I've actually read/heard this from a couple of other NFL talking heads.........
If you believe this, there's a good chance at least 3 of these coaches WILL get another chance.... Rivera, McCarthy, Marvin Lewis, Jim Caldwell,
He's projecting openings........Cowboys, Giants, Commanders, Panthers, Jags, Falcons and maybe Browns, but there's always an unexpected firing or resignation ( Chargers or Broncos would be my guess)
NFL head coach candidates: Expect owners to steer clear from hiring coordinators and lean toward experience
There could be fewer openings than once expected, but expect owners to lean toward experience
Twelve months after teams were scurrying to race one another to hire the next "It guy," competing for the services of a bevy of coordinators who had never been head coaches before, we may see just the opposite occur. After watching guys like Freddie Kitchens, Zac Taylor, Brian Flores, Kliff Kingsbury and Vic Fangio struggle mightily for much of the season, with rookie head coach Matt LaFleur the lone exception – I'd anticipate NFL owners going in a largely different direction this time around.
The closer we get to Black Monday, and the more owners who send signals that they might not be up for a full-scale head coaching search – despite how acute the need for one may be – the more I can't help but wonder if we may not even see a single first-time head coach hired in 2020 (aside from college head coaches who have never done that job in the pros before). With each week it looks more likely there might be closer to six openings rather than the 10 some braced for at mid-season.
