This season likely catapults VJ back into the conversation of possible HC in the NFL next season. Right now I would say the following HC positions are or will be available:
Likely to be a couple surprises as well that we weren't expecting.
The question will be with that many openings who are going to be the likely candidates, Bill Belichick, Joe Brady OC for the Bills, Ben Jonson OC for the Lions will probably top the list of guys who get shots, remaining top candidates include:
