Offensive league

This is a crazy stat I just ran across.

Every single NFL team has had to replace their OC the last 2 years due to promotion or firing.

As soon as you get a good one, he’s gone.  You get a bad one, they’re all gone.

I'm just happy the Titans took the Callahan bullet. 

Yep it's an offensive league and having someone tied to the house that can run an offense is way more valuable than defense. True in Buffalo and true up in Philadelphia. Defensive guys can't afford to keep OCs that are not working out because they can't step in and run it while they can't keep the good ones for more than 2 years without them getting a shot somewhere else. That is incredibly tough while the 49ers pick up a Wilks from the scrap heap after losing Ryans and just keep going with a top 10 D(3/8 under Wilks vs 1/1 under Ryans).

 I think the more interesting stat is how many of these offensive minded HC last more than 3 years into their HC gig.

The average NFL coach only lasts 3 seasons. Are you suggesting that defensive-minded head coaches last longer than an offensive-minded one?

No, i'm just trying to put it into context. If the average HC only lasts 3 seasons, why does it matter if it's OC or DC? I think people are just getting tunnel vision that because this is an offensive league then OC must be the way to go at HC.

    • Valid points.  This article to me explained why they might take the chance with 2 proven veteran Guards and focus limited resources elsewhere.  If you sign a free agent, you spend $10m more than you are paying Corbett and Christensen.  If you draft a C, you have a rookie QB on the LOS in front of Bryce.  Maybe this is their only practical option, since there were many other needs that could not be staffed by currently rostered vets or rookies.  For example, they wanted a "type" at RB.  I said it before--if you look at RB and say, "Chuba had 900 yards behind a bad line!" that would be a great point.  However, he was very weak as a pass catcher and pass blocker when he arrived--he has shown promise as a pass catcher and some growth as a pass blocker.  In 2023, one site rated him the 25th best overall RB in the NFL among the top 72 "starters."  https://www.nfl.com/news/rb-index-ranking-all-72-starting-running-backs-from-the-2023-nfl-season Brooks is elite at Running, receiving, and is good at blocking.  We are better, and the pass catching with his YAC keeps defenses more honest that Chuba did.  How many sacks came after Chuba missed his block?  I dunno, but I saw it more than a few times.  We could not bring in a TE to find a weapon for Bryce.  We had to draft one.  So we had to draft WR, RB, and TE because we had no real options.  So if you look at the big picture, based on the information in the article as foundational knowledge of the C position, the fact that Corbett has never played center is not as important as his ability to play it.  But yes, it is not a given and it is risky--but it is one of the few positions we could upgrade (since we signed 2 stud Gs) with players already on the roster.  It is not ideal, but rebuilding a team with so many holes is impossible in one offseason.  When you laid out the options at every position and looked at the available cap room, this is probably the best option for the Panthers so they can address other needs where there are no options on the roster.
    • Yeah, I'm with you here. Nothing is 100% but so far I've been impressed by our new leaders. I thought the draft moves were great. I can't believe we got a 2nd next season and still got our targets with our first 2 picks. That was badass. Morgan is a dawg too. We can't forget that. Just look at those eyes. Morgan is intense.
