Welcome to the 2025–26 version of my future head coaches list. Before we get into it, let’s try to explain what we’re doing here.
There are a lot of names on the list every year because, during a normal NFL coaching cycle, a lot of names change places. We’re trying to create, almost like a draft expert makes a top-100 big board, a list of candidates both for head coaching jobs and possible coordinator jobs, that would exist on a team’s internal dream roster. That means thinking like a head coach building a staff, or an owner making a hire, and asking those in and around the coaching industry to do so as well.
