NFL ties record with 10 new head coaches as teams reshuffle staff

The National Football League matched its 2022 high by hiring ten head coaches for new franchises this offseason. The moves include Robert Saleh taking over the Tennessee Titans, John Harbaugh joining the New York Giants, and Kevin Stefanski becoming the head coach of the Atlanta Falcons. Veteran Mike McCarthy added his name to the list, now coaching a third different team.

Six first‑time head coaches were also introduced: Joe Brady with the Buffalo Bills, Mike LaFleur with the Arizona Cardinals, Jesse Minter with the Baltimore Ravens, Todd Monken with the Cleveland Browns, Jeff Hafley with the Miami Dolphins, and Klint Kubiak with the Las Vegas Raiders. Saleh said the Titans offered a fresh start after firing Brian Callahan mid‑season, and players noted a new “winning culture” in training camp.

The wave of appointments reflects a broader trend of teams seeking fresh leadership to reverse recent losing streaks and reshape their on‑field strategies.
