One and done: NFL head coaches who only lasted a season or less at the helm

Week 12 NFL Takeaways: Big W for team analytics
You remember that silly cheer from high school, “Be aggressive, B.E. aggressive?” In football, that only applies to the players. Please defensive end, bull rush right through the offensive tackle’s heart. But for the coaches the rules are different....
Are these second-year NFL QBs suffering a sophomore slump?
During the 2021 season, we tracked rookie QBs who were either drafted in the first round or started most of their team’s games.

Trevor Lawrence is finally looking like the QB we thought he’d be coming out of Clemson
Following Trevor Lawrence’s rookie NFL season, many people questioned whether he’d develop into the quarterback he’s been projected as since high school.

The Jacksonville Jaguars shocked the NFL world this past Sunday when they not only defeated the Los Angeles Chargers, but absolutely molly-whopped them 38-10. Yes, Keenan Allen was out.

Integrity is a funny word
The first rule for any professional sports athlete is that you can’t bet on the games. Technically it’s called Rule 21 and you can find it hanging in every Big League clubhouse. Pete Rose would walk past it every day for decades as a player and manager, paying it no mind, so his lifetime ban is the ...
Whatever happened to Travis Fulgham?
Every fantasy football player knows the name Travis Fulgham as someone who either lost them a matchup or won them several matchups during the middle of last season.

Wait… why isn’t Kyle Shanahan on the hot seat?
In four-plus years as the head coach in San Francisco, Kyle Shanahan has gone 31-38. He’s finished either third or last-place in his division in three of his four full seasons, and despite his teams consistently finishing in the top half of the league in terms of total offense and defense, they are ...
We need some of what Tony Romo’s smoking

WTF is Howie Roseman doing in Philly?
In the “WTF” moment of the weekend, the Philadelphia Eagles traded a conditional sixth-round draft pick to the Jacksonville Jaguars for quarterback Gardner Minshew. Yes, you read that correctly.

Doug Pederson says Eagles ‘brought in Jalen Hurts not to undermine Carson Wentz’ — sure, Jan
Just because you think something is true, it doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s actually true. From the Mandela effect to the Philadelphia Experiment — and the Geto Boys — we have proof that our minds can play tricks on us....

One thing is clear: The Doug Pederson era is over in Philadelphia
Yes, he’s the only coach in Eagles history to win a Super Bowl. And the statue of him and Nick Foles calling the “Philly Special” will remain outside Lincoln Financial Field. But Foles is gone, and Doug Pederson must follow him out the door....

The NFL finished its season, which is not an accomplishment
When the Washington Football Team finally sacked or tackled or whatever it was they did to whatever it was that Doug Pederson had inserted at QB last night, the NFL could claim it had completed its season without a hitch. All games were played, every team got to 16 games. They will tell you this was...
