- Harbaugh’s agent reported seven inquiries within 45 minutes of his firing, and while Atlanta announced an interview, reporting indicated he had only held preliminary discussions so far.
- The Giants, Falcons and Titans are widely described as early frontrunners, with New York holding informal meetings and multiple reports cautioning that no decision is imminent.
- Baltimore has begun interviews with NFL assistants and former head coaches, including Vance Joseph, Klint Kubiak, Kevin Stefanski and Matt Nagy, and plans to narrow the field to four or five finalists.
