The Seahawks have since changed course as well, making them the rare entrant on the HC carousel. Seven teams now carry head coach openings. An eighth — the Patriots — has been heavily rumored. Here is the current breakdown of where HC searches stand. If other teams decide to make changes, they will be added to this list.
