Over the last 17 seasons in the NFL, there has been at least one newly hired head coach to make playoffs in their first season. Can Sean Payton make it 18 years in a row?
This offseason there has been five head coaching changes around the league. The Panthers moved on from Matt Rhule and hired Frank Reich, the Texans hired former player DeMeco Ryans to take the place of Lovie Smith, both Eagles coordinators got new gigs as head coaches in Arizona and Indianapolis, and finally the Denver Broncos upgraded from Nathaniel Hackett to Sean Payton.
