2023 NFL coaching tracker: News, rumors, interviews

National Football League
41 mins ago

The 2022-23 NFL regular season has come to an end, which means the coaching carousel is in full swing.

Head coaches and coordinators are on the move as teams look to bounce back from disappointing 2022 seasons. The right coach can bring instant success, as Vikings, Giants and Jaguars fans know from seeing their teams reach the playoffs under first-year head coaches this past year.

Assistant coaches whose teams are participating in the Super Bowl who previously interviewed for another club’s head-coach position may have a second interview with such team no later than Sunday, with interviews resuming Feb. 13.

Here’s a breakdown of the latest coaching and general manager changes across the league, corresponding interviews requested and scheduled, and rumored candidates for the 2023 hiring cycle.
