After the Miami Dolphins<\/a> fired head coach Mike McDaniel on Thursday, a quarter of the NFL now has head coaching vacancies.<\/p>\n

The New York Giants<\/a> and Tennessee Titans fired their head coaches midseason, giving them a leg up on starting a search while the rest of the NFL waited until after Week 18 to make a decision.<\/p>\n

The Titans fired Brian Callahan in Week 7 after a 1-5 start and promoted senior offensive assistant Mike McCoy to serve as the team\u2019s interim head coach. McCoy is unlikely to be hired as the full-time coach, as the team went 2-9 under him.<\/p>\n

Callahan was in his second season when he was fired and had a 4-19 record as the Titans\u2019 head coach.<\/p>\n

The Giants fired Brian Daboll after blowing a 10-point fourth-quarter lead to the Chicago Bears, a game in which rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart<\/a> sustained a concussion, which dropped them to 2-8. Offensive coordinator Mike Kafka was named interim coach and went 2-5 in his seven games.<\/p>\n

Daboll was in his fourth season and amassed a 20-40-1 record. He was named NFL Coach of the Year in his first season after leading the Giants to a 9-7-1 record and a playoff berth, but the team\u2019s record worsened in every season.<\/p>\n

While Kafka won his last two games and received an interview for the full-time position, he is unlikely to receive the Giants\u2019 head coaching job.<\/p>\n

SHEDEUR SANDERS ALREADY LOOKING FORWARD AFTER BROWNS FIRE HEAD COACH KEVIN STEFANSKI: ‘JUST HOW THE LEAGUE IS’<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The Atlanta Falcons<\/a> became the third team to have a vacancy and wasted little time, firing head coach Raheem Morris on Sunday. The team fired Morris after back-to-back 8-9 seasons.<\/p>\n

The Falcons had won their last four games, leading some to believe Morris might be afforded a third season, but owner Arthur Blank had other plans. The Giants, Arizona Cardinals and Titans<\/a> have all scheduled interviews with Morris, according to multiple reports.<\/p>\n

The Falcons also fired general manager Terry Fontenot after five seasons on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The Cleveland Browns<\/a> were the first team to make a move on “Black Monday,” as they fired two-time NFL Coach of the Year Kevin Stefanski. The Browns went 5-12 in Stefanski\u2019s final season.<\/p>\n

In six seasons with the Browns, Stefanski went 45-56 with two playoff berths and one postseason win. The Giants have reportedly already interviewed Stefanksi, while the Las Vegas Raiders<\/a> and Titans have interviews scheduled, according to multiple reports.<\/p>\n

The Raiders were the next team to make a move, dismissing Pete Carroll after one disastrous season. The Raiders were 3-14 but were rewarded for their dismal season with the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL Draft.<\/p>\n

DOLPHINS TURNING TO HALL OF FAME QUARTERBACK TO HELP FIND NEXT GENERAL MANAGER: REPORT<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The Cardinals<\/a> were the last team to fire their coach on “Black Monday,” firing head coach Jonathan Gannon after three seasons. The Cardinals were 3-14 this season, losing their final nine games.<\/p>\n

It looked like the Cardinals were building something when they went 8-9 in 2024, but the team regressed.<\/p>\n

The Baltimore Ravens<\/a> shocked the world when they parted ways with John Harbaugh after 18 seasons on Tuesday. Harbaugh was the second-longest-tenured coach in the NFL, behind only the Pittsburgh Steelers\u2019 Mike Tomlin.<\/p>\n

The Ravens underperformed this season, going 8-9 and missing the playoffs in heartbreaking fashion on Sunday, and the team moved on just a couple of days later. Harbaugh immediately became the top head coaching candidate on the market and has drawn interest from all teams with a vacancy, according to multiple reports.<\/p>\n

Harbaugh went 180-113 in his Ravens\u2019 tenure, which included a Super Bowl win in 2012 over his brother, Jim Harbaugh.<\/p>\n

The Dolphins were the latest team to make a move, firing McDaniel on Thursday and creating the eighth head coaching vacancy. McDaniel went 35-33 in four seasons with the Dolphins, including two trips to the playoffs.<\/p>\n

McDaniel is widely regarded as one of the best offensive minds in the NFL and is reportedly expected to draw interest.<\/p>\n

This offseason is the second consecutive offseason where there are eight openings, with the Raiders the lone team participating in a head coaching search in both offseasons.<\/p>\n
