INSIDE THE NFL

Coaching Hot List

by Peter King

Posted: Wed December 24, 1997

Don't expect the turnover there was last season, when 11 teams replaced coaches, but there should be a handful of changes in early '98. The Colts fired Lindy Infante on Monday, and the Cowboys, Seahawks, Vikings and Raiders are among the other teams most likely to make a move. Here's a short list of candidates.

COACH '97 POSITION

1. George Seifert unemployed

Hunting and fishing for a year were nice, but the Seahawks' Microsoft money beckons

2. Bill Belichick Jets ass't. head coach

He's a brilliant tactician, but he's no Jay Leno

3. Nick Saban Michigan State coach

A former NFL assistant and a safe pick for the '90s: loves defense, running game

4. Tyrone Willingham Stanford coach

Executives around the league say he has emerged as the hottest black candidate

5. Jon Gruden Eagles off. coordinator

The 34-year-old boy wonder could be among the top candidates in Dallas
