Arizona Cardinals next coach odds
2023 head coach | Odds |
---|---|
Sean Payton | +225 |
Shane Steichen | +300 |
DeMeco Ryans | +300 |
Dan Quinn | +325 |
Eric Bienemy | +700 |
Ben Johnson | +750 |
Jonathan Gannon | +750 |
Even though Kliff Kingsbury had a contract deal with the Cardinals through 2027, he was fired following a terrible season. Many clubs will be discussing the possibility of hiring iconic coach Sean Payton. Even Payton admitted that he would consider a comeback to the NFL if the appropriate situation arose.
The Eagles’ offensive coordinator, Shane Steichen, would be a strong candidate for his first head coaching position with the Cardinals after having such a successful season. Whether or whether he can do the same with Kyler Murray as he did with Jalen Hurts remains to be seen.
Carolina Panthers next coach odds
2023 head coach | Odds |
---|---|
Shane Steichen | +275 |
DeMeco Ryans | +300 |
Steve Wilks | +300 |
Jim Caldwell | +450 |
Frank Reich | +550 |
Dan Quinn | +950 |
Jim Harbaugh | +1,000 |
Ben Johnson | +1,000 |
Sean Payton | +1,000 |
Panthers head coach Steve Wilks took over for the fired Matt Rhule this season, and the team posted a decent 6-6 record under his watch. The defense is all set, but the club needs a quarterback who can lead them to victory. Wilks did a decent job leading this club, but his +300 odds suggest he won’t be moving up very soon.
Following his stellar performance in Philadelphia, Shane Steichen (+275) will be on the radar of multiple teams, including Carolina. There are other candidates for head coaching jobs, including Harbaugh and Payton, but the Panthers have +1,000 odds of landing any of them.
DeMeco Ryans (+300), the defensive coordinator for San Francisco, is another option to consider because he would inherit a formidable defensive apparatus.
Denver Broncos next coach odds
2023 head coach | Odds |
---|---|
Jim Harbaugh | +200 |
Sean Payton | +250 |
Dan Quinn | +300 |
Demeco Ryans | +550 |
Darrell Bevell | +700 |
Frank Reich | +1,000 |
Eljiro Evero | +1,500 |
Shane Steichen | +1,600 |
Leslie Frazier | +2,200 |
Even with a strong defense and Russell Wilson at his disposal, Nathaniel failed to make it through his debut season as head coach in the AFC West. When Hackett was fired, Denver’s offense was so bad that the team had a 4-11 record.
With Sean Payton and Jim Harbaugh potentially returning, the Broncos have every tool at their disposal. In particular, Harbaugh, who led Michigan to within a game of the National Championship, will not be going to the NFL to coach a club in need of rebuilding.
Who of these guys will get to lead Bronco country into conflict with vengeance in their minds?
Indianapolis Colts next coach odds
2023 head coach | Odds |
---|---|
Jim Harbaugh | +300 |
Peyton Manning | +575 |
Jeff Saturday | +700 |
DeMeco Ryans | +750 |
Mike Kafka | +1,000 |
Eric Bieniemy | +1,200 |
Shane Steichen | +1,200 |
Kellen Moore | +1,200 |
Byron Leftwich | +1,500 |
Randy Moss | +2,500 |
Harbaugh’s name has also been linked to the Indianapolis Colts, in addition to the Denver Broncos. Winning just four games in a year when they were expected to be a Super Bowl contender is the epitome of understatement when describing the Colts’ disappointing season.
After a 3-5-1 start, Frank Reich was let go, and Jeff Saturday’s (+700 to return) tenure ended with a seven-game skid. Peyton Manning, the legend of the Indianapolis Colts, is widely regarded as possessing one of the football industry’s brightest minds.
Los Angeles Rams next coach odds
2023 head coach | Odds |
---|---|
Sean McVay | -220 |
Sean Payton | +550 |
DeMeco Ryans | +550 |
Raheem Morris | +950 |
Shane Waldron | +1,100 |
Chris Foerster | +1,100 |
Ben Johnson | +1,100 |
Lou Anarumo | +1,400 |
While Sean McVay has not been fired, speculations have been circulating about his future with the team a year after he considered leaving football. Oddsmakers aren’t sure the 36-year-old is ready to retire just yet, but it’s not impossible.
If McVay leaves, Payton and the Ryans (+550) appear to be the front-runners to lead the Rams in their quest to defend their Super Bowl title.
