The Coaching/Front Office Carousel

Is it better to hire a Head Coach with a background in Offense or Defense? It always seems like the talking heads say you need an offensive coach to get the most out of the QB. Here are the stats:

2023 Playoffs. Prior to Bills-Steelers and Bucs-Eagles, it is an even 5-5 split. I'm counting Harbaugh as defensive since his background was defense and special teams.

• Offense: Kyle Shanahan, Mike Lafleur, Dan Campbell, Nick Sirianni, Andy Reid
• Defense: John Harbaugh, Todd Bowles, Sean McDermott, Mike Tomlin, Demeco Ryans

Super Bowl Winners since 2000 is another even split.

• Offense: 12 out of 23
• Defense: 11 out of 23

Excluding duplicate Super Bowl winners mainly removes the Belichick Super Bowls, so here is the only indicator that it might be better to promote an OC over a DC.

• Offense: 10 out of 16
• Defense: 6 out of 16

Super Bowl Winners: Season, Coach, Specialty

• 2022, Andy Reid, Offense
• 2021, Sean McVay, Offense
• 2020, Bruce Arians, Offense
• 2019, Andy Reid, Offense
• 2018, Bill Belichick, Defense
• 2017, Doug Pederson, Offense
• 2016, Bill Belichick, Defense
• 2015, Gary Kubiak, Offense
• 2014, Bill Belichick, Defense
• 2013, Pete Carroll, Defense
• 2012, John Harbaugh, Special Teams/Defense
• 2011, Tom Coughlin, Offense
• 2010, Mike McCarthy, Offense
• 2009, Sean Payton, Offense
• 2008, Mike Tomlin, Defense
• 2007, Tom Coughlin, Offense
• 2006, Tony Dungy, Defense
• 2005, Bill Cowher, Defense
• 2004, Bill Belichick, Defense
• 2003, Bill Belichick, Defense
• 2002, Jon Gruden, Offense
• 2001, Bill Belichick, Defense
• 2000, Brian Billick, Offense

I see the Giants are going to interview the 49ers assistant special teams coach. That's about as low level as you can go without trying to get the towel boy.

Anyone else concerned that the Cowboys might fire McCarthy and hire Belichick? That move would instantly make them relevant.

This. No way Jerry hires a strong coach that would want to call the shots. The media is so excited For Bill to be an option to save their Cowboys. Not reality. Jerry will hire a weak coach he can walk over.

Belichick has been successful in one place. NE. He had Brady and the weakest division in football for about 20 years. He's not good in the draft especially when it comes to drafting offensive weapons. He'll be saddled wth a QB scheduled to make nearly $60 million next season. I don't see how that mkes the Cowboys instantly relevant. especially if Jerry doesn't keep his nose out of things.
