At writing, the list of NFL teams searching for their next head coach was up to six with the list of teams looking like this.

It should be interesting to see who’s hired for these jobs as some of them are really good jobs. Look for names like Mike Vrabel, Joe Brady, Aaron Glenn, Liam Coen, Pete Carroll, Kliff Kingsbury and Brian Flores to be hot names this offseason.
