Black Monday in the NFL, the day after the final game of the regular season, is typically a day of firings. The New England Patriots didn’t wait, firing Jarod Mayo on Sunday. And while Black Monday 2025 still had a few firings (Doug Pederson of the Jacksonville Jaguars and a number of coordinators around the league), the Chicago Bears, New York Jets, and New Orleans Saints had fired their head coaches earlier in the season and had already done their homework.
That turned Black Monday into a day of interview requests. Not just a few, but a massive flood that threatened to drown anyone who tried to keep up.
But Yahoo Sports is here for you. Below you can find a list of which teams have requested interviews with which coaches and coordinators, and when those interviews will reportedly take place. The lists will be updated as new information becomes available.
The Jets will reportedly interview 13 people for their head coach opening, a number that includes both currently employed coordinators/coaches and several former head coaches who are not actively coaching for an NFL team.
