Additionally, two general managers, the Raiders’ Dave Ziegler and the Chargers’ Tom Telesco, were also let go.
Keep up with all the changes in some of the NFL’s top jobs right here with Yahoo Sports.

The Seattle Seahawks and Pete Carroll have “amicably agreed” that his time as head coach will end after 14 seasons in charge in Seattle. He’ll transition into an advisor role, the team announced.
He finishes his Seahawks tenure with a 137-89 record, including two Super Bowl appearances and a championship title.
Would Pete Carroll consider a coaching role elsewhere?
“Today’s about today,” he said. “I don’t know that.”
#Panthers have blocked #Jaguars’ request to interview DC Ejiro Evero for Jacksonville’s coordinator job, per sources. Carolina plans to interview Evero for its head coaching position.
Evero led the Panthers’ fourth-ranked total defense despite Carolina’s NFL-worst offense.
#Titans GM Ran Carthon says he and coach Mike Vrabel “never had any issues. We were in lockstep. I want to finally dispel that. I wish Vrabes nothing but the best. I consider him a friend.”
Cowboys VP Will McClay has two teams, Commanders and Chargers, request permission to speak with him regarding their front office openings multiple people tell @dmn_cowboys
Source: Former #Chargers GM Tom Telesco, who presided over one of the most talented rosters for about a decade, will interview for the vacant #Raiders GM job.
“As the NFL continues to innovate and evolve, I believe the teams best positioned for sustained success will be those who empower an aligned & collaborative team across all football functions.”

The Titans believed trading Vrabel was too complicated and would take too long, per sources. They wanted to move on quickly. I was told Vrabel never asked ownership for a trade or asked out of Tennessee.
Mike Vrabel was lauded as one of the best coaches in the NFL just a couple years ago. But everything is temporary in the NFL.
In a surprise, the Tennessee Titans reacted to a second straight losing season by firing Vrabel. The Titans started 2-4 before their bye and never were much of a factor in the playoff race after that. It was the rare season under Vrabel in which the Titans were irrelevant.
The Jaguars have fired DC Mike Caldwell after their late-season collapse cost them a playoff berth. Details here.
— Giants assistant GM Brandon Brown — Buccaneers assistant GM Mike Greenberg — Chiefs vice president of football operations Brandt Tilis — Eagles assistant GM Alec Halaby — Saints assistant GM Khai Harley — Ravens vice president of football administration Nick Matteo — Colts assistant GM Ed Dodds — Raiders interim GM Champ Kelly
Panthers announce that they’ve requested interviews with 9 candidates for their head coaching job: — Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson — Texans offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik — Bengals offensive coordinator Brian Callahan — Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn — Ravens defensive coordinator Mike Macdonald — Dolphins offensive coordinator Frank Smith — Rams defensive coordinator Raheem Morris — Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken — Buccaneers offensive coordinator Dave Canales
Here’s what Bob Myers brings to Commanders as they clean house
More Panthers HC and GM candidates emerging:
The #Panthers requested an interview with #Texans OC Bobby Slowik for their head coaching job, per source.
The #Chargers are requesting to interview #49ers defensive coordinator Steve Wilks for their vacant head coaching job, sources tell me and @RapSheet. Wilks’ Niners defense was third in points allowed, eighth in yards this season after he went 6-6 as #Panthers interim HC.
Jim Harbaugh could even benefit from a new NFL rule that prohibits currently employed assistant coaches from talking with teams until after the divisional round of the playoffs on Jan. 21. He can speak to whomever he wants whenever he wants.
Does he want it though?
While multiple sources around Harbaugh believe he does, there is a prevailing unpredictability about a man who has never acted in a conventional manner.
“It’s Jim, in the end, who knows,” said one confidant.
Dodds has ties to Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh — they worked together for the #Raiders in 2003 — which could be relevant depending on how the head-coaching search goes. https://t.co/X66hZQJBDL
Raiders requested permission to interview 49ers’ assistant GM Adam Peters for their general manager job, per source. Raiders and Commanders both now have an interest in Peters.
49ers ass’t GM Adam Peters was requested to interview for the Commanders head of football ops job, and will take the interview this week, per source. Significant in that he’s one of the most sought-after GM names and turned down interviews with the Titans and Cardinals last year.
Have Bill Belichick and Robert Kraft met during the season? Belichick declines to say whether Kraft gave him indication about his Patriots future but did confirm: “We’ve met during the season.” pic.twitter.com/ItqyuKLo22
Bill Belichick still talking about Patriots as ‘our’ football team
New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick offered a sliver of insight into how he’s approaching these next few days. And he sounds like a man very invested in staying in New England after a miserable 4-13 season.
