NFL coaching moves live updates: Latest rumors, news on teams' searches

5 days ago 2

Black Monday has passed, but the NFL's coaching moves haven't come to a halt.

The first 24 hours after the completion of Week 18 brought about four firings in the head-coaching ranks, bringing the total number of vacancies to six. But further changes are still possible, particularly among assistant coaches and coordinators. Meanwhile, the organizations with openings could continue to set their interview slates in the coming days by making requests to speak with various candidates.

USA TODAY Sports will have live updates on all the latest news and rumors on coaching moves and searches, so check back often throughout the day:

Titans setting schedule for head-coaching interviews

The Tennessee Titans are wasting no time in getting their head-coaching search underway.

The Titans will interview Indianapolis Colts defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo on Wednesday, Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy on Thursday and former Cleveland Browns coach Kevin Stefanski on Saturday.

None of the coaches on the Titans' established interview list have to wait before speaking with the team, with Denver Broncos defensive coordinator Vance Joseph permitted to meet this week given that his team is on a bye. The Titans, however, still must satisfy the league's Rooney Rule requirements before reaching a decision.

Matt Eberflus fired as Cowboys defensive coordinator

The Dallas Cowboys will have a fourth different defensive coordinator in four years.

The Cowboys on Tuesday fired Matt Eberflus, according to multiple reports, ending the tenure of a coach who oversaw a unit that surrendered a franchise-record 511 points.

Eberflus' zone-heavy scheme drew significant scrutiny throughout the season, particularly as the offense led by Dak Prescott soared.

Which NFL head-coaching vacancy is best?

With Black Monday over, there are now six head-coaching vacancies throughout the NFL – though that number still could grow.

USA TODAY Sports' Nate Davis took an in-depth look at each vacancy and ranked the opportunities from best to worst. With lackluster rosters and limited resources, the Atlanta Falcons and Arizona Cardinals finished at the bottom.

But what about the No. 1 team? Check out the story for the full breakdown.
