There are now eight vacant head coaching positions in the NFL – Green Bay, Oakland, Minnesota, Houston, St. Louis, New Orleans, Detroit and Kansas City. Of that group, only the KC opening was voluntary as Dick Vermeil decided to retire. It appears that there are going to be more openings than there are big-name candidates, so more than a few fans are going to be left scratching their heads when the positions are finally filled.
ESPN’s John Clayton says that the Houston job is the most attractive – coming off a two-win season, there is nowhere to go but up and the team has some talented skill position players in David Carr, Andre Johnson, Domanick Davis, along with dibs on Reggie Bush if they so choose.
