How many "retread" head coaches actually pan out?!?

John Fox- took two teams to a super bowl, that's a great accomplishment

Dan Reeves- success with Denver and ATL, took them both to a Super Bowl

Gruden- took Raiders to SB and won SB with Bucs

The Tuna- success in NE, DAL, NYJ, Giants

Dungy-  Bucs and Colts

Reid- no explanation necessary

 

All I am saying is MOST retread coaches don't pan out and the ones that do were typically VERY successful in their first gig. This now leads me to Mr. Reich, what the hell did he massively accomplish in Indy that warranted the immediate rehire. He was the first coach fired last year and the first coach hired this year?

Reality is it's just really hard to find a super successful coach.

agreed but what did Reich show in Indy that makes you have to pull the trigger and have him as first coach hired this past off season

Only 18 of the retread coaches eventually won at least one playoff win. Nearly 87% of retread coaches get fired or retire without ever seeing any level of success after getting fired—even the coaches that were successful with their first team rarely see any real success with their subsequent teams.

However, of the 328 times when a team hired a first-time head coach, 100 times the team won at least one playoff game during that new coach’s tenure (30.5%). Also, more importantly, 38 of the 328 first-time hires won a championship (11.6%).

It’s valuable to note that 198 of those 328 first-time head coaching hires were never rehired by another team after leaving their first team. More than 60% of first-time head coaches will get fired and never get a second shot at being a head coach in the NFL.

However, even with the high failure rate of NFL/AFL coaches, it’s important to highlight that championships are heavily in favor of first-time hires. Since 1960, 46 different NFL/AFL coaches have won a championship. 38 of 46 (82.6%) of those championship coaches were with their first team.

Coaches are only as good as their team.

generally speaking.   and QB is the kingmaker. 

but I mean, some coaches are clearly better than others.  And you generally can see how good a coach is in bad times too.  Can they overachieve?  Or do they make a bad roster look even worse.  I think Frank is a guy that doesn't make people look better.

Ben Johnson dropped out. I genuinely don’t think Reich was ever going to get the job until that happened. 
But to answer your question he did nothing in Indy. Same with Philly. He was the OC but didn’t call plays. 
He was a bad hire. Didn’t like it then. Really don’t like it now.

Belichick after being fired from Cleveland, unless you want to say that was all Tommy B.

Technically Dan Campbell since he was an interim in Miami and wasn't retained.

I think Doug Pederson has done a decent job in Jacksonville, although they've been up and down. Still a lot better than they were. But you're right about him having success in his first gig.

Pete Carroll was fired by New England and won a SB with Seattle (and some natties with USC).

But yeah, it's mostly a crapshoot, and I agree Reich didn't show anything in Indianapolis that would lead someone to believe he'd suddenly be a superstar here. But I honestly didn't expect him to be THIS bad.

He did nothing other than create a terrible offense after Sirianni left.

reich's gimmick was that he had a different starting QB each year but was still able to make a few playoff appearances his first few season. in reality, he inherited a somewhat solid team from the previous regime and we all saw what happened towards the end of reich's tenure with the colts.

reich must have went into the Tepper's interview saying "I made the playoffs with a different QB each year, imagine what I can do with a young QB that I can handpick". Tepper being the gullible fool once again gets tricked into another bad decision and here we are

I mean, you can debate retread vs rookie, offensive vs defensive, college vs pro and any number of factors, but the bottom line is it just comes down to finding the right guy.

It is true that some guys who fail in one situation thrive in another. Maybe that's because they weren't the problem or perhaps it just wasn't an arrangement that worked.

There certainly might be trends, but you make a mistake if you sort everybody in a certain situation into one pile.

      Xavier Legette is the face of the NFL at the Kentucky Derby

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.
