It only goes back to 1988

Didnt Landry miss the postseason for his first 5 or 6 years?

Then fired after missing the playoffs his last 3.

Funny, in that list it shows only six of those coaches with a 7-9 or 8-8 record. What Garrett will have one way or another after this game. The other 23 coaches had worse win/loss records if the this is the way coaches are being judged.

What even more humorous is of the list of 29 following coaches 20 of them were fired shortly after being hired to replace the coach who previously went three seasons without a winning season.

The only anomalies I see were Coughlin and Payton. In 4 out of 10 seasons Coughlin was no better than .500 or less. Payton has suffered 2 losing season out of 7 under his leadership.

Interessting stat. Nice find. Thanks for sharing.

On average, the teams that fired the head coach won 4.8 games in Year N, and then won 7.4 games in Year N+1.

Of the 32 teams to retain the head coach, the average team won 6.9 games in Year N and then 7.3 in Year N+1.

So short term there is a difference when firing the HC. But if you dont change the reason for the real problem it will turn out to have the same results in the middle to long run.

Essentially that means everything will stay the same if you dont solve what your real problems are. Whatever they are.

With todays' FA and ability to change your roster so quickly 3 years is a reasonable time to see if the coach is good enough. You look for steady improvement; if you do not get it fire him. If you do keep him.

Now for Red Ball it is interesting. The roster has gotten MARGINALLY better. Results are stagnant. SO you look deeper. Do you see anything that makes you believe a corner has been turned.
