NFL coaching changes 2023: Latest firings, hirings and rumors

Which NFL Coaches Will Be Fired on Black Monday?

The first week following the NFL regular season always comes with coaches and general managers from around the league being let go from their teams as front offices make swift changes heading into the offseason. In NFL circles, the very first day is known as "Black Monday," with those teams missing the playoffs looking to make changes sooner rather than later to get a head start into free agency and the NFL Draft that's now just under four months away in Detroit.

The six-time Super Bowl champion New England Patriots are parting with long-time head coach Bill Belichick, according to multiple reports Thursday morning. The move follows a season, Belichick's worst in his 24 years with the organization. While the move was expected, it's still shocking that the three-time Coach of the Year will no longer be roaming the sidelines in Foxboro.

Despite it being the end in New England, it sounds like the year-old is not ready to be done yet as Patriots owner Robert Kraft said "it'll be difficult to see him in a cutoff hoodie on another sideline" in a brief press conference with Belichick on Thursday afternoon. With Belichick's departure, this now means that there are eight head coaching vacancies across the NFL, with plenty of big name free agent coaches on the board that will be in new places heading into the season.

Carroll, who served as head coach in Seattle for 14 years, is likely to remain with the organization in an advisory role. The former Jets' head coach was the oldest coach in the NFL at 72 years old but would definitely be a top priority if he decides he still wants to. On Jan Smith was fired by the Falcons earlier this month after compiling a record in three consecutive seasons without a playoff berth.

Before his stint in Atlanta, Smith was the Tennessee Titans' offensive coordinator from Smith initially joined the Tennessee staff in as a defensive quality control coach and also worked as an offensive quality control coach, offensive line coach, assistant tight ends coach and tight ends coach before his promotion to offensive coordinator.

Former defensive coordinator: Joe Barry Jan. He'll replace Joe Barry and be the third different defensive coordinator as Matt LaFleur enters his sixth year as the franchise's head coach. While LaFleur and Hafley have never directly worked together, they have some mutual connections.

Hafley was the Browns' defensive backs coach from to under then-head coach Mike Pettine, who was LaFleur's first defensive coordinator in Green Bay Hafley also worked for 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan, one of LaFleur's mentors. Hafley was the 49ers' defensive backs coach from to before he became Ohio State's co-defensive coordinator.

The rest of the Packers' defensive coaching staff is under contract for the season and none of them was let go when the Packers parted ways with Barry. So there's a good chance some -- or all -- of them could return to work under Hafley. Hafley is a veteran NFL assistant coach who worked seven years in the NFL coaching various secondary positions before returning to college football as Ohio State's defensive coordinator in New Panthers coach Dave Canales is hiring a familiar face as his offensive coordinator, but that person won't be calling the plays.

Brad Idzik, who followed Canales from the Seahawks to the Buccaneers to coach wide receivers last season, will again follow Canales to the Panthers. Idzik, 32, has never been a playcaller. Idzik replaces offensive coordinator Thomas Brown, who took over playcalling duties after head coach Frank Reich was fired midseason.

Brown was not retained under Canales and joined the Bears as their passing game coordinator. Former offensive coordinator: Brian Johnson fired Jan. Coaches fired this year Former defensive coordinator: Sean Desai fired Jan. The move comes two days after the Eagles hired Vic Fangio as defensive coordinator in the first move of a coaching staff overhaul by Nick Sirianni.

Before that, he was the Cowboys' offensive coordinator from to , with his offense ranking in the top four in points per game Fangio left as defensive coordinator of the Dolphins, who announced they "mutually agreed to part ways" with the veteran assistant coach after one season. Fangio, 65, worked with the Eagles for two weeks last year as a consultant, helping them prepare for Super Bowl LVII, before eventually joining the Dolphins.

The Falcons are bringing over more than just their new head coach from the Rams. In one of the first hires for new Falcons coach Raheem Morris, he is tabbing Robinson to be the team's offensive coordinator. Robinson, 37, had been the quarterbacks coach and passing game coordinator for the Rams for the past two seasons as he worked his way up the coaching ranks there. The team announced Monday the hiring of Rams assistant head coach Jimmy Lake as their new defensive coordinator.

Lake was the head coach at the University of Washington from to '21 after being in various assistant roles for six seasons prior to that, including as defensive coordinator for two seasons in Lake and Morris worked together in Tampa Bay. Former offensive coordinator: Alex Van Pelt exited Jan. Dorsey was the Buffalo Bills' offensive coordinator the past two seasons before being fired in November.

He will replace Van Pelt, who mutially parted ways with the Browns earlier this month. It is unclear if Dorsey will call plays for Cleveland but head coach Kevin Stefanski has been the team's primary playcaller since taking over before the season. The Bengals didn't wait long to fill an important vacancy, promoting Pitcher to offensive coordinator, the team announced Thursday.

The promotion was made one day after Callahan, who previously held the position, was announced as the Titans' new head coach. Former offensive coordinator: Ken Dorsey fired Nov. Brady, who was elevated from his role as quarterbacks coach when Dorsey was fired, had his interim tag removed as expected one week after Buffalo's playoff road ended against the Chiefs.

Buffalo's defense allowed the fourth fewest points Former offensive coordinator: Luke Getsy fired Jan.

The Bears' offense showed improvement in Getsy's second season in Chicago, but it was ultimately not enough for the team to move forward with the year-old offensive coordinator.

There's also the notion that a coach might be the easiest change to make considering the challenges teams constantly face to move players because of a salary cap that's become even more constricting in recent years.

In the NHL, if you have lost a few games over a few weeks, teams are ready to make a decision. But there have been coaches who were fired this season who were proof that longevity and success can only go so far. Craig Berube won a Stanley Cup and led the St. Louis Blues to four straight playoff appearances in his five-plus seasons.

Dean Evason led the Wild to the postseason in four straight seasons. Even they got fired. Their firings also came with a sense of symmetry that further emphasizes a team's expectations. Berube, Evason and Jay Woodcroft, who was fired after parts of three seasons in Edmonton, were also in-season hires who were added when their respective teams decided a change was needed.

Even though they are being fired, they can be hired by another team. They can have a long tenure with coaching in the NHL. To Pennal's point, four of the seven teams that fired their coach replaced them with someone who had previously been an NHL head coach elsewhere. The NHL currently has 15 coaches with previous head coaching experience for another team.

He said 16 teams or half the NHL makes the playoffs which creates the belief for enough franchises that they could get into the postseason. The facts are when you look at the East Greengross said the perception around how coaches are valued in either league goes back to the nature of each sport.

He said the NFL and football as a whole is more methodical in nature when it comes to details such as clock control, lengthy drives and scripted plays. The NHL and hockey, while it allows for coaches to also run systems and script some plays, remains more free-flowing in nature with items such as line combinations or defensive pairings that can be shuffled multiple times throughout a game.

The mentality in those leagues and sports is something Greengross said plays a role in how coaching contracts are handled. Greengross also mentioned an NFL player can keep the same agent when they transition to coaching. What maps are in comp valorant In the NHL, an agent cannot represent coaches and players, which means they must choose one over the other. They're coaches, they're not agents.

They're not negotiators per se. They've been made to feel that if they don't accept a team's offer, the team will go get their second choice or someone else instead. While the number of coaching agents is growing, Greengross added that there are coaches who are starting to understand that they don't have to take the first offer and that they can ask for more money.

Bylsma remarked how his expiration date was something that did come up during his time with the Penguins. He had heard about how coaches in Pittsburgh were usually gone after three seasons with Bylsma making it to a sixth season where he reached the playoffs in every one but was eventually dismissed.
