Today, Cleveland elevated interim offensive coordinator Freddie Kitchens to become their next head coach, and Tampa Bay hired Bruce Arians on Tuesday. Denver has hired Bears defensive coordinator Vic Fangio as their new head man. Even Kliff Kingsbury, following his dispute with USC over interviews, has landed the head coaching job of the Arizona Cardinals. These coaches will begin to assemble their assistant coaching staffs, which means that there will be fewer men for a potential Bengals head coach to choose from to fill his cabinet.
Minnesota extended Kevin Stefanski to be their full-time offensive coordinator, and the Jets appear to be the only team that Mike Mccarthy wants to coach.
