32) Anthony Lynn, Los Angeles Chargers
Someone has to be 32nd on the list. Unfortunately, that's Lynn, who has the least amount of experience as both head coach and coordinator. After earning the respect of nearly everyone in Buffalo, Lynn was elevated from running backs coach (and assistant head coach) to offensive coordinator following the departure of Greg Roman last year. While the Chargers are being touted as a sneaky AFC team, Lynn has inherited the most malleable situation of all the new coaches: new city ... new stadium ... toughest division.

31) Vance Joseph, Denver Broncos
Joseph inherits a much more tenable situation than Lynn, though like the Chargers' rookie head coach, Joseph will also be trying to keep pace with Jack Del Rio's Raiders and Andy Reid's bunch out in Kansas City. Joseph's discipline is on the defensive side of the ball, which, in theory, is a good thing, considering the Broncos' talent there. That said, former defensive coordinator Wade Phillips was that unit's unquestioned leader. In case you were wondering, Joseph's defense in Miami finished 29th overall last season. Yeesh.

14) Jack Del Rio, Oakland Raiders
Del Rio earned all of the Coach of the Year praise that came his way last year. After all, it was his game-winning go-for-two call in Week 1 that propelled the Raiders to a fast start that only let up when Derek Carr went down in Week 16. Del Rio connects with his players better than most coaches, even if he isn't considered an Xs-and-Os "genius." Don't buy it? Take a look at the I'm joking but I'm not Twitter exchange with his Pro Bowl left guard. How fun is it that the Raiders are relevant again? Give the head coach credit.

5) Andy Reid, Kansas City Chiefs
As consistent as any coach or player in the NFL, Reid might be the most successful head coach in the Super Bowl era to never hoist the Lombardi Trophy. He has certainly joined the Dan Reeves and Marty Schottenheimer stratosphere in that regard. Can Reid get the Chiefs there? If so, analysts and fans alike might discuss him as a Hall of Fame-level leader. If he can't, 173 regular season wins (nearly 10 per season), five championship game appearances and one Super Bowl loss (which might've turned out differently if a certain receiver had spent a bit more time in the hyperbaric chamber) will have to do.
