One of the more underrated and hard-to-calculate impacts on teams is when they choose to change their coaching staff. It may be a clean sweep or just a coordinator or two, but it does change how the offense works. Add in the change in player personnel and an offense may drastically differ from one season to the next.
2024 is yet another season of change. To date, we have eight new head coaches (1 in 4), 14 new offensive coordinators and 15 new defensive coordinators – nearly half of the league. To further show how much change is always in play, consider that only three offensive coordinators have been in that role for more than two years.
Basically, every three years there’s been an almost clean sweep of coordinators. Some are released and accept position coaching jobs elsewhere or a lucky few (or this year eight) step up into head coaching roles on the premise that success at one level means success at the next, however incorrect that typically proves.
