There are currently 9 open head coaching jobs in the NFL, and the first domino is reportedly falling with the news that John Harbaugh is finalizing a deal to become the New York Giants’ next head coach. Harbaugh was considered the top target for several teams looking to make a change. He was let go by the Baltimore Ravens after 18 seasons, and reportedly had big demands for his next team.
The New York Giants will now be on their 5th head coach(not counting two interims) since Tom Coughlin was fired during the 2015 season. There has not been a lot of success associated with that franchise over the last decade, and ownership has continued to try different people with similar results. Brian Daboll was fired during another disappointing season with offensive coordinator Mike Kafka taking over to play out the string.
Every NFC East team will have at least one new coach next season, but the Giants were the only one replacing their head coach. The Washington Commanders fired defensive coordinator Joe Whitt Jr. and they’re still looking for his replacement. They “mutually agreed to part ways” with offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury, and hired assistant QB coach David Blough to replace him. The Eagles are looking for a new OC, and the Cowboys need a DC. Fun times in the division.
