How Many NFL Teams Have New Head Coaches? 

Eight teams have new head coaches this year: the Falcons, Panthers, Raiders, Chargers, Patriots, Seahawks, Titans, and Commanders. 

Seven of those teams made fresh hires whereas the Raiders retained Antonio Pierce, who worked on an interim basis last season. Under Pierce, the Raiders finished 5-4.
