One of the great privileges of this job is when an obsession gets tolerated and, in some cases, encouraged. My itineration of the future head coaches list began a few years ago as a banal short list of buzzy candidates to prime the sorts of readers who may have lived in a football-resistant cave all season long. Since then, with great patience from our editors and assistance from the coaching world at large, it has grown into a list that can not only round up the candidates who will likely get introduced as head coaches in January 2022, but also the ones who will take their place on the list next year and the year after that.
