Here are the most likely candidates and chances they replace Lou Anarumo as the next Bengals defensive coordinator.

With Jerod Mayo fired after only one season, here are the 8 best potential replacements for the Patriots' 16th head coach.

There are certainly things to like about the Bears job, including the promise of former number-one pick Caleb Williams at quarterback and some solid roster depth at receiver, linebacker, and cornerback. But the offensive line is a problem, and the Bears simply haven't had success as a franchise in the last 15 years.

When the NFL regular season comes to a close, it sends the head-coaching carousel into high gear. The 2025 cycle is in full swing and began with six openings across the NFL. One of those has since been filled with the New England Patriots hiring Mike Vrabel to lead the franchise after moving on from Jerod Mayo after one season.

The New England Patriots have fired coach Jerod Mayo after one season, beginning another reboot for the franchise just a year after it parted with longtime coach Bill Belichick.

Mike Vrabel and the Patriots have reportedly conducted their first offensive coordinator interview. Read more on Boston.com.

Mike Vrabel best fit the attribute “leader of men’’ that the Bears are seeking in a head coach. That job description was so pointed, so specific that it left observers with the sense that former coach Matt Eberflus couldn’t lead men and, further, would have a difficult time leading animals, vegetables or minerals.

Technically still in the running for the Bears’ head-coaching job, Thomas Brown has begun to explore his options. After meeting with the Seahawks about their position, the interim Chicago HC is on the Patriots’ radar.

Since their ill-fated decision to fire Lovie Smith in 2012, the Chicago Bears have been one of the worst teams in the NFL, thanks to poor coaching.
