So What Now?

[Fletch59]

Carolina's free to fire coaches at this point.  Some teams have - Atlanta dumped Arthur Smith already.  Ron Rivera is out in Washington as of this morning.  That's five (Chargers, Raiders included).I'm sure a lot of assistants - defensive, specifically, and interim head coach Chris Tabor - will be around, but if Carolina prefers to make a further statement by firing more offensive assistants, they might. And, Carolina's dropped GM Scott Fitterer, as you'll see scrolling further down. 

Any team with a vacancy is free to interview coaches that are unemployed or in college. They can interview assistants from teams that aren't in the playoffs, starting Wednesday, virtually only. For teams that are in, you're over a week out - so, Ben Johnson, and others, lag in the process.  Detroit has a home game this week.
