Coaching carousel quickly becomes musical chairs

Like every year, the coaching carousel spins for a few weeks before becoming a game of musical chairs.

It’s really a two-way match. In some situations, the candidates are the targets and the teams are the chairmen. Elsewhere, teams are trying to squat on the coach before anyone else can.

Since Mike Vrabel was a given for the Patriots from the start, the first major domino to fall was Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson landing with the Bears. Next up appears to be Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn, who in this scenario is the chairman and the Jets and Saints (and possibly others) are the chairs.

If/when the Jets hire Glenn, that leaves four openings: Saints, Raiders, Cowboys, Jaguars.

And the game continues, with candidates looking for teams and teams looking for candidates and the music getting closer to stopping.

Here’s our current semi-wild guess on each: (1) Mike McCarthy for the Saints; (2) Pete Carroll for the Raiders; (3) Brian Schottenheimer or Kellen Moore for the Cowboys; and (4) your semi-wild guess is as good as ours for the Jaguars.
