That hasn't translated to much succe s just yet the Jets have failed to make the playoffs in each of Saleh's first three seasons with the franchise. That came despite a 6-3 start in 2022 and the Aaron Rodgers trade during the 2023 offseason. Rodgers' torn Achilles derailed the Jets' season in 2023, so Saleh survived for another season. He enters 2024 on the hot seat and will need to see things come together on the Nolan Ryan Jersey offensive ball after he spent the last two seasons turning New York's defense into one of the best in the league. (Getty Images) Mike McDaniel Team:Miami Dolphins Years:2022-present With the departure of Mike LaFleur to the Jets, McDaniel was the one and only OC in San Francisco in 2021. He made the most of it: He got a career year out of Deebo Samuel, made Elijah Mitchell a household name and helped guide the Niners to an NFC championship game appearance. Led by the third-year development jump of Tua Tagovailoa,McDaniel's high-powered offense in Miami resulted in a playoff appearance in his first year at the helm. He continued that trend in 2023, turning Tagovailoa into the NFL's leading pa ser (4,624 yards) while Tyreek Hill was one of the NFL's best offensive players. McDaniel may not have a playoff win yet in two seasons, but he has gotten the Dolphins there both years. He also led them to a 70-point game against the Broncos, so it's clear that he's one of the best offensive minds in the NFL. (Getty Images) DeMeco Ryans Team:Houston Texans Years:2023-present A former linebacker, Ryans took over an already elite defensive unit headed up by Robert Saleh and turned it into an all-world unit. He parlayed that succe s into a head coaching job with the Texans and enjoyed a terrific first season. Despite low expectations, Ryans led the Texans to a 10-7 record and an AFC South title behind rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud. Lance McCullers Jersey The Texans won a playoff game under Stroud's leadership and also got a stellar season out of rookie edge rusher Will Anderson. Ryans figures to have coached both the Offensive Alex Bregman Jersey and Defensive Rookies of the Year and has Houston well ahead of schedule in its rebuild. He may not have surpa sed McDaniel in the power rankings among Shanahan's disciples yet, but with another strong season in 2024, he could establish himself as one of the best young coaches in the NFL.

He eventually left the 49ers to work on Saleh's staff with the Jets but was"allowed to pursue other opportunities" following a poor offensive showing in 2022. LaFleur landed on his feet as the Rams' offensive coordinator, a role that his brother, Packers coach Matt LaFleur, held before going to the Titans for one year and getting the Green Bay gig. With a second solid year with the Rams, there should be renewed interest around LaFleur as a potential coaching candidate.

Slowik's first season in that role saw him lead Stroud to an excellent season during which Stroud broke rookie records for pa sing yards and pa sing touchdowns in a single game while logging 4,108 yards, 23 touchdowns and just five interceptions in 15 starts. Slowik drew interest from NFL teams for head coaching gigs but ultimately decided to stay with the Texans while getting a hefty raise for his staying put. At just 36 years old, Slowik's star is rising. It would hardly be a surprise to see him be the next fruitful branch of Shanahan's Hector Rondon Jersey coaching tree.
