When the Miami Dolphins fired head coach Mike McDaniel, many expected him to either immediately land another head coaching job or take over as an offensive coordinator for one of the top NFL teams. Instead, there might be another possibility in play.

Over the weekend, Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated reported that McDaniel looms as a potential option to become the Tennessee Titans offensive coordinator if Robert Saleh was hired as head coach. On Tuesday, it was announced that Saleh would be leaving the San Francisco 49ers to take over in Tennessee.

What is particularly notable is the suddenness of...

Another San Francisco 49ers coaching search is underway for a defensive coordinator after Robert Saleh left to become the Tennessee Titans coach. It’s a familiar situation for coach Kyle Shanahan, who already might ahve a top choice to become the 49ers defensive coordinator in 2026.

According to Tim Kawakami of The San Francisco Standard, assistant head coach Gus Bradley is the ‘top choice’ to become San Francisco’s defensive play-caller next season.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have some tough decisions to make this offseason. It starts at head coach after Mike Tomlin stepped down after 19 season in Pittsburgh. Now it appears that Pittsburgh could be zeroing in on a candidate with multiple ties to the city and organization.

Mike McCarthy will interview with the Steelers for their vacant head coach position on Wednesday, per NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.

McCarthy was a candidate with the Titans before withdrawing his candidacy on Monday morning. He has also turned down other inquiries.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports the Packers requested an interview with Vikings pass game coordinator/DBs coach Daronte Jones for their DC opening.

Jones has already interviewed with the Cowboys and Jets for their DC openings this cycle as well. He’s the first known interview for Green Bay’s DC vacancy after Jeff Hafley was hired by the Dolphins as head coach.

Jones, 46, started as a graduate assistant at Lenoir-Rhyne in 2001 before working at Nicholls State and Bowie State.

He later was a graduate assistant at UCLA in 2010 before transitioning to the CFL with the Montreal Alouettes as a...

Artificial intelligence has predicted how Fernando Mendoza’s NFL career will play out. And if you firmly believe in AI simulations, let’s just say it’s a good time to be a Las Vegas Raiders fan.

Fernando Mendoza put a cherry on top of his legendary Heisman Trophy-winning season on Monday. Mendoza led the Indiana Hoosiers to the program’s first national championship, holding off the Miami Hurricanes for a thrilling 27-21 victory.

A bloody lip caused by a vicious hit wasn’t enough to stop Mendoza, who remained calm and poised throughout the biggest game of his life.

Mendoza completed 16 of 27...

The Buffalo Bills’ 2025 season is over, putting the 2026 NFL Draft on tap. Brandon Beane and the front office will first have to handle free agency, but Bills Mafia now has nothing to look forward to until the draft rolls around in April.

Despite their perennial success over the last half-decade, the Bills have several clear roster holes that went unaddressed in the 2025 offseason. Buffalo has still not gotten Josh Allen a bona fide No. 1 receiver to work with, while its offensive line continues to be subpar in pass protection.

The Bills’ most obvious issues will be...

A former running back of the Pittsburgh Steelers has earned himself another pro opportunity.

Former Pittsburgh Steelers running back Anthony McFarland Jr. has found a new professional home, being drafted by the Birmingham Stallions in the 2026 UFL Draft.

The Steelers’ fourth-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, McFarland spent four seasons with the club, playing in 17 games and rushing...

Every time a linebacker comes up with the Dallas Cowboys, the conversation immediately turns to speed, upside, and highlight plays.

And why wouldn’t it? Doesn’t everyone want that type of player roaming the second level?

I would love for the Cowboys to get that in the first, but if that player isn’t available, I’m not chasing and overdrafting.

I would chase a linebacker later in the draft. I would chase a linebacker archetype this defense has missed for a few years.

The Type of Linebacker the Cowboys Have Missed

[The kind of player the Cowboys are missing at...

The Steelers making the playoffs impeded their search for a new head coach in obvious ways. But it continues to affect it in less obvious ways. HC Mike Tomlin didn’t even resign until the day after the Wild Card Round. But because they weren’t already active, they missed a key window for certain teams, Albert […]

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin resigned after 19 seasons, forcing the storied franchise into an NFL coaching carousel that at one point tied the record for the most head-coaching vacancies in a year. While it is still early in the Steelers coaching search, there is more insight into who could be a potential option.

According to Mark Maske of The Washington Post, Minnesota Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores is viewed as a serious contender to replace Tomlin as the Steelers head coach in 2026. However, he is not the only name who could be a top candidate for Pittsburgh....

The Pittsburgh Steelers wasted no time in beginning the search for their next head coach.

Following the Buffalo Bills 33-30 loss to the Denver Broncos in the AFC Divisional Round on Saturday, much of the discourse has centered on Josh Allen, particularly in regards to how much sympathy or blame he deserves for the loss.
