Terence Davis Jersey pulling the plug in the days following the final whistle.Even with a number of coaching changes being made, the most surprising news might be the coaches who were retained when their exits from their respective teams seemed .We'll track all the latest firings, hirings and latest NFL coaching candidates below. So make sure and bookmark this page for the future.Here are all the latest moves: Tenne see TitansIn: Head coach Mike Mularkey,GM Jon Robinson (Buccaneers director of player personnel) Out: Coach Ken Whisenhunt, GM Ruston WebsterWhat we think:Mike Mularkey gets his interim title removed despite leading the Titans to the worst record in football and the No. 1 overall pick. It's another questionable decision in a string of them for the Titans, who fired Ken Whisenhunt after just four games with his new QB, Marcus Mariota. Jason La Canfora has reported multiple times that the Adams family keeping Mularkey and not shelling out big for a new coach is likely a move to further streamline the team for sale. Detroit LionsIn: General manager Bob QuinnStaying: Coach Jim CaldwellOut: General manager Martin Mayhew, president Tom LewandWhat we think:New GM Bob Quinn announced Friday that he decided to retain Jim Caldwell as head coach, saying that he and Caldwell's "football philosophies are very similar" and Caldwell is the "right man" to lead the Lions going forward. The Lions' strong finish -- going 6-2 over their final eight games --certainly helped Caldwell's cause. Caldwell's decision to fireoffensive coordinator Joe Lombardi on Oct. 26 and replace him with Jim Bob Cooter also helped as quarterback Matthew Stafford played much better in the second half of the season and looked like the QB who led Detroit to 11 wins and a playoff berth in 2014. New York GiantsIn: Coach Ben McAdoo (Giants OC)Still In: GM Jerry ReeseOut: Coach Tom CoughlinWhat we think: The Giants opted to stay in-house to fill their head-coaching vacancy, promoting offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo to the main role on Thursday as expected. McAdoo ran the Giants offense for the past two seasons and has a familiarity with quarterback Eli Manning, which should help the continuity on that side of the ball. McAdoo and the Giants could opt to keep Steve
Aron Baynes Jersey Spagnuolo on to continue , CBS Sports NFL Insider Jason La Canfora reports. With many of the same pieces running the team on the coaching side of things, the pre sure is squarely on general manager Jerry Reese to upgrade the talent available to McAdoo and his staff. Philadelphia Eagles Out: Coach Chip KellyIn: Doug Pederson (Chiefs OC)What we think:The Eagles got a jump start on their head-coaching search by releasing Chip Kelly from his contract with a week remaining in the regular season. On the same day Kelly landed in San Francisco, the Eagles reportedly have found their guy as well in the form of Doug Pederson.Les Bowen of the reports Pederson, currently the offensive coordinator for the Chiefs and a guy who worked under Andy Reid in Philadelphia, is the guy. Pederson can't be officially hired until the Chiefs are eliminated from the playoffs. San Francisco 49ersIn: Coach Chip Kelly (Eagles HC)Out: Coach Jim TomsulaWhat we think: Tomsula
Marcus Camby Jersey never had a chance. He replaced Jim Harbaugh, one of the most succe sful coaches in recent history, and was tasked with making the 49ers competitive with a roster decimated by defections and retirments. Kelly arrives in San Francisco after a tumultous three seasons in Philadelphia, where he was fired last month, five days before the season finale. Kelly went 10-6 in his first two seasons with the Eagles, but things went sideways in 2015 after he also took over personnel duties last offseason.The hope is that Kelly can learn from his mistakes and that includes grooming a legit franchise quarterback, whether that's Colin Kaepernick or someone else. Cleveland BrownsIn:Hue Jackson (Bengals OC)Out: GM Ray Farmer, Coach Mike PettineWhat we think: Strong hire for the Browns, landing Jackson, one of the more coveted candidates on the open market. He was being pursued
C.J. Miles Jersey by the 49ers and Giants as well. Jackson had succe s with the Raiders in his most recent stint as a head coach before a high-priced trade for Carson Palmer backfired and he was sent packing (it was weird -- he was in charge of the franchise after Al Davis died).The Bengals, under Jackson as OC, have been an innovative offense with multiple quarterbacks. Miami Dolphins In: Head coach Adam Gase (Bears OC), Defensive coordinator Vance Joseph (Bengals DB coach) Out: Coach Joe Philbin,Interim coach Dan Campbell, GM Dennis HickeyWhat we think: Adam Gase, at 37 years old, is now the NFL's youngest head coach. Gase spent last season as the offensive coordinator of the Chicago Bears, where he helped Jay Cutler post the best pa sing rating of his career. Gase was the offensive coordinator of the Denver Broncos for the previous two seasons, working with Peyton Manning to post some of the best offensive numbers in NFL history. As such, he has been lauded for his work with quarterbacks
Chauncey Billups Jersey and the Dolphins tabbed him in part to work with Ryan Tannehill, who regre sed last season after getting a big-money deal. Gase is reportedly bringing Bengals defensive backs coach Vance Joseph with him to be his defensive coordinator once Cincy's season ends. The Bengals have been one of the top defenses in the league for a while and the play of their secondary has been a huge contributing factor. Miami will likely bring in some new blood in their secondary after its subpar performance this season, but Joseph will probably keep the same 4-3, one-gap principles that Ndamukong Suh, Cameron Wake, Olivier Vernon and the rest of the defensive front have used to great succe s. Tampa Bay Buccaneers In: Coach Dirk Koetter (Buccaneers OC)Out: Coach Lovie SmithWhat we think: Koetter was the favorite to get this gig basically from the moment it surprisingly came open. There were even reports in the wake of Smith's firing that the Buucs made the move with the intention of promoting Koetter b
