This is the 11th interview for HC, with at least four more remaining:

Chargers president of football operations John Spanos said in December
that ownership would “cast a wide net” in the searches for a new coach
and new GM. The Chargers have stuck to that. Vrabel would be the 11th
head coach candidate they have interviewed in the cycle. They also
reportedly have four remaining requests to coordinators — Detroit Lions
offensive coordinator Ben Johnson, Lions defensive coordinator Aaron
Glenn, Dallas Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn and Los Angeles
Rams defensive coordinator Raheem Morris. The Vrabel interview feels
like the Chargers continuing this trend and doing their due diligence
with candidates that fit their mold. — Popper

I read that Johnson is interviewing (presumably via Zoom) on Saturday, just one day before the Lions play the Bucs in the divisional round. Seems a bit odd.

If Johnson is smart he'll stay where he is and become part of NFL history.

Wonder how long these Zoom interviews last. I think Ben Johnson is a likely candidate for the Washington job. Quinn might still land in Seattle.

Heard that the Raiders are working on a deal to offer interim coach Antonio Pierce the full-time job per Schefter: https://twitter.com/AdamSchefter/status/1748442787836547397

Raiders are working to finalize a deal to hire Antonio Pierce as their head coach, per sources.

Raiders made Pierce their interim HC on Halloween night and now are closing in on making it a full-time job. Players who campaigned for Pierce soon are expected to be happy.
