Of the six open NFL coaching jobs, five have been claimed as of divisional weekend. We've yet to see any big-name coaches return or move (Jon Gruden and Mike Shanahan did not stage comebacks, and Sean Payton remained in New Orleans), but plenty of coordinators were given their shots, most notably the youngest head coach in NFL history, 30-year-old Sean McVay.
