Philip Rivers Drawing Attention as NFL Head Coach

Philip Rivers drew NFL coaching interest after his brief 2025 season return, passing for 544 yards and four touchdowns, with several teams researching him.

  • Philip Rivers could emerge as a head-coaching candidate this offseason, NFL.com reported on Jan. 4, 2026, as teams have begun researching him and making background calls.
  • Coming out of nearly five years of retirement, Philip Rivers rejoined the Indianapolis Colts after Daniel Jones tore his Achilles, while coaching at St. Michael Catholic, Fairhope, Ala., where he mentors his son Gunner Rivers, a four-star quarterback.
  • Despite an 0-3 stretch for Indianapolis, Rivers threw for 544 yards, four touchdowns and three interceptions during his three-game stint with the Colts.
  • This offseason only the New York Giants and Tennessee Titans currently have openings, and Ian Rapoport reported Rivers will likely get at least one interview before Black Monday.
  • Several franchises researched Philip Rivers last year but he reportedly showed little interest, while the Colts' Jeff Saturday hiring as a high-school coach caution offers precedent.
