The bias towards hiring offensive coordinators as HC says everything about the NFL

[NYC Rebel]

There is simply a huge bias towards hiring offensive coordinators or so called innovators to become NFL head coaches. Every other position coach likely has to toil in the ranks as a DC or special teams coach for years before given a chance. Mike Zimmer comes to mind as a guy who should have gotten a head coaching job years ago. Just look at how easy Chip Kelly found another job simply because he's viewed as an innovative offensive coach.

It's wack. Some of the leagues great coaches were former DC's.

This is starting to get sickening.

Either way, you can find great coaches from others places other than OC

People need to check the coaches who've won Super Bowl AND College championships in the past 20 years. It's primarily former DCs who've done it. It's fukking mind boggling to me that someone hasn't hit up the Pats DC for a coaching position or the Cards DC

They don't pay to watch losing either. You look at the coaches that have won and most of them are defensive coaches. Teams turn around faster because of defense than they do offense generally as well.

With the hard salary cap in place there's a bigger emphasis on offense because of how much a good QB can sway things. Look at the teams who consistently win and are in the playoffs...all have elite level QB's in place.

The Jets did...unless you are talking about Bowles' replacement.

It's one of the reasons why the league is considered such an offensive league. Not enough defensive minds have a chance to lead teams anymore.

Blame Goodell. Rules are skewed towards offensive skill players, particularly the QB.

So who you think is gonna get the HC jobs?

Hes partially to blame but it's also these owners who believe you can only win when being led by one who comes from the offensive side of the ball

offense is more important
