You can’t win a Super Bowl without a talented roster, but talent itself does not guarantee success in the NFL. A bad coach can waste a good roster as much as a good coach can elevate one.
Making things more difficult for the people in charge of hiring coaches, we’re *really* bad at predicting which coaching candidates are most equipped for the job. There have been plenty of great coordinators who’ve fallen flat on their faces when given a head job, and there have been uninspiring hires that have led to great results.
Every team in the league — well, except one — has hired a dud of a coach at some point. We’ve picked out the worst head coach in each team’s history.
One note before we get to the list: We picked only coaches hired after the NFL-AFL merger in 1970.
