Here's a list of all 32 teams' setups entering the 2024 NFL season.

2024 NFL Coaching Changes

NFC East

Dallas Cowboys

Mike McCarthy enters his fifth season as the Dallas Cowboys' head coach and has notched three straight 12-win seasons, but the team is 1-3 in the postseason under his command.

OC Brian Schottenheimer returns in the same role after leading the team to the second-best adjusted offense in the league (via numberFire's metrics).

Mike Zimmer takes over as DC in his first NFL role since coaching the Vikings from 2014 to 2021. Zimmer had been an analyst and consultant to Jackson State and Colorado for the last two years.

The Giants are sticking with Mike Kafka as the offensive coordinator for the third straight season despite the team ranking 30th in points per game in 2023 and 29th in adjusted offensive efficiency.

Whitt Jr. was the Cowboys' pass-game coordinator and secondary coach from 2021 to 2023.

  • 2024 Win Total: 8.5
    • Over: -150
    • Under: +122

Chicago has -- in addition to a new rookie QB in Caleb Williams -- new coordinators.

Shane Waldron is the OC after serving in the same role for the Seahawks from 2021 to 2023. Seattle's offense ranked 11th last season, per numberFire.

Eric Washington will be the defensive coordinator. Washington was the assistant head coach and defensive line coach for the Bills from 2020 to 2023.

Detroit Lions

  • 2024 Win Total: 10.5
    • Over: -115
    • Under: -105

Dan Campbell has turned things around for the Detroit Lions, and they've finished 3-13-1, 9-8, and 12-5 in his three years as coach.

Ben Jonson and Aaron Glenn return as OC and DC, respectively. Detroit was 4th offensively and 24th defensively a year ago, per numberFire.

Green Bay Packers

  • 2024 Win Total: 9.5
    • Over: -134
    • Under: +110

Matt LaFleur returns as the Green Bay Packers coach for the sixth straight season. The team is 56-27 (67.5%) under LaFleur in the regular season in that span but just 17-17 over the last two seasons after three straight 13-win campaigns prior.

Adam Stenavich has been with the Packers since 2019 and has been the offensive coordinator since 2022. The team has ranked better than average in points per game in each of those two years.

Defensively, Jeff Hafley takes over as the coordinator after coaching at Boston College for four seasons.

Minnesota Vikings

  • 2024 Win Total: 7.5
    • Over: +132
    • Under: -162

Kevin O'Connell will continue to lead the Minnesota Vikings for the straight third season after 13-4 and 7-10 campaigns in his first two.

Wes Phillips enters his third season as the OC; the Vikings finished 17th in adjusted offensive efficiency last season and now enter a new era post Kirk Cousins.

Brian Flores returns as the defensive coordinator for the second straight season for Minnesota. Their defense was 26th against the pass but 12th against the rush last season, via numberFire's metrics.

NFC South

Atlanta Falcons

  • 2024 Win Total: 9.5
    • Over: -148
    • Under: +120

It's a new era for the Atlanta Falcons.

Raheem Morris takes over as the head coach with Zac Robinson in the OC role and Jimmy Lake in the DC position.

Morris served as the Rams' defensive coordinator from 2021 to 2023 and brings with him Robinson (the Rams' QB coach & passing game coordinator for 2022 and 2023) and Lake (LA's assistant head coach in 2023).

Carolina Panthers

  • 2024 Win Total: 5.5
    • Over: -128
    • Under: +104

Ejiro Evero remains in place as the Carolina Panthers' defensive coordinator after guiding the unit to the 28th-best adjusted defense (via numberFire's metrics) in 2023.

But the team has a new head coach (Dave Canales) and offensive coordinator (Brad Idzik).

Canales was the Buccaneers' OC last season, when they ranked 12th in adjusted offense. Idzik was the Bucs' WR coach in 2023.

New Orleans Saints

  • 2024 Win Total: 7.5
    • Over: -130
    • Under: +106

The New Orleans Saints will have Dennis Allen at the helm for a third straight season after finishing 7-10 in 2022 and 9-8 in 2023.

The team employs Larry Foote as the pass-game coordinator and Kacy Rodgers as the run-game coordinator on defense.

Liam Coen takes over as the OC. He was the Rams' offensive coordinator in 2022 and the Kentucky Wildcats' OC in 2023. Kentucky finished 33rd in SP+ last season on offense.

NFC West

Arizona Cardinals

  • 2024 Win Total: 6.5
    • Over: -178
    • Under: +144

The Arizona Cardinals are bringing back the same trio they had in 2023 when they finished 4-13 at the bottom of the NFC West: Jonathan Gannon (head coach), Drew Petzing (offensive coordinator), and Nick Rallis (defensive coordinator).

Via numberFire's metrics, the Cardinals did have the most efficient rushing offense in the NFL -- but also the league's worst overall defense -- once adjusting for opponents faced.

