Ranking NFL head coach openings: avoid Cowboys & Jets but give Raiders a chance | Inside Coverage

Dan Campbell’s bold play calling earns the Detroit Lions a win against the Green Bay Packers in a Thursday Night Football thriller. Jason Fitz & Charles Robinson break down the game and explain just how demoralizing it is for opposing defenses when teams like the Lions continuously go for it on 4th down.

C Rob ranks both the current and likely head coach openings in the NFL based solely on the team’s QB situation. While it’s not surprising that a team like the New York Jets with an aging Aaron Rodgers is ranked worst, C Rob’s evaluation of the Dallas Cowboys with Dak Prescott might surprise you. Plus, are the Las Vegas Raiders actually a decent landing spot for a new head coach despite Gardner Minshew’s poor play?
