Philistine

]]> <![CDATA[The Tangled Web Of NFL Coaches]]> @TheStarterWife: By savior, do you mean replacing a coach that had a .438 winning percentage with an overhyped coach that produced a .484 winning percentage? Just want to make sure we're on the same page here.

]]> <![CDATA[The Tangled Web Of NFL Coaches]]> @GorgeForeman: Apparently karaoke golfing is just a method of training.

Sh!tShow

]]> <![CDATA[The Tangled Web Of NFL Coaches]]> Then Joe Walton headed to an assignment better suited to his dotage: the football machine at Robert Morris University.

Liverpool just put another one up: Bellamy assisting Riise. 2-1

]]> <![CDATA[The Tangled Web Of NFL Coaches]]> @Reasonable Doubt for a Reasonable Price: Yup, repping coaches who head to the NCAAs.

Signal to Noise

]]> <![CDATA[The Tangled Web Of NFL Coaches]]> The Steelers aren't retreading coaches, but think of how many of Bill Cowher's coordinators went on to head coaching gigs:

Dom Capers (twice)
Dick LeBeau
Mike Mularkey
Ken Whisenhunt
Chan Gailey

Bill Cowher should be a hub on this chart.

Also, speaking of retreads, am I the only one here who remembers Chuck Noll hiring former Jets head coach Joe Walton as his offensive coordinator around 1990? Walton had a 700-page playbook before Al Saunders did. Poor Bubby Brister didn't know who to throw it to, so he chucked it to the defense. The Walton era was short-lived, but memorable.

]]> <![CDATA[The Tangled Web Of NFL Coaches]]> My friends and I concocted a similar web, but it contained every girl that we had hooked up with linked to every guy that they had. Pretty terrifying.

]]> <![CDATA[The Tangled Web Of NFL Coaches]]> Also, they should have had a bunch of those coach's arrows pointing toward that diet product that's Hot Right Now among seemingly all of the middle-aged NFL alumni.

Wilf

]]> <![CDATA[The Tangled Web Of NFL Coaches]]> Actually, it's awesome that the Steelers logo was of no use to this exercise, 'cause they aren't in the coaching revolving door/retread business.

Wilf

]]> <![CDATA[The Tangled Web Of NFL Coaches]]> This is actually a map of the route Dominic Rhodes took to get home the other night.

Too soon?

Moobs

]]> <![CDATA[The Tangled Web Of NFL Coaches]]> Do interim head coaching stints not count? Because Dick Jauron would like to get some credit for the post-Mooch era in Detroit.

The General

]]> <![CDATA[The Tangled Web Of NFL Coaches]]> Is that an Animal House picture next to Dennis Erickson?

Reasonable Doubt for a Reasonable Price

]]> <![CDATA[The Tangled Web Of NFL Coaches]]> @TheStarterWife: Yeah, for whatever reason I forgot about his time there, he did have that one good season. In my mind it went:

Parcells -> Ray Handley -> ??? -> Fassell -> Current Dickhead Coach

throwbot

]]> <![CDATA[The Tangled Web Of NFL Coaches]]> Looks like a tangled web of six degrees of Kevin Bacon.

And to all the commentors on this site, you are 3 degrees from KB. How? I was dating Sedgwicks neice for a bit. When she stopped calling I watched "Footloose" to cheer myself up.

Triple B

]]> <![CDATA[The Tangled Web Of NFL Coaches]]> @throwbot: How can you forget Reeves at the Giants? He was the previous saviour there...

TheStarterWife

]]> <![CDATA[The Tangled Web Of NFL Coaches]]> It's like looking at the Physical Education Department page of the 1993 Mattoon High School yearbook.

]]> <![CDATA[The Tangled Web Of NFL Coaches]]> Cocaine Wayne where have you gone?

KittyLitterKing

]]> <![CDATA[The Tangled Web Of NFL Coaches]]> @badbabu: He went to Army.

And I would like to see a chart showing the places assistant coaches have interviewed and not been hired.

BradLee

]]> <![CDATA[The Tangled Web Of NFL Coaches]]> Wayne Fontes legacy only grows as the years go by. If a coach led the Lions to multiple playoff appearnces these day they'd erect a statue for him outside Ford Field.

