This season, he was the team’s defensive coordinator. To replace Sean Payton, the New Orleans Saints have bet on Dennis Allen, who also served as defensive coordinator – of the Louisiana franchise in this case – and had previously been the coach of the Raiders.
Josh McDaniels, New England’s offensive coordinator for 10 years (and ex-Denver coach), has been named coach of the Las Vegas Raiders. The New York Giants will be led by Brian Daboll, Buffalo’s offensive coordinator. Matt Eberflus, who coached the Indianapolis defense, will take charge of the Chicago Bears.
Five never-before-seen NFL coaches
San Francisco offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel has been named manager of the Miami Dolphins. Nathaniel Hackett, who was in charge of the Green Bay offense, will coach the Denver Broncos.

These last five men will, for the first time in their careers, be head coaches in the NFL.
