 | CBS Sports NFL Insider Jason La Canfora tweets that Colts offensive coordinator Bruce Arians is set to interview for head coaching jobs. The two most appealing to him: Chicago and San Diego. La Canfora has been saying for weeks that the Chargers like him. | |
| 2:22 p.m. | ||
 | Andy Reid is rocking his full-form, midseason coach-speak style at his introductory Kansas City press conference. He also said that the ultimate decision for the new GM will be made by Clark Hunt. No one, understandably, believes him. | |
| 12:15 p.m. | ||
| Doug Marrone was introduced at noon on Monday and he was EXCITED YOU GUYS. Marrone also said he wants to hire coordinators with NFL experience. So don't expect a bunch of guys from Syracuse or anything. His defensive coordinator hire is going to be pretty key if he wants to win in Buffalo. | |
| 11:17 a.m. | ||
| The Browns, who are currently regrouping in their search for a head coach after bailing on Chip Kelly, will take a look at the CFL's Marc Trestman according to the AP. (The emergence of Russell Wilson, who Trestman brought from baseball to football at N.C. State, is certainly helping Trestman this offseason, huh?) | |
| 10:15 a.m. | ||
 | There's a two-horse race for the GM job in Jacksonville between Arizona's Steve Keim and Atlanta's David Caldwell. And according to Albert Breer of the NFL Network, whoever gets that job will make the decision on Mike Mularkey's future in Jacksonville. Awk. | |
| 9:45 a.m. | ||
| Andy Reid will be introduced as the Chiefs' coach as well on Monday, with his press conference going down at 2 p.m. ET in Kansas City. | |
| 9:20 a.m. | ||
| The Bills announced a noon ET press conference at their facility in Orchard Park, N.Y. No duh exclusive: it's about their decision to hire Syracuse's Doug Marrone as their next coach. | |
| 12:01 a.m. | ||
| In case you missed it from last night, Chip Kelly spurned the Eagles and decided to return to Oregon. Jerk. | |
