Byron Leftwich, a former NFL quarterback, two-time Super Bowl winner and recently Tom Brady’s offensive coordinator with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, interviewed for the same job with the Seahawks recently. CBS Sports’ Jonathan Jones reported that Friday.

Former Tennessee Titans coach Mike Vrabel interviewed with the New England Patriots for the team's head coach opening, the Patriots announced Thursday.

The New England Patriots could be on the verge of hiring their next coach after completing an interview with Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson on Friday, the fourth candidate to be brought in as part of the search to fill the vacancy created by the firing of Jerod Mayo.

After a 5-12, last-place season that included 10 consecutive losses and the in-season firings of coach Matt Eberflus and offensive coordinator Shane Waldron, the Chicago Bears are now embarking on a search to hire the franchise’s next head coach.

"I’m not really in the Christmas spirit right now for hope," Callahan admitted Sunday after the Tennessee Titans' 38-30 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. "I’m just trying to play good football."

Former NFL GM Rod Graves criticized the Patriots' usage of the Rooney Rule by interviewing two black candidates before hiring Mike Vrabel.

Plus, the Cowboys were on-brand in their handling of Mike McCarthy, and thoughts about future contracts for Sam Darnold and Brock Purdy.

Mike Vrabel was the obvious choice for the Patriots, but how his run with the franchise goes could depend on how personnel choices are made.

The Patriots turned to Vrabel after their quick coaching search wrapped up just seven days after the team fired Jerod Mayo.

New Patriots coach Mike Vrabel insists his style is his own, but he might borrow a few techniques to help rebuild the team.