Spanish Necktie

]]> <![CDATA[The Tangled Web Of NFL Coaches]]> Oh, Wayne Fontes we hardly knew thee!

StevieY19

]]> <![CDATA[The Tangled Web Of NFL Coaches]]> How can you have an NFL chart without the Stillirs?

And Ditka (!)

Dread

]]> <![CDATA[The Tangled Web Of NFL Coaches]]> I see the FOX logo, but no arrow to Steelers' head man Omar Epps.

]]> <![CDATA[The Tangled Web Of NFL Coaches]]> @Diddly: Good point. I was going to mention the appearance of Herm and Dungy, but we all know they're not really black. Sweater vests?

Raskolnikov

]]> <![CDATA[The Tangled Web Of NFL Coaches]]> fuck, I totally forgot that Dan Reeves coached the Giants. My brain must have blocked it out.

throwbot

]]> <![CDATA[The Tangled Web Of NFL Coaches]]> Ahh Wayne Fontes, you mock, but remember, who was the last Lions' head coach to guide the team to a playoff victory? You guessed it, it was the Big Buck!

Yostal

]]> <![CDATA[The Tangled Web Of NFL Coaches]]> It's a West Coast offense play.

Raskolnikov

]]> <![CDATA[The Tangled Web Of NFL Coaches]]> Sorry for the threadjack

Liverpool just scored against Barcelona and after his equalizing header Bellamy's (the guy who beat up his teammate with a golf club)celebration included a golf shot.

Kung Fu Cantona

Hustler of Culture

]]> <![CDATA[The Tangled Web Of NFL Coaches]]> @Tuffy: the other pages of the playbook are filled with 799 different versions of the same chart.

codemonkeymaster

]]> <![CDATA[The Tangled Web Of NFL Coaches]]> The hell's that grey blob between Bobby Ross and Fontes?

badbabu

]]> <![CDATA[The Tangled Web Of NFL Coaches]]> "Look at the bulge in Holmgren's pants."

Wow, that's not something that needed to be pointed out to me.

Spectacular Sam

]]> <![CDATA[The Tangled Web Of NFL Coaches]]> Best use of Deadspin Widescreen yet.

TheStarterWife

]]> <![CDATA[The Tangled Web Of NFL Coaches]]> I'm pretty sure this is pulled directly from Al Saunders' playbook.

Tuffy

]]> <![CDATA[The Tangled Web Of NFL Coaches]]> Denny Green got his ass crowned right off the chart, it looks like -- probably to the same place Art Shell went.

Signal to Noise

]]> <![CDATA[The Tangled Web Of NFL Coaches]]> @LingeringBursitis: Ray Rhodes is on there - if that isn't enough to keep blacks out of coaching, then I don't know what is.

diddly

]]> <![CDATA[The Tangled Web Of NFL Coaches]]> "Look at the bulge in Holmgren's pants." That made me laugh.

Stev D

]]> <![CDATA[The Tangled Web Of NFL Coaches]]> I can't tell where Art Shell goes.

In his pants if the nurse doesn't move quickly enough.

Tuffy

]]> <![CDATA[The Tangled Web Of NFL Coaches]]> Someone finally put the Good Old Boy Coaches Network in graphic form.

+1 for John Belushi to rep college stops.

Signal to Noise

]]> <![CDATA[The Tangled Web Of NFL Coaches]]> Has anyone seen Fontes since Bill Ford disappeared him? Is he out hunting bin Laden or something?

Greg Brady

]]> <![CDATA[The Tangled Web Of NFL Coaches]]> The lack of Jim Haslett officially makes him the red headed step child.

Oops Pow Surprise

]]> <![CDATA[The Tangled Web Of NFL Coaches]]> There should be one of these for bloggers.

Trenton Makes The World Takes

]]> <![CDATA[The Tangled Web Of NFL Coaches]]> It's not what you know, but who you know, evidently.

[sarcasm]
Keep them black folk out of coaching, tenured establishment! Old white men hold the key to unlocking the game of pro football.

LingeringBursitis

]]> <![CDATA[The Tangled Web Of NFL Coaches]]> It's like that chart in the show on Showtime, "The L Word". Not that I watch a show where hot chicks kiss and finger-fuck.
