3 Bold Predictions for the NFL Coaching Carousel

3 Bold Predictions for the NFL Coaching Carousel

We are one day into a three-day Wild Card Weekend, and Saturday’s slate both lived up to the hype and created even more questions within the NFL coaching carousel.

Right now, the league has eight head coach openings, with the most recent being the Miami Dolphins after their surprise firing of Mike McDaniel. That one came after the even bigger surprise of the Baltimore Ravens moving on from John Harbaugh.

Nobody has been hired yet, and, as it turns out, we may not even be done with the firings.

The Green Bay Packers’ historic collapse against the Chicago Bears has...

The Cowboys have had success with the 20th pick in the draft

The Cowboys have had success with the 20th pick in the draft

The NFC Playoff picture is two teams shorter after the Los Angeles Rams knocked off the hosting Carolina Panthers in a 34-31 thriller.

Later that evening, another ESPN Instant Classic was held at Soldier Field, where Caleb Williams and the Bears erased a 21-6 deficit in the second half to defeat the visiting Green Bay Packers.

Even though the Dallas Cowboys won’t be on the field this postseason, I’m happy that the other teams have already made the postseason so entertaining.

As Cowboys fans, we can now turn our attention to the NFL Draft in April, and begin deciding which...

Cowboys free agency: What to do with the impending offensive free agents

Cowboys free agency: What to do with the impending offensive free agents

With the dismissal of defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus, the reconstruction of the Dallas Cowboys is officially underway. As the playoffs begin this weekend, the Cowboys have their eyes elsewhere and look to fix what was a flawed roster that led to a disappointing losing season. Decisions on high-priced veterans will be made, and contracts will either be restructured or terminated altogether.

The Cowboys also have to determine if some players on expiring contracts are worth keeping or setting them free for the open market. Per Spotrac, the Cowboys have eight offensive players who are coming up on free agency, with...

The 12th pick in the draft has been good to the Cowboys

The 12th pick in the draft has been good to the Cowboys

The Dallas Cowboys and fans can finally put their full view on the 2026 NFL Draft after their draft slots have been set in stone.

A Carolina Panthers loss at home to the Los Angeles Rams locked the NFC South champions with the 19th pick in the draft.

The Green Bay Packers thrilling loss at Soldier Field locks them into the 20th draft spot, and thanks to the Micah Parsons trade, that pick belongs to the Cowboys.

Dallas’ own pick sits at 12, so Will McClay & Co. will have two picks in the top 20 to try and get...

Previewing Day 2 of the NFL Wild Card Weekend Slate

If you’re Roger Goodell, you’re probably throwing a party in your New York City mansion after the electrifying football we saw yesterday. Day one of the NFL Wild Card weekend was as resounding a success as you can have.

The Los Angeles Rams and potential MVP Matthew Stafford willed their way to a last-second victory over an incredibly gritty Carolina Panthers team, while Caleb Williams’ Bears somehow overcame a 15-point deficit to send Green Bay packing.

Quite literally, these two Saturday games could not have been more fun to watch.

Now, it is on the Sunday slate to keep the...

Cowboys 2026 draft: Top first-round cornerbacks in the draft

Cowboys 2026 draft: Top first-round cornerbacks in the draft

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

Mansoor Delane, LSU

Strengths:

Solid, calm press corner with good mirror abilities and closing burst. After a steady 2023 at Virginia Tech, he turned the corner in 2024 and then became LSU’s shutdown corner in 2025 with 45 tackles, 11 pass breakups, and two interceptions. The tape...

Sonny Styles—2026 Cowboys Scouting Report

Sonny Styles—2026 Cowboys Scouting Report

When I evaluate Sonny Styles, the Ohio State linebacker, for fit on the Dallas Cowboys, I’m not going into this thinking he is a throwback linebacker.

We all know Dallas doesn’t need that type of linebacker, but what they do need is a second-level defender who can survive in space, communicate, and stay on the field in sub-packages.

Styles will check those boxes.

This is a modern WILL linebacker who fits where the Cowboys’ defense is headed, not where we saw it last season.

Marcus Spears has bold coaching fix for Cowboys after Matt Eberflus flop – Jared A’Latorre, The Landry Hat

Ex-Cowboy has a daring take of who should be their next defensive coordinator.

The Dallas Cowboys are on the hunt for a new defensive coordinator after Matt Eberflus was fired less than 48 hours after the season finale loss against the New York Giants. Former Cowboys defensive end Marcus Spears has a solution that fans may like, and it makes sense.

On ESPN’s NFL Live, Marcus Spears was asked who should be the Cowboys’ next defensive coordinator, and...

Dallas’ demise in 2025 directly tied to the fall of its defense

Dallas’ demise in 2025 directly tied to the fall of its defense

There are two primary suspects in solving the case of how the Dallas Cowboys’ 2025 season imploded into the 7-9-1 train wreck it became.

The obvious suspect is Jerry Jones.

He assembled the roster that went out and underwhelmed this season. The other is no longer on the team.

Matt Eberflus’ one-year stint as Dallas’ defensive coordinator augured into the ground at high speed in less than a year.

In his defense, he was left scrambling when Jones traded away the player Eberflus was intending to build his scheme around right before the season opened.

Not many coaches can overcome...

Dallas Cowboys NFL draft order 2026: Packers’ pick from Micah Parsons trade finalized

The Green Bay Packers lost their Wild Card matchup against the Chicago Bears on Saturday night and as a result their season has now officially come to an end.

What a shame! That is terrible!

In all seriousness, we have been closely monitoring the Packers this season as the Dallas Cowboys hold their first-round pick this year as a result of the Micah Parsons trade. A reminder that Dallas also owns Green Bay’s first-rounder in 2027, but the Cowboys sent the better of their first-round picks in 2027 (as in whichever pick is earlier) to the New York Jets in...
