The Dallas Cowboys announced they hired Brian Schottenheimer as their head coach late Friday evening, meaning the New Orleans Saints are now the only team that remains looking for a head coach. They ended up playing the long game, and chose to wait out the other teams to get their choice of the remaining candidates. While this is a decision that could go either way, many of the candidates they did interview still remain which is a somewhat good sign.
The other six teams and their head coaching hires are as follows:
New England Patriots - Mike Vrabel
Chicago Bears - Ben Johnson
New York Jets - Aaron Glenn
Jacksonville Jaguars - Liam Coen
Las Vegas Raiders - Pete Carroll
Dallas Cowboys - Brian Schottenheimer
One positive is Liam Coen moving on from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, as this may end up making things a little bit easier in the NFC South if the Saints are going the competitive route again.
