10 possible NFL coaching candidates for the 2025 cycle, including Bill Belichick

The 2024 NFL head coaching cycle ended on Thursday with the Washington Commanders reportedly hiring Dallas Cowboys coach Dan Quinn as their next head coach.

Eight NFL franchises made coaching changes this winter, and even more teams will undoubtedly undergo the same process once the 2024 season ends.

Unless Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid retires after the Super Bowl, NFL coaching candidates who didn’t land a job this cycle will have to wait until 2025 to land a job. Fortunately for them, there will be options.

Franchises like the Dallas Cowboys, Philadelphia Eagles, Buffalo Bills, New Orleans Saints, New York Giants, Chicago Bears, Jacksonville Jaguars and New York Jets could all hypothetically make coaching changes next winter based on how their 2023 seasons went.

As we survey, we’ve picked out 10 former and current NFL coaches who will likely be at the top of teams’ interview lists next hiring cycle.
