Eight NFL head coaching vacancies were created in the month of January, and all eight have been filled by the first morning of February.
The Cincinnati Bengals supplied one of the new hires in Brian Callahan, the new head coach for the Tennessee Titans, whom they’ll also face sometime during the 2024 regular season.
Callahan is not the only new hire set to play Cincinnati next season. Six of the league’s eight new head coaches will be on the Bengals’ schedule, which is the most out of any team. That’s six teams in which there is no prior history or tape to look back on beforehand. Six teams with brand new identities, schemes, and cultures.

Pierce became the rare interim head coach that earned the job after the season concluded. He had ample support from inside the locker room, notably Pro Bowl edge defender Maxx Crosby, after leading the Raiders to an impressive 5-4 record to close out the 2023 season. The Bengals will host the Raiders next season as they’ll face the entire AFC West.
