2025 NFL coaching/GM tracker: Raiders fire GM Tom Telesco after one season

FOX Sports
Published

Now that the 2024 NFL regular season has ended, the coaching carousel is in full spin.

Let's take a look at who's staying and who's going, and for those teams with vacancies across the league, who they have their eyes on early in the process.

Hirings

Cleveland Browns (OL)

  • The Browns have hired Mike Bloomgren as the new offensive line coach, the team announced on Jan. 8. Bloomgren first coached in the NFL in 2007 when he joined the Jets staff as an offensive quality control coach for two seasons. He then moved into an offensive assistant role in 2009 and, in 2010, served as an assistant offensive coordinator. Bloomgren is returning to the NFL after a lengthy stint in the collegiate ranks from 2011-2024 at Stanford and Rice.

San Francisco 49ers (OC)

  • The 49ers will promote Klay Kubiak from offensive passing game specialist to offensive coordinator, Kyle Shanahan said at his end-of-season press conference. Kubiak will be the first official OC under Shanahan since Mike McDaniel in 2021, though Shanahan will still call plays.

Firings

Carolina Panthers (S, OLB, QC)

  • The Panthers fired a few assistant coaches after surrendering 534 points, the most in a 17-game season. Safeties coach Bert Watts, outside linebackers coach Tem Lukabu and quality control coach Bobby Maffei are all out, while defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero will remain.

Chicago Bears (HC)

  • The Bears fired head coach Matt Eberflus after two-plus seasons on Nov. 29. Chicago went 14-32 over Eberflus' tenure, including a 4-8 record with him at the helm in 2024. Thomas Brown, the team's interim offensive coordinator at the time, is serving as the interim coach.

Cincinnati Bengals (DC, LB, DL, OL)

  • The Bengals fired defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo, who held the position since 2019.  They also dismissed linebackers coach James Bettcher, defensive line coach Marion Hobby and offensive line coach Frank Pollack.

Cleveland Browns (OC, OL)

  • The Browns fired offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey and offensive line coach Andy Dickerson. The Browns, who finished 3-14, were last in points (15.2 per game) and 28th in total yards (300.8) per game this season.

Indianapolis Colts (DC)

  • The Colts announced they had parted ways with defensive coordinator Gus Bradley one day after their season ended. Bradley, a longtime NFL defensive coordinator and former head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars, had been with the Colts since 2022. Indianapolis' defense ranked No. 29 in yards allowed in 2024.

Jacksonville Jaguars (HC)

  • The Jaguars have decided to move on from head coach Doug Pederson after a second straight disappointing season. Jacksonville went 4-13 this year, and Pederson lost 18 of his last 23 games.

Las Vegas Raiders (HC)

  • The Raiders have parted ways with head coach Antonio Pierce. The 46-year-old was hired by the team in 2022 to serve as linebackers coach, but was elevated to interim head coach in 2023, following the firing of Josh McDaniels. The Raiders went 4-13 this season under Pierce in 2024, finishing fourth in the AFC West.
  • Las Vegas has fired general manager Tom Telesco after just one season. Telesco was previously the general manager of the Chargers from 2013-23.

New England Patriots (HC)

  • The Patriots are parting ways with head coach Jerod Mayo after one season as the successor to Bill Belichick. New England finished the season 4-13, last in the AFC East.

New Orleans Saints (HC)

  • The Saints fired head coach Dennis Allen after two-plus seasons on Nov. 4. New Orleans went 18-25 during Allen's tenure, losing seven straight games to fall to 2-7 before parting ways with its head coach. Saints assistant head coach and special teams coordinator Darren Rizzi is serving as the interim coach.

New York Jets (HC, GM)

  • The Jets fired head coach Robert Saleh after three-plus seasons on Oct. 8. New York went 20-36 during Saleh's tenure, going 2-3 to start the 2024 season before dismissing him. Defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich is serving as the interim coach.
  • The Jets fired general manager Joe Douglas after five-plus seasons on Nov. 19. New York failed to make the postseason once over Douglas' tenure, holding a losing record in each season. Senior personnel advisor Phil Savage is serving as the interim general manager.

San Francisco 49ers (DC, ST)

  • The 49ers fired special teams coordinator Brian Schneider, who had held the job since 2022. San Francisco ranked last in the league in expected points added on special teams, while kicker Jake Moody connected on just 70.6 percent of his field goals.
  • The Niners have a vacancy at defensive coordinator for the third straight offseason. They're moving on from DC Nick Sorensen, according to multiple reports. However, they still want to keep Sorensen, who has experience coaching special teams, on staff.

Seattle Seahawks (OC)

  • The Seahawks fired offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb after one season on Jan. 6. Seattle's offense ranked 14th in yards and 18th in scoring during the season, but had some struggles in the season's homestretch. The Seahawks also ranked 28th in rushing.

Tennessee Titans (GM)

  • The Titans fired executive vice president/general manager Ran Carthon after two seasons on Jan. 7. Tennessee's decision came after the franchise secured the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. The Titans were one of the worst teams in the league during Carthon's two seasons at the helm, going a combined 9-23. Last offseason, he was given the additional title of executive vice president, giving him oversight over all football operations. Brian Callahan, whom Carthon hired to replace Mike Vrabel, will remain head coach after going 3-14 in his first season.

Who's staying

Carolina Panthers (DC)

  • Head coach Dave Canales said defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero will return next season. Carolina's defense allowed 31.4 points per game, the sixth-most in league history.

Cleveland Browns (HC, GM)

  • Despite finishing last in the AFC North, the Browns are expected to bring back both head coach Kevin Stefanski and general manager Andrew Berry, according to ESPN. Stefanski, a two-time AP Coach of the Year, has brought the Browns to the playoffs twice in his five seasons in Cleveland.

Indianapolis Colts (HC, GM)

  • The Colts closed out their season with a 26-23 overtime win against the Jaguars, finishing with an 8-9 record and missing out on the playoffs for the fourth straight year. Soon after, team owner Jim Irsay affirmed his commitment to head coach Shane Steichen and general manager Chris Ballard. Both will be back in Indianapolis next season.

Miami Dolphins (HC, GM)

  • The Dolphins will be running it back with their head coach and general manager following a disappointing 8-9 season. Head coach Mike McDaniel and general manager Chris Grier will remain in their roles for the 2025 season, the team announced on Jan. 5.

New York Giants (HC, GM)

  • The Giants announced that head coach Brian Daboll and GM Joe Schoen will return for the 2025 season.
