We are closer to the start of the annual coaching carousel than the start of the NFL playoffs, because, in many ways, the carousel is already spinning. There are three openings (Raiders, Panthers, Chargers) and at least as many to come over the final three weeks of the regular season.
What we have below is a set of burning questions about what might happen on the coaching market. These are questions I’ve been asking myself, and others around the league, and I’ll try to flesh out the answers here. I have a great deal of interest in the coaching space for various reasons, and every year I compile an exhaustive list of future candidates and rising position coaches heading into the season. That process is not perfect, nor is this hypothetical Q&A, but I do think it will capture the spirit of where things sit right now … at least as I see it.
