With Callahan not working as a head coach for the Raiders, but then again, who can work for Al Davis in the blackhole of California NFL football? We look forward towards some former NFL assistant coaches who stepped outside the box and attempted to be head coaches, for example Romeo Crennel and Charlie Weiss. Crennel has been involved in talks to return to a defensive coordinator position with many NFL teams, after his unsuccessful stint as a head coach for the Cleveland Browns and Weiss not being able to satisfy Touchdown Jesus in South Bend, as the ringmaster for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish? How do they get the label as, "fighting", I have seen them play and wouldn't say they were fighting to hard to win, but that is for another rant and rave blog to be released at a later date. Weiss has been connected with taking over playcalling and offensive coordinator duties for the Kansas City Chiefs of the NFL.
Those are just a few of the coaches that have stepped off the edge and were freefalling basically to be caught by a net at the bottom of the cliff that was being held by former NFL coaches. Have you ever checked and been surprised if not shocked at the number of former NFL head coaches that get fired, and become assistant coaches for other teams, it is not so much a coaching carousel, but a coaching merry-go-round, that sometimes throws a coach off onto the bumper cars, but just like any kid at a carnival, they soon return to the merry-go-round.
Its like the coaches of the NFL have a Union, speaking of do you think NCAA championship winning coach Nick Saban or fellow NFL-Benedict Arnold, Bobby Petrino have payed their Union membership dues?
Stump the followers: Among former and current NFL assistant coaches, who was the assistant coach that was tenured for the most consecutive years and how long did he coach? What NFL team did he led to rush for over 30,000 yards during his stint as the running backs coach?
hint:This coach has been on the sidelines for 742 of the franchise’s NFL games.
