The 2023 NFL season flew by but the 2024 NFL offseason got off to a slow start, with the possibility of some big names holding up coaching movement. That didn’t last long though, with some big-time breaking news over the last 24-48 hours.
Wednesday saw Pete Carroll retire as Seahawks coach, then Alabama announced Nick Saban was leaving the program. The next domino was clear and it happened on Thursday morning with Bill Belichick and the Patriots “parting ways.” It’s absolutely insane to think about Belichick leaving the Patriots after bottoming out in a post-Tom Brady world, but it’s also a reminder how the NFL waits for no one.
With Belichick gone, we had eight openings in the NFL. With the Pats making moves, we’re down to seven. Maybe we’re done? Who’s to say. I’d guess it’s more likely we get additional changes than not, but for now let’s rank and discuss the current openings.
