often, IMO, it’s the personnel decisions by ‘management’ that are clueless, yet continue on year after year. The teams that draft well are much better at picking players. There’s the elite pickers, the average pickers and the ‘what am I doing?’ pickers (though average could be broken down further).
With OCs and DCs taking over a team, it’s often to me how good are your players? on O, D, and ST. We all know it takes a lot of reps for players to get comfortable in their new scheme, but some coaches force feed their scheme and others adapt their scheme to their players. The adaptable ones are duly noted and the unadaptable? perhaps they have a losing record.

Results vary from year to year, injuries play a big part in a team’s demise, as well as players will tune out a coach.
Some teams bring back players too soon from an injury IMO, others cut a good player when he could still contribute.
The NFL really needs a developmental league for players and coaches as well.

I would rather read the win-loss records of OC’s and DC’s as they traipse(recycled?) between teams. Improvement W-L? Lapse W-L?
Some notable (to me) are Morningwheg, Sparano, Bates – theirs more of course, but an indepth review would include, -/+ win pt margin from prior years to their years and their after. I guess Prior, During, After but I can understand it’ll be a large under taking as some coaches have had long careers.

just a thought,

BTW as always enjoyed your articles and appreciate the great effort and analysis
