- The next head coach will report to Borgonzi under the revised chain of command that now has both top executives reporting directly to the owner.
- Brinker retains the president of football operations title but shifts to non-roster duties, a change the two leaders proposed and Strunk endorsed.
- The franchise plans to begin interview activity next week under NFL rules that limit candidate access based on playoff status.
- Reported targets expected to receive interview requests include Mike McCarthy, Matt Nagy, Jeff Hafley, Jesse Minter, Robert Saleh and Chris Shula.
- Team officials frame the opening as attractive due to Cam Ward’s recent progress, a strong rookie class, significant cap flexibility and a new stadium slated for 2027.
