It’s getting to that time of year where the game of musical chairs continues on NFL sidelines.
With a number of coaches either already fired or being shown the door at the end of the season, Broncos beat writer Ryan O’Halloran revealed the top five head coach openings per a league source.
According to O’Halloran’s source, the Las Vegas Raiders are the most attractive job on the market right now.

Followed by the Broncos, Vikings, Bears and Jaguars. Per the NFL source, Denver’s general manager George Paton is a GM that coaches “want to work with.”
The Raiders already have a playoff caliber team in place. And are looking to build a brand in a new city with new facilities. Meanwhile the Broncos have more than enough talent to compete, but are largely held back by their QB situation.

The Vikings have plenty of pieces as well. And with Aaron Rodgers potentially leaving Green Bay after the season, perhaps the NFC North could be their’s for the taking. Especially with the Bears and Lions in the current state that they’re in.
Both the Bears and Jags have young, first-round QB talents that need to be developed. But that could make those jobs enticing to the right candidate.
