Quote:To what other organizations do you refer?

 

Cleveland?  They have had eight (8) coaches since returning in 1999.  Going backwards...

 

Pettine

Chudzinski

Shurmur

Mangini

Crennel

Robiskie

Davis

Palmer

 

That averages out to one new coach every two seasons.

 

How have they thrived with such turnover?

 

They haven't.  The Browns have had all of TWO (2) winning seasons since returning in 1999, only one of which was a playoff season, and they lost that playoff appearance.  Their best players currently on the roster, including All Pro LT Joe Thomas, want out because of the constant coaching change.

 

Buffalo? 

 

They've had the same number of coaches Cleveland has had in the same time frame.  Counting backwards...

 

Ryan

Marrone

Gailey

Fewell

Jauron

Mularkey

Williams

Phillips

 

They have only been marginally more successful than Cleveland, with only five (5) .500 or better seasons since 2000, only two of those were actually winning seasons (both 9-7), and has not made the playoffs since 1999.

 

Oakland? They've had nine (9) coaches since 2003.

JDR

Sparano

Allen

Jackson

Cable

Kiffin

Shell

Turner

Callahan

 

Nary a winning season since then.

 

I know things haven't gone well.  But changing coaches every other year isn't the answer.  You have to give coaches the time to get the talent to fit their schemes.
