We study the dynamics of 2D chiral $SU(N)$ gauge theories with fermions in the symmetric, antisymmetric, and fundamental representations. A consistent infrared limit of these theories consists of certain coset conformal field theories. There is also a free-fermion phase which shares the same central charge and 't Hooft anomalies but does not coincide with the coset models. We show that these two theories sit on a conformal manifold of infrared theories and are related by a current-current deformation. We further consider extensions of these theories by adding Dirac fermions and comment on possible renormalization group flows.