Los Angeles Rams

  • 2024 Win Total: 8.5
    • Over: -144
    • Under: +118

Sean McVay returns as head coach for the Los Angeles Rams for his eighth straight season. McVay has a 60.9% win rate as the Rams' head coach (70-45) in the regular season and is 7-4 (63.6%) in the playoffs. Mike LaFleur also remains as OC.

Chris Shula, who has been with the Rams since 2017, will serve as the team's defensive coordinator after Raheem Morris' departure to coach the Falcons.

L.A. ranked top 8 in adjusted offensive efficiency, per numberFire, and 21st in defense last season.

San Francisco 49ers

  • 2024 Win Total: 11.5
    • Over: +122
    • Under: -150

Kyle Shanahan enters his eighth season as head coach for the San Francisco 49ers, and he also calls plays for the offense. The team is 64-51 (55.7%) in the regular season under Shanahan and 8-4 in the playoffs.

Nick Sorensen will take over as the defensive coordinator this season. Sorensen has been with the 49ers since 2022 and most recently served as the defensive passing game/nickel coach.

Last season, the 49ers were one of five teams to rank top-10 in both adjusted offensive efficiency (1st) and adjusted defensive efficiency (10th).

Seattle Seahawks

  • 2024 Win Total: 7.5
    • Over: -138
    • Under: +112

The Seattle Seahawks have a new trio in charge for 2024.

Head coach Mike Macdonald takes over head coaching duties after spending two seasons as the Ravens' defensive coordinator.

Ryan Grubb will serve as the OC with Aden Durde in the DC role.

Grubb was the OC and QB coach for the Washington Huskies for the last two seasons. Washington was fifth in SP+ offensively in 2023. Durde had been the defensive line coach for the Cowboys since 2021.

AFC East

Buffalo Bills

  • 2024 Win Total: 10.5
    • Over: +112
    • Under: -138

Only three coaches have longer active tenures than Sean McDermott with the Buffalo Bills. In his seven-season stint, McDermott's record is 73-41 (64.0%) in the regular season and 5-6 (45.5%) in the playoffs.

Joe Brady returns as the offensive coordinator after leading the Bills to a top-six overall unit by yards, points, and adjusted efficiency.

Bobby Babich has been with the team since 2017 -- same as McDermott -- as the assistant defensive backs coach, the safeties coach, and the linebackers coach. He will now be slotting in as the DC for 2024.

Miami Dolphins

  • 2024 Win Total: 9.5
    • Over: -122
    • Under: +100

Mike McDaniel enters year three with the Miami Dolphins looking to build on his 20-14 (58.8%) regular season record and to get a playoff win (0-2) for the first time.

Frank Smith has been McDaniel's OC in both seasons so far; the team was fifth in adjusted efficiency in 2023.

Anthony Weaver will look to continue defensive success in his first year as DC. Miami was 12th in adjusted defense last season. He spent the last three seasons with the Ravens' defensive line and the last two there as the associate head coach.

New England Patriots

  • 2024 Win Total: 4.5
    • Over: -162
    • Under: +132

Jerod Mayo is one of the league's highest-profile new hires and looks to begin a new era for the New England Patriots. He has spent the last five seasons with the team in a coaching capacity and was the linebackers coach for the last two.

Alex Van Pelt spent the last four seasons as the Browns' offensive coordinator. Their offense ranked 28th in adjusted efficiency last season; the Patriots were 31st.

DeMarcus Covington has been with the team since 2017 and was the defensive line coach from 2020 to 2023. He is now the defensive coordinator after the team posted the best adjusted rushing efficiency numbers of any squad in 2023.

New York Jets

  • 2024 Win Total: 9.5
    • Over: -170
    • Under: +138

Robert Saleh remains the head coach for the New York Jets after two consecutive 7-10 seasons.

AFC North

Baltimore Ravens

  • 2024 Win Total: 11.5
    • Over: +132
    • Under: -162

John Harbaugh has coached the Baltimore Ravens since 2008. He is 160-99 (61.8%) in the regular season and 12-10 in the postseason.

Todd Monken returns for the second season as the team's OC. They were seventh in adjusted efficiency last season.

Zach Orr is the new defensive coordinator. He was a defensive analyst for the team from 2017 to 2020. He was with the Jaguars in 2021 but then returned as the inside linebackers coach for the Ravens in 2022 before being promoted to DC ahead of this season.

Cincinnati Bengals

  • 2024 Win Total: 10.5
    • Over: -134
    • Under: +110

Zac Taylor has coached the Cincinnati Bengals since 2019, and his defensive coordinator, Lou Anarumo, has been beside him in each of the five seasons prior.

Dan Pitcher takes over as offensive coordinator after spending the last four seasons as the team's quarterback coach. Pitcher has been with the team since 2016.

