“…Teams now have the ability to interview potential head coaches from other teams in the final two weeks of the season, and with two NFL clubs already primed to take advantage of that, several ownership sources believe that other clubs will also opt to part with the current coach within the timeframe to take advantage of that head start.

“…Ultimately, there is an expectation among those who hire coaches that at least five-to-six teams will end up conducting coaching searches starting next month, he added.

Matt Nagy has been under heavy fire for months, so it wouldn’t be a surprise if the Bearsfinally decide that his days in Chicago are over. On the other hand, the Texans knew this would be a difficult year, butthat wouldn’t be enough for DavidCulleyto keep his job. At the end of the day, both teams may prefer to face a fresh challenge to come back stronger in 2022.
