-sucked dick in Cleveland for 2 years
-journeyman OC after that
-boom, head coach after a few years hiatus

It’s not just him. It’s Hue Jackson, it’s Dirk Koetter, and a billion guys in the past

I don’t get it

Nothing beats Marvin Lewis being HC since 2003.

I’m already predicting the next wave of these guys:

Frank Reich
Todd Bowles
Maybe Doug Maronne?

Tom Cable is at least a real man

He sucks as a coach but he’ll beat your arse

Is it just me or does Pat Shurmur bear a striking resemblance to Butch Jones? The two look like they could be brothers. Also are pretty comparable in terms of coaching ability.

Marvin is usually decent then they shite the bed. Plus his cheap owner keeps him around. He ain't a retread, yet.

The NFL coaching ranks is the biggest good ole boy network there is. They just keep hiring each other's rejects.

Exactly who should be getting these jobs then? Head coaching is just as much about organization and coaching connections as scheming.. there aren’t many belichicks laying around and even he is the poster child for second chances.. while some are horrible choices, there really aren’t that many game changer head coaches available..

I remember I said this when Mike McCoy got the Chargers job after coaching Peyton Manning and a ridiculous offense. They just pick coordinators of good units and half the time the unit was good because it was loaded with talent.

In fairness, Hue Jackson is a different situation.

Jackson was the OC in Oakland and oversaw an offensive improvement. He was the head coach and led the team to an 8-8 record in a very turbulent season.

If you didn't pay attention to the 2011 season, you would think Hue Jackson deserved a second chance. If you did pay attention, you laughed out loud when he was hired by Cleveland.

I don’t know, but I’d be creative about it.

I’d hire Lincoln Riley everyday before hiring another Dick Jauron type, I promise you that

He's only been the head coach of the Raiders. He's never been hired somewhere else.

True and there's always a new hot name or two each year who will get his first promotion to HC too. Jason Garrett unfortunately comes to mind

Who are successful retreads? Gary Kubiak..
