Quote:Until reading your reply and looking up the new HCs in 2013, I didn't realize that Gus Bradley was the only coach from that crop that was primarily from the Defensive side of the ball. The Jaguars did indeed go against the grain. My take is from a year to year basis, the trends will change much more often than not. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if the majority of new NFL HCs in 2016 are primarily from the offensive side of the ball.

 

Going back to the 2013 crop, of the 8 HCs hired for that season, Cleveland, Chicago, and Buffalo no longer employ the HC they hired for 2013. The situations in places like New England, Green Bay, and Pittsburgh are much more the exception than the norm.
