At this point, Joe Philbin coming back in 2015 is about as likely as Tim Tebow getting inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame.

5. Darrell Bevell, Seattle Seahawks Offensive Coordinator
There are quite a few coordinators out there due for a promotion, and Bevell is near the top of most of those lists. He's interviewed for several jobs already, and it's a virtual lock that the Dolphins will take a long look at him this offseason.
4. Hue Jackson, Cincinnati Bengals Offensive Coordinator
Jackson guided the Oakland Raiders to a .500 record in 2011 (no small feat, considering how little he had to work with and how bad they've looked since), and it's only a matter of time before he gets another shot at a full head coaching role.
