  2. Houston Texans Next Head Coach Odds: Jonathan Gannon the New Favorite to Get the Job
  3. Denver Broncos Next Head Coach Odds: Sportsbooks Favor Dan Quinn and Sean Payton

There are two candidates with an outside shot to know though. Tennessee Titans Defensive Coordinator Shane Bowen is given +600 odds, or an implied 14.3% chance to land the job. DeMeco Ryans is given +750 odds, or an implied 11.8% chance.

When NFL teams fire their head coach they usually look for their opposite. The Cardinals went with a young first-time offensive-minded head coach last time. So now they’ve focused on defensive minds with four of the top on the market coming from defensive backgrounds, and the top-three coaches on the market have previous head coaching experience.

With a new General Manager hired in Monti Ossenfort, it’ll be interesting to see how he approaches the search. Wouldn’t be all that surprising if he brought Shane Bowen along with him from Tennessee, he’s one to keep an eye on.
