Packers hiring former Patriots defensive coordinator DeMarcus Covington as a defensive assistant coach on Matt LaFleur's staff

The Dallas Cowboys were reportedly among the teams interested in Mike Vrabel before he became head coach of the New England Patriots. According to

Robert Saleh left the Jacksonville Jaguars years ago to become the 49ers defensive coordinator. It appears he's returning to that job in the Bay Area.

The Dallas Cowboys ended their 11-day search for a new head coach on Friday, surprising the NFL by elevating their offensive coordinator since 2023, Brian Schottenheimer, to the top job. Despite never holding a head coach’s position after 14 years as an offensive coordinator with four different teams,

Packers linebackers coach Anthony Campanile is a top candidate to join new Jaguars coach Liam Coen's staff as defensive coordinator.

When the NFL regular season comes to a close, it sends the head-coaching carousel into high gear. The 2025 cycle is in full swing and began with seven openings across the NFL.  The cycle kicked off with the New England Patriots hiring Mike Vrabel after moving on from Jerod Mayo after one season,

The Cowboys spoke to Deion Sanders and interviewed Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore, former New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh, and former Minnesota Vikings head coach Leslie Frazier before ultimately settling on Schottenheimer as the new lead man in Dallas.

The Miami Dolphins will be facing two new head coaches in the AFC East in the 2025 season: the New England Patriots' Mike Vrabel and New York Jets' Aaron Glenn. Interestingly, both coaches are former players for the respective teams that hired them.

The Patriots lucked out in hiring Mike Vrabel, according to the latest intel regarding the Jets head coach search.

Johnson is the flashiest play-caller to land an NFL head coaching job since Kyle Shanahan joined the San Francisco 49ers in 2017, and Shanahan has never had a quarterback as talented as Williams at his disposal. This should get Bears fans incredibly excited for what could be.
