For every team besides the remaining two teams in the Super Bowl, the NFL offseason is officially here.
Many teams have conducted head coaching interviews, along with interviews for key personnel positions as well.
However, for as many interviews that have been conducted so far, there are still a large number of remaining coaching vacancies.
Head coach vacancies: Cardinals, Colts.
OC vacancies: Buccaneers, Cardinals, Colts, Commanders, Cowboys, Panthers, Ravens, Texans, Titans.
DC vacancies: 49ers, Panthers, Saints, Texans, Vikings.

As of this morning, there are still two head coach, nine offensive coordinator, and five defensive coordinator positions available.
Interestingly enough, five of the teams looking for a new member for their coaching staff made the playoffs in 2022.
Whether it just didn’t work out between the team and that coach, or another reason, these teams that found success last year are back to the drawing board.
Whenever a new head coach, DC, or OC enters a building, the entire culture of a given team can change.
The adage, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” unfortunately doesn’t apply to every team.
The San Francisco 49ers, for example, had great success under DeMeco Ryans as their defensive coordinator, but he was snatched up as the newest head coach for the Houston Texans.
Many of the teams listed above could look incredibly different in 2023 than they did in 2022.
Inevitably, some of those will be better, and some will be worse.
Only time will tell.
For those who are counting, we have just 216 days until the 2023 NFL kickoff, where we will see all of the new-look teams.