Cleveland Browns

  • 2024 Win Total: 8.5
    • Over: -138
    • Under: +112

Kevin Stefanski returns to coach the Cleveland Browns for the fifth straight season. The team is 37-30 (55.2%) in that stretch with two playoff appearances (1-2 overall).

Jim Schwartz led the defense to the top overall adjusted efficiency metrics in the NFL in 2023, his first in the role with the team.

Cleveland was 28th offensively, however, and Ken Dorsey will look to turn things around in his first season as OC. Dorsey was the OC for the Bills in 2022 and 2023.

Pittsburgh Steelers

  • 2024 Win Total: 8.5
    • Over: +126
    • Under: -154

Mike Tomlin is the longest-tenured head coach in the NFL, having started in 2007. The team is 173-100-2 (63.3%) in that 17-year span and 8-10 in the playoffs with 11 postseason appearances.

Teryl Austin returns for his third season as the defensive coordinator. The Pittsburgh Steelers have finished top 10 in scoring defense in both of those seasons.

Offensively, Arthur Smith takes over after three seasons as the Falcons' head coach. He likely brings a run-heavy offense to Pittsburgh -- if history is any indication.

AFC South

Houston Texans

  • 2024 Win Total: 9.5
    • Over: -150
    • Under: +122

DeMeco Ryans (head coach), Bobby Slowik (offensive coordinator), and Matt Burke (defensive coordinator) all return after strong debuts in 2023.

The Houston Texans were 10-7 last season and made the playoffs.

Houston was top-20 in both offense (15th) and defense (19th), per numberFire's metrics. That made them one of just 12 teams to do that in 2023.

Indianapolis Colts

  • 2024 Win Total: 8.5
    • Over: -104
    • Under: -118

Shane Steichen also debuted as head coach in the AFC South last season. His Indianapolis Colts finished 9-8.

Under Pederson, the Jaguars are 18-16 (52.9%) in the regular season and 1-1 in the postseason.

This season, Ryan Nielsen takes over as the defensive coordinator. Nielsen was the co-defensive coordinator for the Saints in 2022 and the DC for the Falcons last season. Atlanta finished 11th in defensive efficiency in 2023.

Tennessee Titans

  • 2024 Win Total: 6.5
    • Over: +110
    • Under: -134

There's a new staff in town for the Tennessee Titans for 2024.

Brian Callahan takes the reigns as the head coach. Callahan had spent the previous five seasons as the Bengals' offensive coordinator.

His offensive coordinator will be Nick Holz, who has 11 years of NFL coaching experience. Holz was the Jaguars' passing game coordinator in 2023.

Dennard Wilson will be the team's defensive coordinator and has 12 years of NFL experience. He was the defensive backs coach for the Baltimore Ravens in 2023, a unit that was second in pass defense efficiency, per numberFire.

AFC West

Denver Broncos

  • 2024 Win Total: 5.5
    • Over: -162
    • Under: +132

Sean Payton's second season with the Denver Broncos comes off the heels of an 8-9 debut campaign.

Joe Lombardi (OC) and Vance Joseph (DC) return in their same roles, as well.

Last season, Denver finished 18th in adjusted offensive efficiency but 25th in adjusted defensive efficiency, per numberFire.

Kansas City Chiefs

  • 2024 Win Total: 11.5
    • Over: -122
    • Under: +100

Andy Reid returns to the Kansas City Chiefs for his 12th season. His Chiefs are back-to-back Super Bowl Champions and have three titles in the last five years.

Steve Spagnuolo has been the defensive coordinator since 2019.

They are returning Matt Nagy as the offensive coordinator for his second season.

Last season, K.C. was one of five teams with a top-10 offense (10th) and defense (4th).

Las Vegas Raiders

  • 2024 Win Total: 6.5
    • Over: -122
    • Under: +100

Antonio Pierce took over as the Las Vegas Raiders' interim head coach last season and led them to a 5-4 record. He was named the team's new head coach in January.

Patrick Graham will return as the team's defensive coordinator, a role he's had since 2022.

But Luke Getsy transitions to the OC role after spending the last two seasons with the Bears in the same capacity. The Bears were 5th in adjusted rushing but 25th in adjusted passing in 2023.

Los Angeles Chargers

  • 2024 Win Total: 8.5
    • Over: -144
    • Under: +118

In a high-profile hiring, the Los Angeles Chargers brought in Jim Harbaugh to lead the team in 2024 and beyond.

Harbaugh led the 49ers to a 44-19-1 (69.5%) record from 2011 to 2013. No active coach has a better career NFL winning percentage.

His offensive coordinator will be Greg Roman, who held that role for the Ravens for the last four seasons.

Jesse Minter follows Harbaugh from Michigan, where Minter was the DC for the last two seasons. Michigan was first in defensive SP+ last season.
