Big Shoes to Fill: A Look at the Ravens' Next Potential Head Coach

On January 6, 2026, the Arizona Cardinals requested permission to interview Patriots tight ends coach and passing game coordinator Thomas Brown for their head coach job, MassLive confirmed after NFL Network first reported it.
After a 3-14 season, Arizona fired Jonathan Gannon on Monday; he compiled a 15-36 record over three seasons as Arizona Cardinals head coach.
Brown’s prior playcalling and coordinator roles make him an appealing option, having served as Carolina Panthers offensive coordinator and interim head coach for the Chicago Bears.
Gannon’s firing added another vacancy to an active coaching cycle, marking the NFL’s sixth head-coaching vacancy this winter, as Arizona requested interviews with Vance Joseph, Robert Saleh, Klint Kubiak and Anthony Weaver.
A new head coach will shape Arizona’s rebuild and quarterback plans, as the franchise faces injuries, staff turnover and missed development forcing the change and requiring mentoring of a Murray replacement.
