At one point, there were as many as 10 head coaching jobs available around the NFL, making this one of the busiest NFL coaching carousel cycles in recent memory. With the Super Bowl matchup now set, the carousel is still spinning — but the music is slowing, and there are only a few chairs left.
Several franchises have already made their hires, opting for stability, familiarity, or clear philosophical alignment. Others remain in wait-and-see mode, weighing finalists while monitoring how the final postseason games and interview windows shake out.
Here is a look at where things stand.
NFL Coaching Carousel: Teams with New Head Coaches
New York Giants — John Harbaugh
The Giants landed the biggest name on the market, bringing in Harbaugh after Baltimore chose to move on following nearly two decades of success. New York prioritized credibility, leadership, and a proven program builder, handing Harbaugh the keys to a full organizational reset.
Atlanta Falcons — Kevin Stefanski
Atlanta moved quickly once Stefanski became available, pairing him with a young roster that needs offensive structure and quarterback development. Stefanski’s ability to build efficient systems — even under adverse conditions — made him an easy fit for a franchise eager to stabilize.

After parting ways with Mike McDaniel, Miami pivoted toward defense and accountability. Hafley, 46, spent the past two seasons in charge of Green Bay’s defense, where he showed himself to be one of the premier defensive minds in the NFL. The Packers have since hired Jonathan Gannon to be their new defensive coordinator.
Tennessee Titans — Robert Saleh
Tennessee leaned into toughness and identity. Saleh returns to a head coaching role with a roster that needs to rediscover its defensive backbone and physical edge after drifting offensively over the past two seasons.
Baltimore Ravens — Jesse Minter
Baltimore kept things in-house philosophically, if not literally with its selection. Minter’s hire signals some potential continuity on defense and a belief that the Ravens’ championship window remains open with a fresh voice but familiar structure.
Minter spent the last two seasons in Los Angeles as the Chargers’ defensive coordinator under Jim Harbaugh, but previously spent four seasons working under John Harbaugh in Baltimore, serving in various roles on the defensive side of the ball, such as defensive assistant, assistant defensive backs coach, and defensive backs coach.
Pittsburgh Steelers — Mike McCarthy
Pittsburgh chose experience. Mike McCarthy’s arrival gives the Steelers a Super Bowl-winning head coach tasked with guiding a roster that’s been competitive but stuck in neutral. The move also quietly leaves the door open for Aaron Rodgers’ return and a reunion with his former coach in Green Bay.

Buffalo promoted from within, betting on continuity for Josh Allen and an offense that surged late in the season. Brady’s hire reflects a belief that the Bills are closer than the playoff exits suggest. Buffalo flirted with the idea of bringing former offensive coordinator Brian Daboll back and even interviewed Philip Rivers, but ultimately landed on Brady.
And Then There Were Three …
That leaves three franchises still searching, each facing a very different decision tree.
Arizona Cardinals
The Cardinals completed a second interview with Jaguars Defensive Coordinator Anthony Campanile and reportedly plan to bring in multiple candidates who were working on Sunday during the conference championships. Rams Offensive Coordinator Mike LaFleur is a name linked to the Arizona job, as is Dolphins Defensive Coordinator Anthony Weaver.

The Browns completed a second interview with Rams Pass Game Coordinator Nate Scheelhaase for the team’s head coach opening on Monday. Scheelhaase is the fourth candidate to interview for the Cleveland job. Cleveland defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz, Commanders run game coordinator Anthony Lynn, and former Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken are also reportedly in the mix for the Browns job.
Las Vegas Raiders
The Raiders remain the wild card. With the No. 1 overall pick in hand and Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza looming as the likely selection, Las Vegas is weighing how much influence its next head coach should have over the quarterback decision. That dynamic has slowed the process — but not stalled it.
Las Vegas has interviewed Broncos Offensive Coordinator Davis Webb, Seahawks Offensive Coordinator Klint Kubiak, and Broncos Defensive Coordinator Vance Joseph. With the first overall pick in tow and a new, hopeful franchise quarterback likely in the mix in 2026, a young offensive mind like Webb or Kubiak likely lands this job.
