There haven’t been any NFL Divisional round games played yet, but there already have been nine different head coach openings across the league.

John Harbaugh signing in New York is the first domino to fall, and there are eight openings left.

The AFC North nearly swept the entire division, with three of the four teams now needing new leadership on the sidelines.

Like most jobs, some are more attractive than others.

Today, I want to list the openings and discuss how each team ended up moving on from the head coach.

I will be working on more in-depth analysis on...

At the moment there are mime head coach openings in the NFL and one of them is within the NFC East at the New York Giants.

Obviously we have a level of interest in what the Giants do as Dallas Cowboys fans given that there are two games the team plays against them every year. The Cowboys have owned the Giants for the most part in the Dak Prescott era, so a decade now, even if they did lose a meaningless Week 18 game to them to close the most recent season.

Part of the reason for Dallas’ dominance against...

Cowboys fans have watched and learned enough to know something feels off, and the search for a new defensive coordinator definitely feels different.

This time around, the Cowboys aren’t just flirting with a couple of familiar names. We are watching the team cast a wide net, involving different coaching trees, and philosophies.

I’ve watched this cycle repeat itself more times than I care to count, and I keep coming back to the same question.

Is this a real change in philosophy, or did Brian Schottenheimer finally get a bigger say after Jerry’s last hand-picked coordinator blew up?

The Defense...

The Dallas Cowboys have 22 players with expiring contracts this offseason. They will have to make some tough decisions about who they will try to retain and who they will let walk. Some of the toughest decisions may come from their Restricted Free Agents (RFAs).

A RFA is a player who has completed three accrued seasons and has an expiring contract. They are free to negotiate and sign with any team, but the original team can extend a qualifying offer, also known as a draft tender. Each tender has a predetermined cost that is depending on which one is used....

With all the other offseason news happening right now, if you haven’t gotten the news yet, DaRon Bland, for the second time in as many years, underwent surgery on his left foot.

The surgery was performed by Dr. David Porter, a consultant for the Indianapolis Colts. Near the end of training camp in 2024, Bland had a screw inserted into his left foot to help with a stress fracture, so here we go again.

He is expected to be ready at some point in the offseason program with the focus on making sure he is 100 percent for the start...

Cowboys reach out to NFC East rivals as interview request for vacant DC gig continue – Joseph Hoyt, Dallas Morning News

Dallas has put in interview request for multiple defensive coordinator candidates within their division.

And now there are eight.

The Dallas Cowboys requested two new defensive coordinator candidates to interview on Wednesday, a person familiar with the situation told The Dallas Morning News, in Philadelphia Eagles defensive passing game coordinator Christian Parker and Charlie Bullen, who finished the season as the interim defensive coordinator for the New York Giants.

Parker, 34, has been with...

In 2025, for the second time in three seasons, Dak Prescott started every game of the NFL season for the Dallas Cowboys.

It was also the second time he’d done son in the last five seasons. In 10 NFL seasons, he’s started every game in six of them.

Prior to this season, the Cowboys hadn’t finished below .500.

If you ignored the won-loss record and focused on Prescott’s numbers alone, you might have expected him to be a leading candidate for MVP.

But 7-9-1 records don’t win MVP hardware for quarterbacks in the NFL.

An Incredible Season

[Prescott was...

With the Dallas Cowboys season coming to an end, this is a good time to continue looking at the biggest needs for the team, and who the key prospects are in the first round they could take with either of their Day 1 picks. In this edition we look at the safety position.

Caleb Downs, Ohio State

Strengths:

Downs’ superpower is that he can play multiple roles without subbing. He’s a rare no-weakness safety who plays like a defensive coordinator’s remote control. Has elite eyes and takes great angles as a tackler who arrives under control and finishes consistently....

One positive aspect of the Dallas Cowboys’ 2025 season was the performance of their running back group. Coming into the year, there were real questions about the quality of the position group, and many believed they were one of the worst running back units in all of football.

As the season went on, we learned that could not have been further from the truth, and the performance of Dallas’ running backs as a whole was one of the bright spots in a lost season.

Javonte Williams, whom the Cowboys signed to a one-year deal last spring, was the star of...

The Dallas Cowboys have been searching for a new defensive coordinator for over a week which means that it has been that long since they fired Matt Eberflus from the position in question. While the move became official on the second day of the offseason, the writing was on the wall for some time relative to Eberflus’ fate. The 2025 Cowboys defense was arguably the worst in franchise history and he had a heavy hand in that.

In case you are unaware, NFL Films and HBO have been chronicling the second half of this season through the in-season version of...

The Dallas Cowboys fired Matt Eberflus on Tuesday morning and are now on the hunt for what will be their fourth defensive coordinator in as many years.

It is going to be interesting to see how this shakes out. Brian Schottenheimer will likely want to find someone to serve as a point of stability for obvious reasons, but the defense has been so bad lately that the Cowboys can not exactly afford to be picky. Simply put, it is a hire that the organization must get right.

Jerry Jones was perceived to have had a big influence on Matt Eberflus...

The Dallas Cowboys are in the middle of looking for their next defensive coordinator, but they are hardly the only NFL team in the middle of trying to assemble a staff for the future.

Tuesday brought with it significant news across the league as a whole as Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin stepped down as their head coach. Tomlin’s run in Pittsburgh was pretty incredible, and given that he was only the third coach in their franchise’s storied history it makes their search for number four all the more interesting.

Pittsburgh’s AFC North rivals in the Baltimore Ravens are in...
