Coaching Turnover in the NFL

Many NFL head coaches begin their journey in the college ranks or as NFL assistants. Coaches like Jimmy Johnson and Barry Switzer made direct transitions from powerhouse college programs (University of Miami and Oklahoma, respectively) to the NFL — both winning Super Bowls with the Dallas Cowboys. Even Paul "Bear" Bryant, one of college football’s most iconic figures, was once an NFL assistant for the New York Giants in the 1950s before returning to build his dynasty at Alabama.

While it’s rare for a college coach to find long-term success in the NFL, it’s even rarer for any coach to endure. Of the hundreds of head coaches in NFL history, only a handful have held their position for more than a decade. Bill Belichick (Patriots), Tom Landry (Cowboys), and Don Shula (Dolphins) are among the few to exceed 20 years with a single franchise. Shula still holds the record for most career wins as an NFL head coach, with 347 total victories.
