Fans had questions after five NFL head coaches missed out on the league’s annual photo this week.
Most of the coaches are in Orlando, Florida at the moment as the NFL annual owners meeting is taking place there. So they came together for a photo on Sunday which was shared to social media by ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Schefter noted that Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin, Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton, Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy, Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni, and Chicago Bears head coach Matt Eberflus weren’t there.

Plenty of users were also pointing out that they could hardly recognize half of the men in the photo.
To be fair, there are a few new head coaches in there, but they’re hardly strangers to the NFL.
Jim Harbaugh Seemed Pleased To Join The NFL Coaches For A Photo Op After Returning To The League This Year
Jim Harbaugh, who has been here before, appeared to be the happiest of the bunch. Sitting between his brother, John Harbaugh, and Andy Reid, the former Michigan Wolverines HC put on his best smile.
He did seem genuinely pleased to sit down with the other NFL coaches ahead of the 2024 season after returning to the league following a lengthy spell in Ann Arbor.
Harbaugh led Michigan to a National Championship earlier this year but likely decided that it was best for him to return to the NFL due to all of the scrutiny he’s come under in the NCAA.
The former Wolverines coach served two suspensions during the 2023 season and would have probably gotten banned again had he stuck around as the program is still being investigated for sign stealing.
