15 – Jim Schwartz
I don’t think all of the Lions problems could really be saddled with Schwartz alone. As negative as some might view him, there are others that might think his strategy will work well with their team in a fresh start.

Bisaccia has been mentioned less than a few others. He is the current Special Teams Coach for the Dallas Cowboys and could well be looking to make a huge step forward if teams continue to show a little interest.
I’m sure there are some Texans fans who would disagree with this but it wasn’t that long ago that Kubiak was considered the best man for the job there as well. Don’t be too shocked if he finds a nice place to land as soon as the 2014 season.
The current head coach at Oklahoma was mentioned by the Cleveland Browns but he wanted nothing to do with that. That doesn’t mean that he wouldn’t entertain other coaching jobs however. He is still one of the best thought of candidates whether he likes Cleveland or not.
Though things have ended for him in Washington I think Shanahan has proven himself over the years as someone whose scheme works in the right places. Assuming there is a team out there looking who would be willing to sell out their team to Shanahan’s plans, he could make a huge comeback because he has proven he can coach and do so quite effectively.
Gruden seems to like his gig with ESPN but at the same time he isn’t that far removed from being a passionate head coach. Someone will be calling him to be sure. He will return to the sidelines one day and that day could come as soon as next season.
The Quarterback Coach for the Cowboys, McAdoo’s name has come up a time or two in relation to coaching vacancies. He might not be everyone’s number one but he has a shot at a job next year. He is certainly worth several interviews.
Everyone can get a nice look at McDaniels’ handiwork as the New England Patriots make their way through the NFL Playoffs. He is the Offensive Coordinator and has been the subject of more than one rumored interview.
The current Defensive Coordinator for the Arizona Cardinals, Bowles is considered by a few people ready for the big step to an NFL head coaching job.
A lot of attention has been on the Seattle Seahawks this season for good reason. It would appear that at least one and maybe more members of their coaching staff could have the chance to move elsewhere.
Zimmer is the Cincinnati Bengals Defensive Coordinator for now but has been looked at by a few teams already. Look for him to probably be gone to the sidelines by next season.
Quinn, the Seahawks Defensive Coordinator, is actually apparently more sought after than his fellow Seahawks coordinator. It is a very real possibility that Quinn could be coaching against the Seahawks next season.
Munchak wasn’t apparently fired because of the season the Titans had but rather because he wouldn’t fire anyone on his coaching staff. Whatever your view of that; the fact remains that he is a quality head coach and would probably do well with a change of scenery.
Caldwell is the Baltimore Ravens Offensive Coordinator and certainly one of the top two coaches left available who want to roam the sidelines next season. Almost every team with a vacancy is interested in him.
Without a doubt the San Diego Chargers Offensive Coordinator is the most sought after head coach candidate out there. Every team, not almost every team but every team that needs a coach is interested in Whisenhunt. It is a guarantee he will coach someone next season. The only question is which team will win his services.
