I've been maintaining a spreadsheet of the coaching interviews. Popular names that have not been interviewed at all..... Josh McDaniels, Jim Harbaugh, Marvin Lewis, Raheem Morris.

Raiders still have HC Rich Bisaccia and GM Mike Mayock in place, but it hasn’t stopped Las Vegas from looking.
Raiders requested permission to interview Patriots ILB coach Jerod Mayo for HC and Patriots director of player personnel Dave Ziegler for their GM job, per source.

Haven't the Broncos been ~7-9 seemingly every year since Manning retired.
With Fangio gone the defense likely regresses and Mahomes and Herbert continue to widen the divisional gap.
Jacksonville is the best potential QB and divisional situation of the current openings.
Raiders relieve Mike Mayock of GM responsibilities. If Gruden was calling the early picks and Mayock was calling the late picks... I would have probably given Mayock another year, but what would be the point of him hiring a coach and still getting canned next year and starting over again.

As for Flores, I think he got a raw deal in Miami but here is the question I want to know. Did he help Tua get better? Couple that with, "Is Tua a coach killer?"
FWIW Watson is a far superior QB to Tua, but I don't know if lobbying for him while he has all these accusations out there is the smartest thing.
As for the Bronco's, a 7-10 team with a bad QB is suddenly a 12-5 with a competent one.
I hear ya, but the real equation may be the Broncos need an "average QB" just to maintain a 7-10 record next season and an above average QB (Wilson) to just make the playoffs as a WC. The defense will regress some without Fangio and assuming opposing quality teams might need to game plan for more than 20 points to beat Denver.
Five of the Broncos seven wins this season were against the dregs of the NFL thanks to the NFC East crossover and the last place schedule (a nice win vs. Dallas but only 1-5 in division against the AFC West). It was a weak 7-10 this season given the schedule.
Five of the wins vs. the Giants, Jags, Jets (Weeks 1-3 dream starting schedule against the Giants and then two rookie QBs) plus Detroit and the WFT
The AFC West gets the NFC West next season and they also get a "last place" game vs. the Ravens
As an aside, the last place Ravens will benefit from the last place crossover schedule next year against the Giants, Broncos and Jaguars. Noting the Bengals will get Dallas, KC and Tennessee.

Raheem Morris gets his first interview request after de-pantsing the Cardinals. With Vikings
Here's the link to my spreadsheet where I am tracking things

Giants have started asking for interviews and have asked about Quinn. He is the first coach to have 5 interviews. And he turned down Jags interview. Could have been 6. Nate Hackett and Kelllen Moore are only guys with 4.
Little surprised that there is not more interest in Pederson. He's at 3 interviews.
On the GM side interesting that Indy Asst GM Dodds pulled his name from consideration from Bears, while his DC Eberflus is going for 2nd interview. Many thought they might be a tandem.

Here's an interesting one. Texans interviewed Josh McCown. He has never coached at any level. In any manner. He was with them as a player in 2020. He interviewed for them last year. Some sources are saying they really want to hire him, and have reached out to other clubs for validation, and as a favor the Jags "had a conversation" with him.
One side story, is that Jack Easterly who is now the team Exec VP because he was so qualified as Patriots team chaplain, is a devout Christian and wants to hire McCown, who is also.
Crazy stuff.
