Denver Broncos have fired Vic Fangio
The Denver Broncos announced on Sunday (January 9) morning that they were parting ways with HC Vic Fangio. The decision to fire Fangio wasn’t an easy one for GM George Paton, who likes and respects the former head coach. But a change became necessary after the Broncos finished in the bottom 10 in scoring in each of the last three seasons.

The Houston Texans fired David Culley on Thursday after one year even though when they hired him, they knew he’d be saddled with a terrible roster, no quarterback, and even less of a chance to succeed.

The Las Vegas Raiders need to replace Jon Gruden
The Raiders officially moved on from GM Mike Mayock right before Monday Night Football during the Wild Card Round. As PFN’s Tony Pauline mentioned on PFN’s Between the Hashes podcast in October, there were plans to fire Mayock after the draft. Yet, over the summer, there was a mass exodus of front office personnel in the organization, including team president Marc Badain, who had been with the organization since 1991.
The Raiders also made it into the playoffs under interim head coach Rich Bisaccia. He currently still remains with the team, but they have put in requests to interview other candidates.

Mike Zimmer and Rick Spielman are both out for the Minnesota Vikings
After missing the playoffs yet again, the Vikings have, unsurprisingly, decided that a change was required. When the team added Kirk Cousins, they felt they were just a QB away from going all the way. However, it has not played out that way. Now with one year remaining on Cousins’ contract, the team appears to be starting fresh.

The New York Giants moved on from Joe Judge… finally
After it appeared as though Judge was set to remain in New York, the Giants fired Judge on Tuesday. In his two seasons with the team, Judge won just 10 games, going 4-13 in 2021. Judge fired his offensive coordinator, Jason Garrett, during the season. However, the team remained stagnant and the offense remain unimaginative right through to Week 18.