Belichick’s coaching and game-planning remain widely praised, while his personnel decisions garner more criticism. Could he cede that front-office control to stay in New England?
“Yeah, look, I’m for whatever, collectively, we decide as an organization is the best thing to help our football team,” Belichick said when asked. “And I have multiple roles in that, and I rely on a lot of people to help me in those responsibilities. If somebody’s got to have the final say, I rely on a lot of other people to help.
“However that process is, I’m only part of it.”
Commanders’ interviewing wish list reportedly expands
The #Commanders aren’t wasting time: They’ve requested interviews with #Lions OC Ben Johnson and DC Aaron Glenn for their head coaching job, per sources.
Brian Daboll fires Giants’ special teams, offensive line coaches
New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll and GM Joe Schoen announced a rash of coaching changes at a presser Monday morning, and it’s an unexpectedly long list.
Special teams coordinator Thomas McGaughey and offensive line coach Bobby Johnson have both been fired.
Running backs coach Jeff Nixon has been hired by Syracuse to be their offensive coordinator.
There are two coaches who (probably) aren’t leaving. Daboll said he expects offensive coordinator Mike Kafka and defensive coordinator Wink Martindale to return in 2024.
Panthers fire GM Scott Fitterer
The Carolina Panthers already fired their head coach Frank Reich back in November, so there was only one other guy left to fire on Black Monday.
Rivera and the Commanders had progressed, albeit slowly, over the first three years he was in Washington. But with the team under new ownership this season, Rivera had to make a statement to show why he deserved to stay in the job. Instead, the feeble Commanders could produce just four wins.
To help dig the team out of the hole they’re now in, the Commanders also announced they have hired former Golden State Warriors general manager and two-time NBA executive of the year Bob Myers to help run the team.
What’s next for Bill Belichick and the Patriots?
Bill Belichick finished his 24th season in charge of the New England Patriots. Will there be a 25th?
The biggest coaching domino of the offseason is arguably Belichick, who’s won six Super Bowls as New England head coach and built the greatest dynasty in NFL history. The entire league awaits what’s next.
Falcons fire Arthur Smith after another 7-10, playoff-less season
The Atlanta Falcons kicked off the NFL’s Black Monday coaching news cycle, announcing they’ve fired head coach Arthur Smith.
Smith spent three seasons in charge and finished 7-10 in each one of them, with no playoff appearances and an array of skill talent that left people wanting more out of the Falcons’ offense.
Rams head coach Sean McVay promises return to show in 2024
This time last year, Rams head coach Sean McVay was mulling whether he wanted to step away from coaching. McVay had just signed an extension to keep him with the Rams through 2026, but he was coming off his only losing season and second year not making the playoffs since taking over in 2017.
After some discussion, McVay decided to return. And with his recommitment, the Rams returned to their old ways. The 37-year-old also enjoyed a huge win off the field with the birth of his first child, a son, in October.
Considering the marked improvement this season, host J.B. Long decided to ask the show’s namesake if viewers could expect him back.
Bears’ Matt Eberflus coaching himself off hot seat
Bears head coach Matt Eberflus, long assumed to be gone after his second year in Chicago, now looks more and more like he’ll be given the chance to stay.
The Bears hammered a playoff hopeful Falcons team 37-17 in Week 17, and quarterback Justin Fields has been playing well since his return from injury under Eberflus. Chicago is 7-9 and will miss the playoffs, but the franchise has to decide if what Eberflus and Fields have shown the second half of this season is worth investing in going forward — or if they should use the No. 1 overall pick on North Carolina’s Drake Maye or USC’s Caleb Williams, and go in a different direction at head coach.
Raiders interim head coach Antonio Pierce: ‘My résumé’s on the grass’
Despite the fact the Raiders will miss the playoffs, interim coach Antonio Pierce is hopeful he’ll be hired as the full-time head coach.
“My résumé’s on the grass, after a which I can put up a fancy presentation, I’ve seen that before,” Pierce said, a day after Las Vegas’ upset of the Chiefs at Arrowhead on Christmas. “I can put up stats. I can put up my résumé. But the best thing that happened for me was the opportunity. And like I said, maybe last week, the worst day I was going to be as a head coach was my first day. … I really take pride in growing each and every day to get better. No different than when I was a player — get better, and by the end you look at it, whatever your career was and whatever my coaching career is, that you sit there and say, ‘Look, this is what he was.'”
Jets bringing back head coach Robert Saleh, GM Joe Douglas
Patriots have reportedly already decided to move on from Bill Belichick
Will Bill Belichick return as head coach of the New England Patriots for a 24th season? According to a report by NBC Sports Boston’s Tom Curran, a “decision was made” to part ways with Belichick after the season by team owner Robert Kraft and the franchise back in November
