NFL 2024 preview: What’s new? The new ideas the 8 new head coaches bring to their teams

What’s new this NFL season? Glad you asked. Frank Schwab takes you through the info you need to know.

A quarter of NFL teams will have a new head coach on the sideline this season.

It’s less than that if you don’t count Antonio Pierce, who took over the Las Vegas Raiders’ head coaching job on an interim basis last season after Josh McDaniels was fired. Pierce went 5-4 and was hired for the job on a permanent basis in January.

With or without Pierce, the turnover speaks to the growing impatience of NFL team owners. The new coaches all should know that if they don’t win in the first couple seasons, their seat will be plenty hot.

Here’s a look at all eight new head coaches for the 2024 NFL season, and what will be new for each of those teams.

Callahan is likely to change just about everything we have known about the Titans. A run-first team under Mike Vrabel, and for years before that too, Tennessee will pass it a lot more under Callahan. He has made that clear. The Titans invested in the passing game this offseason, most notably signing Calvin Ridley. Callahan is mostly an unknown as a first-time head coach who wasn’t a play-calling offensive coordinator with the Cincinnati Bengals. He’ll bring new ideas to the Titans.

Canales had a major role in Baker Mayfield’s career revival last season as offensive coordinator of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Now the Panthers hope Canales can have a similar effect on Bryce Young. Young struggled last season with a poor supporting cast. An in-season coaching change didn’t help. Canales will bring some new offensive ideas. He’ll still want to use the run game prominently, then pivot to play-action passing off that. He wants Young to get rid of the ball fast, which can’t hurt after he was sacked 62 times last season. Getting Young on the right track will determine if Canales succeeds or not.
