+ The Chicago Bears reportedly hired Canadian Football League head coach Marc Trestman as their next head coach, which isn't drawing the warmest reactions. You fire Lovie Smith after a relatively successful run with the team, for a coach that hasn't coached in the NFL for ten years, last with the Oakland Raiders in 2003.

As of this posting, there are three openings remaining with Gruden having interviewed at each -- the Cardinals, Eagles and Jaguars.
