Although Weaver will hold the title of defensive coordinator, new Ravens head coach Jesse Minter indicated in his introductory news conference last week that he would call the defensive plays for Baltimore. Last month, along with Minter and then-Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady, Weaver was among the finalists to interview for the Ravens' head coach opening. Weaver also interviewed for four other head coach vacancies this offseason: the Atlanta Falcons, Arizona Cardinals, Buffalo Bills and Pittsburgh Steelers.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports Pittsburgh is expected to interview Cowboys tight ends coach Lunda Wells this week. Wells has been in his current position since 2020, the year McCarthy arrived as Dallas' head coach. The two worked together for five years on the Cowboys' staff. Wells began his NFL coaching career in 2012 with the Giants. The 47-year-old remained in New York for eight years before joining McCarthy in Dallas.

Yet, even with the best of the best, there is always an end, and both Harbaugh and Tomlin experienced one such as this following their teams' disappointing seasons in the NFL. For Harbaugh, it ended when his now former team, the Baltimore Ravens, finished the season without making the playoffs. He coached in Baltimore for 18 years.

With the football world's sudden fixation on Mike Tomlin's future or lack of same in Pittsburgh raising the question of why coaching longevity is suddenly a bad thing, we have completely forgotten the more obvious reason for caring about the Steelers-the end of Aaron Rodgers' career. Which is fair enough: Tomlin's annual flirtation with unemployment is familiar by now, but Rodgers' career has been ending, gratingly and in public, for just as long. What's one more indignity?

"He'll be a head coach next year," Jim Harbaugh said Wednesday. "We'll be playing against him in some form or fashion."

The team fired the 74-year-old coach Monday after it went 3-14 this season, which ended with a 14-12 win over the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. Before the game, Las Vegas had lost 10 straight and already had wrapped up the No. 1 selection in the 2026 NFL draft. Raiders owner Mark Davis said in a statement that general manager John Spytek, who was hired along with Carroll last year, will lead football operations along with minority owner Tom Brady.

While we are committed to a patient and strategic plan to build a sustainable, winning football program, we have not demonstrated sufficient growth, Brinker said in a statement. Our players, fans, and community deserve a football team that achieves a standard we are not currently meeting, and we are committed to making the hard decisions necessary to reach and maintain that standard.
