The article features NFL Network analysts discussing the upcoming Packers vs. Bears game and the coaching vacancies across several NFL teams, including insights from 'The Insiders' show.

The article ranks the 2026 NFL coaching vacancies from best to worst, analyzing potential candidates and the factors influencing each team's coaching prospects, with a focus on teams like the Ravens, Falcons, Giants, Dolphins, Titans, Cardinals, Raiders, and Browns.

Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson chose not to pursue head-coaching opportunities this year, citing the quality of available positions and his desire to enjoy Detroit's current success. He emphasized the importance of ownership, staff, and retaining play-calling duties in his decision. Johnson acknowledges that waiting for a perfect coaching situation might take a while, as ideal teams rarely seek new coaches.

Zach Orr, the new defensive coordinator for the Baltimore Ravens, is focused on maintaining the team's defensive success by emphasizing unity, violence, execution, and organized chaos. He aims to build on the existing defensive scheme while filling coaching vacancies and potential starting spots in the defense. Orr is determined to evolve and improve the defense, setting high standards for the upcoming season.

Bill Belichick, the former New England Patriots coach, is reportedly willing to wait for the right head coaching opportunity in the NFL, believing that having no job is better than taking on a role that isn't the right fit. Despite missing out on several coaching vacancies this cycle, including the Atlanta Falcons, Belichick remains motivated to find the perfect fit and could potentially be a future option for teams like the Dallas Cowboys if they encounter coaching issues.

With the Titans, Chargers, Falcons, and Panthers having filled their head coach vacancies, the Seahawks and Commanders are the remaining teams in search of a head coach. The Seahawks are set to meet with Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson and potentially Ravens defensive coordinator Mike Macdonald, while the Commanders are considering Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn and Lions coordinators Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn. Additionally, several coordinator candidates, including Dennard Wilson, Brandon Staley, and Klint Kubiak, are being sought after for various coaching positions across the league.

Speculation arises over Bill Belichick's potential impact on the New York Giants' season as he remains unattached to any head coaching job, with insiders suggesting his shadow may loom over the team due to his ties to the Mara family and the New York market. Former Coach of the Year Brian Daboll, facing scrutiny after a disappointing season, could face added pressure if the Giants struggle, while the team also faces a pivotal decision with the No. 6 pick in the upcoming draft as quarterback Daniel Jones recovers from injury.

It appears increasingly likely that Bill Belichick will not be coaching in the NFL for the 2024 season, as the remaining head coaching vacancies in the league, including those with the Washington Commanders and Seattle Seahawks, do not seem interested in hiring him. After parting ways with the New England Patriots, Belichick interviewed for the Atlanta Falcons job, but the team ultimately hired Raheem Morris. It's uncertain whether Belichick will take a year off and return to coaching in 2025 or if this marks the end of his NFL coaching career at age 71.

After the Atlanta Falcons chose Raheem Morris as their next head coach, Bill Belichick, who had interviewed with the team, currently has no more interviews scheduled. He is viewed as a long shot for coaching vacancies with the Seattle Seahawks and Washington Commanders. Speculation includes the possibility of him taking over for Andy Reid if the Kansas City Chiefs head coach retires, or doing TV for a year before possibly returning to coaching in 2025. At 71 years old, Belichick's next career move remains uncertain.

Bill Belichick is considered a long shot for the head-coaching vacancies with the Washington Commanders and Seattle Seahawks, leaving the possibility that the second-winningest coach in NFL history could be without a team in 2024. After parting ways with the New England Patriots, Belichick's chances of breaking the coaching victories record are dwindling as time becomes his enemy at 72 years old. Despite interviewing with the Atlanta Falcons, they are set to hire Los Angeles Rams defensive coordinator Raheem Morris, leaving Belichick's coaching future uncertain.

Five NFL head-coaching spots have been filled, with three remaining open for the Falcons, Seahawks, and Commanders. The Patriots, Raiders, Titans, and Chargers have already made their hires, leaving speculation about the remaining vacancies. Insiders Jeremy Fowler and Dan Graziano provide insights and rumors on potential candidates and interviews for the remaining coaching positions in the NFL.

The Philadelphia Eagles have reportedly interviewed Texans offensive coordinator Jerrod Johnson for the position of offensive coordinator for the 2024 season, as they continue to seek a replacement for Brian Johnson. Former Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury has also been interviewed for the job, and more information may be revealed during a press conference with Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni and General Manager Howie Roseman. Johnson's successful work with Texans rookie C.J. Stroud has garnered interest from other teams with offensive coordinator vacancies.

Multiple NFL teams are quietly considering making a run at Bill Belichick, who has only been interviewed by one team so far. The Falcons, who have interviewed over a dozen candidates, are not close to making a hire due to the new NFL rule prohibiting in-person interviews of assistant coaches under contract with other teams until after the completion of the divisional round. One potential impediment to Belichick wanting the Falcons job is the reporting structure to CEO Rich McKay, as both the head coach and G.M. would report to him.

Detroit Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn will interview for head coach positions with the Tennessee Titans and Atlanta Falcons, marking his first known interviews for the role. Glenn, who has also received an interview request from the Washington Commanders and Los Angeles Chargers, has been praised for his leadership qualities and has seen consistent interest in coaching vacancies in recent years. The Lions are also at risk of losing offensive coordinator Ben Johnson, who will be interviewing for multiple head coach positions.

Dan Quinn, the defensive coordinator for the Dallas Cowboys, is expected to return to the team if he doesn't secure a head coaching job elsewhere. While the Cowboys have announced that head coach Mike McCarthy will return for the final year of his contract, they have not been definitive about Quinn's future. There is speculation that Quinn could potentially replace McCarthy in the future, but his recent defensive performance in the playoffs has raised concerns among fans.
