Super Bowl, NFL coaching live updates: Chiefs, Eagles headed to New Orleans; Cowboys hire Matt Eberflus as DC

The Super Bowl LIX matchup is officially set: the Philadelphia Eagles will take on the Kansas City Chiefs in New Orleans on Sunday, February 9. The Eagles dispatched the Washington Commanders pretty easily in a 55-23 win in the NFC championship game, while the Chiefs and Buffalo Bills went down to the wire in a thrilling AFC championship game that Kansas City won 32-29.

Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs will aim to make history in New Orleans as they go for their third straight Super Bowl win, something that’s never been done before. The last team to win back-to-back Super Bowls was the 2003 and 2004 New England Patriots. Tom Brady went to 10 Super Bowls as a player, but this time he’ll be in the booth, broadcasting his first Super Bowl for Fox in his new role.

Elsewhere in the NFL, teams have been busy filling their head-coaching vacancies, with Ben Johnson (Bears), Aaron Glenn (Jets), Liam Coen (Jaguars), Brian Schottenheimer (Cowboys) and Pete Caroll (Raiders) locking down jobs. The Saints have the last open job, and they’ve interviewed a variety of candidates.

Follow along with all the news and updates ahead of Super Bowl LIX below:

  • Why are the Saints struggling to find a head coach?

  • Should the Super Bowl trophy be re-named after Tom Brady?

    Bill Belichick is over the Lombardi Trophy.

    Instead, the longtime New England Patriots head coach wants it renamed to honor the quarterback with whom he won six trophies.

    Belichick, now the head coach at North Carolina, proposed the idea of renaming the iconic Super Bowl trophy after Tom Brady on the “Let’s Go!” podcast this week. Brady won seven Super Bowl rings throughout his career, six of which were with Belichick in New England.

    “Maybe they should name it the Brady trophy,” Belichick said. “He won seven of them.”

  • Commanders OC Kliff Kingsbury takes himself out of contention for Saints’ job

    Kliff Kingsbury has reportedly decided to not pursue an NFL head coaching job for next season. The Commanders offensive coordinator did not accept any interview requests during this hiring cycle and had Washington reached the Super Bowl he would not have been able to interview until after the season ended.

    Following the Commanders’ loss to the Eagles in the NFC championship game, Kingsbury became eligible for interviews.

    The Saints, who had requested to speak to Kingsbury earlier this month, are the only NFL team without a head coach.

    “I didn’t get into this to be a head coach again,” Kingsbury told ESPN last month. “It’s not about money. It never has been about money. So, that won’t move me at all. It’s just I want to do the best job we can here for those guys and then kind of go from there.”

  • Ravens bring back former assistant, Colts head coach Chuck Pagano to coaching staff

    Chuck Pagano is returning to the Ravens.

    The former Ravens assistant and Colts head coach is joining John Harbaugh’s staff as Baltimore’s senior secondary coach. Pagano was previously on Baltimore’s staff as secondary coach and defensive coordinator under Harbaugh from 2008-11.

    He was then the head coach of the Colts for six seasons from 2012-17. After that, Pagano served as defensive coordinator for the Chicago Bears in 2019 and 2020. He’s been out of the NFL since.

    The Ravens announced the news Tuesday night.

  • Mike McCarthy won’t coach in 2025

    The former Dallas Cowboys coach is sitting this season out. Mike McCarthy has decided to focus on next season’s hiring cycle, according to the NFL Network, and will not pursue the New Orleans Saints job after all. McCarthy was due to interview with the team later this week.

    McCarthy split with the Cowboys late in the coaching cycle this month, and the Saints are the last team in the league still needing a coach.

  • Key takeaways from Brian Schottenheimer’s Cowboys press conference

  • Cowboys make it official with new DC Matt Eberflus

    The Dallas Cowboys have found their new defensive coordinator after hiring former Chicago Bears head coach Matt Eberflus, the team announced Tuesday. Eberflus’ hiring comes days after Brian Schottenheimer was hired as the franchise’s new head coach.

    Longtime Dallas DC Mike Zimmer told ESPN’s Ed Werder on Sunday that he was not planning on returning to the team as part of Schottenheimer’s staff and will likely retire.

    Eberflus was a Cowboys linebackers coach from 2011-17, as Schottenheimer’s first major hire.

  • Chiefs show off their white jerseys for Super Bowl LIX

    The last time the Kansas City Chiefs beat the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl they wore white. Hoping for a similar outcome in Super Bowl LIX, the defending back-to-back champions will sport the same jerseys while their opponents go with green.

    As the designated “home” team, the Eagles had first choice at jersey color and went with green. That opened the door for the Chiefs to go back to wearing white, like they did in Super Bowl LVII in Arizona two years ago.While the Chiefs have won the last two Super Bowls wearing both of their colors — red and white — history favors teams that don white.

    Out of the previous 58 Super Bowls, 37 teams wearing white have gone on to win the game — a success rate of 64% compared to 36% for non-white jerseys (21 winning teams). Most recently, 16 of the last 20 champions wore white, with one of those four losers being the San Francisco 49ers last year against the red-wearing Chiefs.

    Pete Carroll was introduced as the Raiders’ new head coach on Monday, along with new general manager John Spytek. Both of them emphasized competition and character as they try to implement a new culture.

    Carroll also had former player Marshawn Lynch in the audience yelling “RAIDERS!” to show he was fired up for the coach’s new opportunity and a new era in Las Vegas.

    During an “incredibly valuable” year off, Carroll said he learned from his son — offensive coordinator at the University of Washington — along with former assistants Dan Quinn and Dave Canales, the head coaches of the Commanders and Panthers, respectively.

    Carroll also reminded reporters that when he last spent a year away from football, he returned to USC and went on to win nearly 100 games and a national championship.
