"It wasn't without its fair share of chaos, rumors, and controversy, but the NFL coaching hires for the 2026 offseason seem just about complete. All the head coach vacancies are filled, and only the Bears, Rams, and Raiders need to hire an OC/DC. Chicago is looking for its next offensive coordinator under Ben Johnson, after the Ravens plucked 29-year-old Declan Doyle to their staff, while Mike LaFleur's hiring as the head coach in Arizona has left the Rams without an OC as well."
"The final team that really has some work to do is the aforementioned Raiders, who plan to hire Seahawks offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak after the Super Bowl. Once that becomes official, he'll need to build out his staff by bringing in coordinators on both sides of the ball."
"Worst Head Coach Hire: Joe Brady, Buffalo Bills Former Bills OC from 2024-2025, & QB Coach from 2022-2023. In Lamins terms, the Buffalo Bills downgraded in defensive playcalling by firing longtime head coach and top defensive mind, Sean McDermott, and kept the exact same offense by promoting the offensive coordinator to the top job. Joe Brady, 36, has been with Josh Allen and the Bills since 2022, first as the quarterbacks coach and later as the OC. He did a fine job in that role, but his offense never quite reached the peaks that Brian Daboll could as the OC."
Nearly all NFL coaching hires for the 2026 offseason are complete, with only the Bears, Rams, and Raiders still seeking coordinators. Chicago seeks an offensive coordinator under Ben Johnson after the Ravens added 29-year-old Declan Doyle, while Arizona’s hiring of Mike LaFleur left the Rams without an OC. The Raiders plan to hire Seahawks OC Klint Kubiak and will need to staff both coordinator positions. Hires should be evaluated beyond press conferences and social media. The three worst offseason coaching moves include one head coach, one offensive coordinator, and one defensive coordinator. Buffalo promoted Joe Brady to head coach, raising concerns about a defensive downgrade and limited offensive upside.
