NFL’s coaching carousel after Super Bowl LX

As always, when a NFL season ends, the coaching carousel begins. The league is usually unforgiving to head coaches that don’t show their worth. Franchises want to win and when they don’t, they usually fire the head coach and start anew. Also this year, the coaches’ waltz seems to have begun and the majority of the teams have already found their new head coach. 

Everyone in the NFL is looking to strengthen its ranks and aim for the next Super Bowl.

After all, the league never truly stops.

What a season for the Seattle Seahawks

The last Super Bowl, the sixtieth in history, was a defensive game. The Seattle Seahawks, who were the favourites to win, dominated the New England Patriots in a 29-13 victory. New England’s scores arrived when the Seahawks were already controlling the turf. The MVP was Kenneth Walker III, Seattle’s running back, who put together a great performance and moved the chains at will, especially in the second half.

 The player is likely to hit free agency, since Seattle doesn’t plan to renew him or put him under an expensive franchise tag. The Seahawks strength is in the defense and it makes sense, for them, to save some money on the offensive side.

New head coaches ready to take the next step

Several teams have already found their man for next season: let’s see some of the most interesting hires.

Klint Kubiak to the Las Vegas Raiders

A big part of the triumphant Seattle season is on their offensive coordinator, Klint Kubiak, who signed with the Las Vegas Raiders a few days after the win in Santa Clara to become their new head coach. His schematic brilliance brought quarterback Sam Darnold to the first Super Bowl win in his career and made an Offensive Player of the Year out of wide receiver Jaxson Smith-Njigba. 

He used Walker and his backup, Zach Charbonnet, as best as possible and reanimated Cooper Kupp, whose career seemed to be on life support. The Raiders were a terrible team last year, let’s see if Kubiak can actually do miracles.

Joe Brady to the Buffalo Bills

This is not exactly a new hire, since Brady was already working with the Bills and their superstar QB, Josh Allen, as offensive coordinator. For the 2026 season, though, he will lead them as their head coach, hoping to bring the Bills to another Super Bowl and, possibly, finally a win in the big game. Buffalo has a wide open window to reach SBLXI in Inglewood, but, as it is always the case for them, must begin to win the games that matter, in the playoffs.

Robert Saleh to the Tennessee Titans

We don’t know in what spirit the Titans’ faithfuls are after having seen Mike Vrabel, the head coach they not-so-smartly fired a couple of years ago, becoming Coach of the Year, dominating the American Conference and reaching the Super Bowl with the New England Patriots, in his first year on the job. 

After firing him, they went for a coach that was fired mid-season (Brian Callahan) and hired Saleh after the San Francisco 49ers elimination from contention. Saleh is a brilliant defensive coordinator, but failed spectacularly in New York, when he was appointed as the Jets’ head coach. Can he do better in Nashville?

Todd Monken to the Cleveland Browns

This is a curious hire. The Browns can count on arguably the best defense in the league and have a thousand problems on offense. This may be the reason why they decided to sign an offensive-minded coach. Perhaps they want to fix that unit but they have three question marks at QB, a not-so-good wide receiver core and a line that clearly needs to be revamped. 

Can Monken operate well in this environment? A major offseason rebuilding is needed for the offense, to put together a unit that can somewhat balance their defense.
