Maybe this has been discussed before but I have been thinking about this.... The most "franchise stable" team in the NFL in the last 50 years has been the Pittsburgh Steelers... All their head coaches during that time, Chuck Noll, Bill Cowher, and Mike Tomlin, have been defensive guys....Bill Belechick was a defensive coach as an assistant before becoming the Patriots head coach... In college, Nick Saban is the dominant coach and he was a defensive assistant.. Over the years, lots of defensive guys were head coaches of dominant teams. Kirby Smart of Georgia was a defensive guy this year. Mike Zimmer is a defensive guru.
Though there can be many head coaches that were great offensive coaches as well like Bill Walsh in the pros and Urban Meyer that have been at the top of their profession... Certainly, Scott Frost is going to be a real good one. Steve Spurrier was a great one at the college level as an offensive guru.. Brian Billick was considered an offensive genius yet the Ravens won the Super Bowl because of their defense. Sean Payton is a heck of a mind Tony Dungy was a QB at Minnesota yet played DB in pros and coached defense throughout his coaching career before his head coaching gig. Chuck Noll was an offensive guard for the Browns though he played both sides of the ball at University of Dayton(he was also a linebacker)..
Just interested to see what you think????
