The vacant NFL head coaching jobs ranked, and the candidates rumored to be in the mix for them
Eight NFL teams are heading into the offseason in search of a new head coach.
Some candidates in high demand could have their pick of available gigs.
Looking at the situation of each franchise, it's clear that two teams are far better opportunities than any other in the NFL.
The 2018 NFL regular season is in the books, with 12 teams left to compete for their spot in Super Bowl LII and the rest of the league preparing for next year.
For many teams whose season is over, that means cleaning shop, and on this week's proverbial "Black Monday," a whopping six teams chose to let go of their head coaches in favor of searching for another candidate for the job.
Combined with the midseason firings, there are eight head coaching positions to be filled, and a plethora of candidates that includes former coaches, current college coaches, and coordinators hoping to make the leap.
While there are only so many NFL head-coaching jobs, not all are created equal. Depending on the state of the franchise — it's young players, cap space, and the influence of ownership — some jobs look much more enviable heading into the 2019 season.
Below we break down the most enticing jobs in the NFL and some of the candidates rumored to be in the mix to fill them.
