Aaron Glenn

DET Defensive Coordinator

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

The Athletic’s Zack Rosenblatt reports “barring anything unexpected” the Jets will hire Lions DC Aaron Glenn as their new head coach.

The Jets and Aaron Glenn have been flirting with each other through the coaching cycle and the Divisional Round elimination of Glenn’s Lions is speeding things up. He interviewed with the Jets on Tuesday and is expected to be named their head coach soon. Rosenblatt adds the Jets’ staff “has been operating as if it will get done” and the team is “informing candidates that they are going in another direction.” Glenn has been the Lions’ defensive coordinator since 2021, keeping the team afloat through major defensive injuries this season, prior to the playoff exit. The 52-year-old will be a first-time head coach, faced with rebuilding the Jets after a short-lived Aaron Rodgers era.
Josh McDaniels

FA Head Coach

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports the Patriots are “expected” to hire former Raiders HC Josh McDaniels as their offensive coordinator.

We can’t say that comes as a real surprise. McDaniels reportedly completed an interview with the Patriots for their offensive coordinator vacancy today. The former Pats OC from 2006-2008, then again in 2012-2021 obviously has a ton of familiarity with how things operate in New England. The Raiders head coaching role was a tough fit for him and exposed him as a little rigid at times — there were certainly games where Davante Adams disappeared in the process — but he has the best resume of anyone we’ve seen connected to this job. McDaniels did not coach in 2024 after being fired in November 2023. He was tied to the Patriots often last offseason as well. Now we’ll get to see if he can take Drake Maye to the next level in 2025. If the Patriots add some more weapons around Maye, they could be an intriguing fantasy offense next season.
Kevin O'Connell

MIN Head Coach #8

Vikings signed head coach Kevin O’Connell to a contract extension.

There has been no official reports of contract years added or money, but O’Connell was entering the final season of his coaching contract and gets a huge multi-year extension after starting his career 34-17, including a 14-3 record in 2024. O’Connell turned Darnold into wine before the scrapheap quarterback fell apart in his final two starts of the season against the Lions and Rams and is likely on the shortlist for Coach of the Year honors. The #sources are going off about an extension for GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah as something that is down the road as well. It’s a well-earned reward for O’Connell, one that ends a few wishful thinking storylines out of places without a locked-in head coach. After wrapping up a Adofo-Mensah extension, the Vikings will get to work on how to build on their upstart campaign.
Liam Coen

TB Offensive Coordinator

Tampa Bay Times’ Rick Stroud reports the Buccaneers are “preparing” for Liam Coen to be offered the Jacksonville Jaguars head coaching job.

The smoke has been strongest on Coen and Robert Saleh for the Jaguars since Ben Johnson signed on with the Bears. Coen has also been linked to the Raiders, but has not had an official interview with the club yet. The Jaguars would certainly boost Trevor Lawrence’s short-term outlook with Coen, a creative screen-designer who excelled with the Buccaneers last year as they finished seventh in offensive DVOA. The Jaguars are reportedly set to meet with Coen tomorrow.
Anthony Richardson

IND Quarterback #5

ESPN’s Stephen Holder reports Anthony Richardson will work with biometric coach Chris Hess this offseason.

Hess worked with Josh Allen to refine Allen’s rough early-career throwing mechanics. The changes that stemmed from Allen’s work with Hess made him one of the NFL’s most efficient, accurate passers. Entering a phase of his career in which his viability as an NFL starter is in question, Richardson will reportedly look to refine “his throws on short and intermediate routes” and work on his short-area touch, which was severely lacking in 2024. Only Dorian Thompson-Robinson was more inaccurate than Richardson on passes between 0-10 yards last season. “I’ve just got to make sure I’m on point,” Richardson said, “doing everything I can to help this organization go in the right direction.” Holder reported this week that the Colts could pursue Justin Fields in free agency — a move that would likely create a Week 1 starting competition between Richardson and Fields.
Brian Schottenheimer

DAL Coaching Staff

Cowboys will interview offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer for the team’s head coaching vacancy.

Schottenheimer has been with the Cowboys for three years, serving as the team’s OC for the past two seasons under former head coach Mike McCarthy. This would be his first head coaching job in the NFL after being offensive coordinator for four teams over the past 18 years. Schottenheimer, 51, led the Cowboys to the second most points and the third most yards in 2023 before injuries doomed the team’s 2024 campaign. His work with Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb could provide a seamless transition for the Dallas offense in the wake of McCarthy’s exit. Giving him the monumental task of replacing Mike McCarthy when he wasn’t even trusted to call offensive plays last year sounds like a dire idea.
Caleb Williams

CHI Quarterback #18

The Athletic’s Dan Pompei believes Bears head coach Ben Johnson will “empower” Caleb Williams in 2025.

Pompei said Johnson — as he did with Jared Goff in Detroit — will give Williams more control over the Chicago offense, including free reign to change plays at the line of scrimmage. “He gave Goff authority with protection adjustments that not all QBs have, and eliminated plays that Goff didn’t love,” Pompei said, adding that the Bears’ offense will be more aggressive on fourth downs with Johnson in charge. The Bears in 2024 were the fourth most aggressive offense in fourth down situations. Johnson has been complimentary of Williams following his down rookie campaign. Williams, according to Johnson, has “quite a fastball and has some creativity to him, can extend plays and is accurate down the field as well.” Williams ranked 27th out of 33 qualifying quarterbacks last season in downfield accuracy.
Aaron Glenn

DET Defensive Coordinator

Jets are interviewing Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn for the team’s head coaching vacancy today.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport said the Jets’ “goal is to keep him from leaving the building” and to sign him to a deal. Glenn is also in the running for the Saints and Jaguars head coaching jobs after four years as Detroit’s defensive coordinator. The Lions defense over the past two seasons has given up the league’s 12th lowest offensive success rate and the 11th lowest EPA per play. Glenn would face a total rebuild in New York after the Jets’ Aaron Rodgers experiment went belly up. Adding fuel to the fire is the idea that Commanders executive Lance Newmark, who worked with Glenn in Detroit before taking his current gig, will also be interviewing and in the building today.
Cooper Kupp

LAR Wide Receiver #10

Rams WR Cooper Kupp said he intends to play next season but is unsure of his future in Los Angeles.

Kupp is still under team control through the 2026 season but the Rams worked an out into his three-year, $80 million contract signed prior to the 2024 season. He carries a $29 million cap hit with over $22 million in dead money into the 2025 season but the team could save over $20 million over the next two seasons by moving on now. Kupp started the season off hot before missing four games, never really appearing the same on the field following his absence. Injuries have been a common trend for Kupp in his advanced age, something that could factor into the equation this offseason.
Darren Rizzi

NO Head Coach

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Bears are “heavily pursuing” former Saints interim HC Darren Rizzi for their vacant ST coaching position.

Rizzi has been linked to over a half-dozen teams in various capacities, with the report indicating he could be lured to the Bears to form a star-studded cast of new coaches under new head coach Ben Johnson in a complete turnover. The report comes after rumors swirled that Johnson was likely to bring on former Saints head coach Dennis Allen to serve as his defensive coordinator, potentially drawing another link to Rizzi, who previously served as the special teams coordinator under Allen in New Orleans. There are still many dominoes to fall in this year’s coaching cycle but top candidates appear to be flying off the shelf.
