NFL Coaching, GM Tracker: All firings and interviews

The NFL off-season is in full swing for non-playoff teams.

Coaches and general managers are being fired in bunches as teams quickly look to find a new voice to lead their locker rooms.

Here is an updated tracker of all the latest news surrounding firings, interview requests, and hirings.

New England Patriots:

New England has fired first-year head coach Jerod Mayo after going 4-13.

They decided to hire another familiar face in former player, Mike Vrabel.

Vrabel has already filled out his new staff, bringing back Josh McDaniels for his second stint as offensive coordinator with the Patriots. Detroit Lions defensive line coach Terrell Williams will also join them as defensive coordinator.

Chicago Bears:

The Bears fired head coach Matt Eberflus on Nov. 29 and named Thomas Brown interim HC after a terrible turn to their season.

Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson was announced as Chicago's new leader in a press conference on Jan. 22.

The Bears will look to use his offensive abilities to try and squeeze more out of sophomore quarterback Caleb Williams. Lions wide receivers coach Antwaan Randle El will reportedly join him as an assistant head coach and lead the WRs in Chicago.

Tennessee Titans:

Tennessee owns the top pick in the 2025 draft and are heading into year two with head coach Brian Callahan. The Titans fired general manager Ran Carthon with the team in search of a new quarterback.

Kansas City Chiefs assistant general manager Mike Borgonzi has been officially hired as their new GM, the Titans announced Friday.

They have also reportedly hired a new special teams coordinator in John Fassel.

Jacksonville Jaguars:

Unsurprisingly, the Jags made a head coaching change, firing Doug Pederson after winning just five games since Week 13 of last season.

What is surprising is that the Jaguars waited to part ways with general manager Trent Baalke after initially retaining him following the end of the year, owner Shad Khan announced on Jan 22.

This came hours after head coaching candidate Liam Coen reportedly withdrew his name from their coaching search, to sign a record deal to remain in Tampa Bay.

Now, with Baalke out, Coen has agreed to become the next HC of Jacksonville, after all.

New York Jets:

The New York Jets announced they have hired Detroit Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn as their new head coach. He was drafted by the Jets 12th overall in the 1994 draft and spent time as a personnel scout with the team from 2012-2013.

The Jets fired former head coach Robert Saleh earlier in the season after a slow start with expectations outweighing the team's performance.

Their search to replace former general manager Joe Douglas still continues, here are a list of candidates interviewed to join Glenn in New York.

“He ain’t Brian no more. He is now known as the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys.”

San Francisco 49ers:

San Francisco has made major changes after finishing 6-11, their first losing season since 2020.

The biggest comes with the rehiring of former Jets head coach Robert Saleh as defensive coordinator. Saleh spent 2017-2021 with the organization in that role before leaving to become the Jets head coach. There is hope to retain previous DC Nick Sorensen, on the staff.

On the other side of the ball, Klay Kubiak was promoted from passing game specialist to offensive coordinator, the first OC in San Francisco since Mike McDaniel in 2021.

They have also parted ways with special teams coordinator Brian Schneider.

Houston Texans:

Houston Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans has reportedly parted ways with his offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik after a disappointing end to their season.

They ranked 17th in points per game with a star-studded offensive group led by quarterback C. J. Stroud.

Indianapolis Colts:

Head coach Shane Steichen and general manager Chris Ballard are safe after a middling 8-9 season but the Colts did make a change at defensive coordinator firing Gus Bradley and bringing in former Cincinnati Bengals DC Lou Anarumo.

Seattle Seahawks:

Seattle finished 10-7 and decided to make a change on the offensive side of the ball, firing offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb after just one season.
