Coaching Changes Reflecting Trends
This NFL season shows fewer coaching changes than expected, with only a limited number of head coaches being fired. A significant reason for this trend is the financial impact of 'dead money' resulting from previous coaching dismissals, which teams aim to avoid. Owners are increasingly recognizing the costs associated with firing coaches, leading them to exercise more patience instead of opting for quick fixes. The discussion also highlights how some first-time head coaches have struggled, leading to a shift towards hiring experienced veterans for future openings.
