There was no coaching search for the Cleveland Browns this year, a very welcome change. But around the league, seven other teams did replace their head coaches.
It took some time, but the final head coaching hire is now final. The Houston Texans hired David Culley, the former passing game coordinator and assistant head coach for the Baltimore Ravens. Culley has no prior head coaching experience at any level of football and has never even been an offensive (or defensive) coordinator.
That makes Culley right at home with the new hires in this coaching carousel season. None of the seven men hired this offseason have been permanent head coaches before. Only Dan Campbell of the Detroit Lions has any experience at all; Campbell was the interim coach of the Miami Dolphins for 12 games.
The list of new coaches:
Chargers – Brandon Staley
Eagles – Nick Sirianni
Falcons – Arthur Smith
Jaguars – Urban Meyer
Jets – Robert Saleh
Lions – Dan Campbell
Texans – David Culley
