Tracking the 2023 NFL general manager changes (SB Nation)

Head coaches are not the only ones on the hot seat as the NFL season draws to a close.

The Texans are a combined 7-26-1 during his time in Houston, and need to rebuild the roster on both sides of the football. Wilson interviewed last offseason for the GM spot with the New York Giants, and has been a member of Arizona’s front office the past few seasons. [Indianapolis Colts](https://www.stampedeblue.com/), but with owner Jim Irsay involving himself in the decision to name Jeff Saturday as the team’s interim coach earlier this season, Ballard’s tenure could be more tenuous than believed. The first move is the one perhaps most expected. [Houston Texans](https://www.battleredblog.com/). Not only are some NFL coaches on the hot seat, some general managers might be in danger of losing their jobs as well.

He thinks he’s the coach and the GM.” Knee-jerk reaction: Three agents — none of whom represent interim coach Steve Wilks — two general managers and a personnel executive all asserted that the best course of action would be to promote the man who coached his backside off under duress this season, leading the Panthers to a 6-6 finish. “He hasn’t come close to building a winning culture,” one veteran NFL executive said, “and he’s tough to work for. And plenty of smart people in this league who know McCown well believe he could be a rock star in time. McNair and Caserio have been conspiring to hire former Texans QB Josh McCown — who has no coaching experience beyond high school — for two years now. It remains to be seen if McNair is willing to fire GM Nick Caserio to get a big fish such as Payton, and for prospective coaches, losing the first overall pick stings. If you are looking for the exact opposite of Hackett — and that’s often how things go in these cases — Buffalo defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier would provide instant stability and leadership and could bring some young coaches from Giants Coach Brian Daboll’s family tree — they worked together in Buffalo — to perhaps get Russ cooking again. The Rams staying in the division and hiring a potential “Sean McVay of the defense” in San Francisco defensive coordinator DeMeco Ryans would be an interesting route, too. Said one coaching agent: “The owner wants to win, and he’s actually done it. (I continue to hear intense chatter among executives and agents about the possibility of major changes with the Dallas Cowboys, Los Angeles Chargers and Miami Dolphins, pending the outcome of their playoff games, but we’ll table that for now.) So, which of these opportunities resonates the strongest, and which the weakest, with the kind of people who are directly involved in filling them — general managers and the agents themselves?

Ranking best NFL head coach openings in 2023 (Sportsnaut)

What are the best NFL head coach openings in 2023? We evaluate the best NFL coaching vacancies available this offseason based on key factors.

If a sudden change is made, though, the Saints will have one of the more intriguing vacancies. While there is a lot of pressure that comes with being the Cowboys’ head coach, it would easily rank No. If he steps down, the aging Rams’ roster and limited resources to address glaring holes on both sides of the ball would tank Los Angeles when evaluating the best NFL head coach openings. As this franchise has already shown, it blames losing records with a bad roster on the head coach and not the GM who put the team together. There is also plenty of talent to work with on both sides of the ball. As more information comes out, this becomes one of the worst NFL coaching vacancies in 2023. When you have that level of commitment from the top, it’s a good sign for a head coach who wants to be in an environment that prioritizes winning over revenue. [Russell Wilson](https://sportsnaut.com/player/russell-wilson/) showed undeniable signs of regression due to aging and injuries over the past 18 months. He is poised to return in 2023, but it’s clear he is on the hot seat. Considering how well the Panthers performed this season with Sam Darnold and after the Christian McCaffrey trade, there are a lot of reasons for optimism. Each of the NFL head coach openings comes with flaws, ranging from concerns at the ownership level to problems with the roster.
