There is a long-standing concept that the NFL stands for “Not For Long,” which is often the case for head coaches. All it takes is one bad season to put many coaches on the hot seat, which is why it’s common to see upwards of six or seven openings every offseason.
Of course, some destinations are more attractive than others, and some teams are too far gone to attract the top candidates. Of next season’s openings, there are already two teams that ESPN’s Dan Orlovsky believes are “very attractive” head coaching jobs.
The main thing that can make a head coaching job attractive is the presence of an exciting quarterback. Coincidentally, two teams that have already fired their coaches happen to have a pair of rookie first-round QBs who look quite promising.
“The Titans and Giants will be very attractive jobs bc of the way the young QBs have looked,” Orlovsky posted on X.

The Tennessee Titans fired Brian Callahan after the team’s 1-5 start, as the front office didn’t want him anywhere near first overall pick Cam Ward anymore. While Ward’s stats haven’t been great, he is dealing with what is likely the league’s worst roster and has still managed to show signs of progression as the season has unfolded.
For the New York Giants, Jaxson Dart put forth some outstanding performances after taking over for Russell Wilson, though head coach Brian Daboll showed some questionable decision-making in terms of injury management. Dart has already been in concussion protocol four times as a rookie, which certainly contributed to Daboll being axed as well.
Both teams will be on the hunt for head coaches who can help develop their talented rookie quarterbacks this offseason. Orlovsky is right, and it will be interesting to see who they target.
