NFL Coaching News: The Coaching Carousel is in Full Swing
The NFL's coaching carousel is in full swing, with nine head coaching vacancies and more than a quarter of the league making a coaching change. The Pittsburgh Steelers' Mike Tomlin has stepped down after 19 seasons, and the Baltimore Ravens' John Harbaugh was fired after 18 seasons, both of which are among the most high-profile moves. But here's where it gets controversial: the Steelers have requested to interview Nathan Scheelhaase, the Rams' 35-year-old passing-game coordinator, and Chris Shula, his 39-year-old defensive coordinator, for the head coaching position. This has sparked debate among fans and analysts, who question whether these candidates are ready for the challenge.
The Dolphins have also been busy, hiring ex-Packers executive Jon-Eric Sullivan as their next general manager and beginning the process of replacing Mike McDaniel. They have already interviewed Kevin Stefanski and Klint Kubiak, and are set to meet with Robert Saleh, Anthony Campanile, Patrick Graham, Jeff Hafley, Jesse Minter, and Kelvin Sheppard. The Cardinals, Browns, and Raiders have also made moves, firing Jonathan Gannon, Kevin Stefanski, and Pete Carroll, respectively.
With so many changes in the coaching ranks, it's important to stay up-to-date on the latest rumors, interviews, and hires.
