From Super Bowl winners to special teams coordinators, the newest NFL head coaching hires have a broad range of experience levels.
Dallas replaced Jason Garrett with a Super Bowl winner, Mike McCarthy, who was as successful in Green Bay as anyone this side of Vince Lombardi. Washington went with Ron Rivera, who twice won NFL Coach of the Year honours in Carolina and also took the Panthers to a Super Bowl.
Still open is the Cleveland job — doesn’t it always seem to be? The Browns flopped with untested Freddie Kitchens in charge, so maybe they’ll want someone of the ilk of McCarthy and Rivera. Then again, it’s the Browns. The 56-year-old McCarthy, who went to the playoffs nine times in 12-plus seasons with Green Bay and won his Super Bowl in Jones’ stadium, is a solid fit in Big D. The Cowboys are expected to give Dak Prescott a longterm contract any day, and McCarthy is a QB-friendly coach.Rivera has a far bigger task to get the Redskins into the playoffs conversation, and he also has hired an established defensive co-ordinator in Jack Del Rio.
“I told him I didn’t want to go through a five-year rebuilding process,” Rivera said of the owner. “I just don’t have the patience, and from what I’ve read, neither does he, so we understand that.” Rhule also seems set to bring along his defensive assistant at Baylor, Phil Snow, to be his co-ordinator. That sparked a strong reaction from former NFL executive Pat Kirwan on his SiriusXM program.
