Top 10 Best NFL Head Coaching Candidates of 2019

Almost 10 teams have already fired their head coach, so here are some candidates who could possibly fill some of those vacancies.

The Top Ten

  1. Mike McCarthy

    Michael John McCarthy, born on November 10, 1963, is an American football coach. He served as head coach of the Green Bay Packers from 2006 to 2018 and led the team to a victory in Super Bowl XLV against the Pittsburgh Steelers. McCarthy later became the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys, holding the... read more

    Outdated play calls with conservative measures plus staying with the Packers for a bit too long made it time for a change. He could find success with another team.

    After being fired by the Packers, people have already begun saying that he will fill some vacancies. Some rumors link him to the Jets and Dolphins.

    Sure, things haven't worked out in Green Bay for the past few years, but he's still a respectable coach.

    He would be the perfect guy for a team that needs better coaching (NY Jets, Dolphins, Browns?).

  2. Adam Gase

  3. Josh McDaniels

    McDaniels, please save the Packers.

    It has been said that the only head coaching job he will take is in Green Bay.

  4. Jim Harbaugh

    Yes, some have said he may be returning to the NFL after going back to college football. He has been successful as a head coach before, even making it to the Super Bowl. I personally think that he would prefer to stay in college football and won't move back to the NFL.

  5. Vic Fangio

    The great defensive coordinator of the Bears has been in the NFL for over 30 years. He is rumored to go to the Broncos or Eagles. Matt Nagy says there's a plan in place if he's hired.

    A pretty good defensive coordinator. If they lose him, it would show that times are changing.

  6. Bruce Arians

    He should come out of the commentator's booth and coach again. He is better than a lot of these other guys. As an offensive mastermind who developed Andrew Luck and eventually took the Cardinals to new heights, he did a very good job with what he could do.

    He would not be a bad candidate. I mean, just look at what he did with the Cardinals a few years ago. I still think he has some coaching life left in him, unlike a certain other guy who made a return to the sideline from the booth to coach the Raiders.

    Apparently he's going to Tampa Bay. It should be interesting to see what he can do there.

  7. Hue Jackson

    He has been personally endorsed by Marvin Lewis to replace him in Cincinnati.

  8. John DeFilippo

    The current Vikings offensive coordinator, who coached under Frank Reich and Doug Pederson.

  9. Zac Taylor

    Currently the Rams quarterback coach, some teams may interview him, hoping he can bring some of Sean McVay's offense with him.

  10. Lincoln Riley

    Although he's not likely to leave Oklahoma to go to the NFL, he would be a prime target for many teams.

    11. The Newcomers

  13. Kris Richard

  14. Jim Caldwell

    Former Lions coach who has reportedly drawn interest from the Packers, Browns, and Jets.

  15. Chuck Pagano

    Yes, another former coach. He has drawn interest from the Packers and the Broncos.

  16. Brian Flores

  17. Pete Carmichael

    He has made a dynamic Saints offense in his 12 years with the team, but he has no previous head coaching experience.
