Head Coach turnover in the NFL this year (1 Viewer)

Is it just me, or does it seem like there are a LOT more head coaching changes this offseason than we've seen before?

Sorry, I'm too busy dodging rolling heads. What were you asking?

Saw somewhere (don't remember)that the average is six per season. Last year the NFL only had three, so if that number is correct then this is just an adjustment. One thing that makes seem really bad is the handful of people who were under when, not if category.

This year is higher than usual, but last year was much lower than usual.

Six isn't the average.I've got a breakdown at my work computer, I'll post it tomorrow.

Ran across this the link where I saw six coaching vacancies.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Four coaches were let go on "Black Monday," the day after the regular season ends and the traditional day for firing coaches. Martz, Capers, Mike Sherman of Green Bay and Jim Haslett of New Orleans were canned.

They join Mike Tice of Minnesota, fired after the Vikings' final game on Sunday, and **** Vermeil of Kansas City, who retired Sunday at the age of 69. With the firing of Detroit's Steve Mariucci in November, that brings the number of vacancies to seven, with the prospect of one more - Norv Turner of Oakland, who could learn his fate Tuesday.

That's not an unusual number, especially since there were just three new coaches this season. Since the AFL-NFL merger in 1970, an average of 5.9 jobs per year opened up.

I was just going to say that Grid made a post about this a few years back. Maybe it was on Ol' Yeller.

Good read.

Maybe it's time for a career change ... seems like there's some opportunities opening.
