, but there is still a need for vast improvement on offense.
New Orleans fired Dennis Allen in early November following the team’s seventh straight loss. Former special teams coach Darren Rizzi has been acting as interim head coach, and the team has actually gone 3-4 with Rizzi at the helm. The Saints, as always, have a lot of work to do to meet the salary cap this offseason, and it looks like they might finally be entering rebuild mode.
The Jets hired their former general manager, Mike Tannenbaum, as well as former Vikings general manager Rick Spielman, to help them with their dual GM and coaching search. They have already begun interviewing for both vacancies after firing both head coach Robert Saleh and general manager Joe Douglas earlier this season.
