The seven new head-coaching hires for the 2025 cycle is complete. Let’s rank the new hires:
- Ben Johnson, Chicago Bears:
Johnson isn’t super popular in these parts after he ended up being nearly as close to landing in Las Vegas as the Raiders’ head coach as some reports suggested.

2. Mike Vrabel, New England Patriots:
This was an attractive job and Vrabel was, like Johnson, was a top target.
